Digital Aadhaar in DigiLocker is the same as eAadhaar issued by UIDAI (https://eaadhaar.uidai.gov.in). DigiLocker has partnered with UIDAI to make it available automatically to its users when they link their DigiLocker account with Aadhaar.
The advantage of digital Aadhaar is that it can now be used in the same way as any other DigiLocker document.
Here are the steps to get eAadhaar in DigiLocker if you already have Aadhaar linked DigiLocker account:
- Login to DigiLocker with your credentials.
- Upon login to DigiLocker, you will see a dialog box with a message to get your eAadhaar.
- Click on “Click here” link. OTP box will appear in the dialog.
- You will receive an OTP on your mobile number linked to Aadhaar. Enter this OTP in the OTP box and click “Verify OTP” button.
- On successful validation of the OTP you will be redirected to “Issued Document” page where URI for eAadhaar will be listed.
- Click on “Save” icon next to Aadhaar Card on “Issued Document” page. Your eAadhaar will be saved to “Uploaded Document” section.
DigiLocker has partnered with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways for making available digital driving license & vehicle registration certificates to Indian citizens. Under this partnership, DigiLocker is now directly integrated with the National Register, which is the national database of driving license and vehicle registration data across the country. Henceforth, DigiLocker users will be able to access their digital RC & DL both on desktop computers and on mobile devices.
Benefits of this integration -
- Paperless Services: Digital driving license and vehicle registration will minimize the use of physical documents.
- Authentic Records: Citizens can share the authentic digital certificates directly from the data source with other departments as identity and address proof resulting in reduction of administrative overhead.
- Spot Verification: The digital RC and DL in a DigiLocker account can be spot verified for authenticity either by validating the Digital Signature of MoRTH on the PDF copy of the document or by scanning the QR code on digital documents by using the QR scan facility on DigiLocker mobile app.
Please see this step by step demo for the process of getting the digital RC & DL

Once a registered issuer issues an e-document for a particular Aadhaar number (and the respective DigiLocker account already exists for that Aadhaar number), the URI for that document will be get pushed automatically into DigiLocker.
