The government, on Thursday, issued
an advisory to all states to accept documents in electronic form. With the idea
of paperless governance, and an aim to make life simpler for citizens, the
government announced that documents such as driving license, car
registration, voter ID, PAN card, school and college certificates, and many
other documents issued by the government will now be accepted, when presented
in digital form. These documents can even be used for photo ID purposes at
airports and railway stations.
DigiLocker, as the name suggests, is
a 'digital locker' for citizens to securely save copies of all their documents.
DigiLocker is a platform for issuance
and verification of documents and certificates in a digital format, thereby
eliminating the use of physical documents. Indian citizens who sign up for a
DigiLocker account get a dedicated cloud storage space that is linked to their
Aadhaar or UIDAI number.
Government departments and
organisations which are registered with DigiLocker can push electronic copies
of documents and certificates issued by them, directly into the citizens
lockers. Citizens can also upload scanned copies of their documents in their
accounts. These documents can be electronically signed as well, using the eSign
facility.
