Summary

DigiLocker is an Indian government-operated digital document wallet and consent-based exchange platform through which approved businesses can use an OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect redirect flow to obtain a user’s profile details and government-issued documents, such as PAN records or driving licences, after the user signs in and grants consent. Private organizations registered in India may apply to become requesters, subject to NeGD review and approval, while foreign firms require an Indian mobile number and India-based server; no public fee schedule, sandbox, or onboarding timeline is specified. Digitally signed documents shared through DigiLocker are legally recognized at par with physical documents, and may qualify as equivalent e-documents for AML and KYC purposes when entities verify the digital signature and take a live photo. The service reports more than 700 million registered users and over 9 billion issued documents, but availability depends on whether the relevant issuer has a record and users need an Indian mobile number to register. Businesses receive only approved data, which may include a DigiLocker ID, name, date of birth, contact details, photo, and document files, while full Aadhaar numbers are not provided; because account profile information may not itself be verified, organizations should validate issued documents and maintain document-based verification alternatives for non-residents, missing records, outages, and other unsupported cases.
