DigiLocker, an initiative under the Digital India mission, launched in 2015, is a cloud document storage wallet developed by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).
A DigiLocker account would help individuals to have e-documents handy, such as UAN, Pension Payment Order, Scheme Certificate, and ABHA health account.
Users can also upload documents and add nominees to their DigiLocker accounts. Individuals will have to have an Aadhaar number to set up a DigiLocker account.
Having a DigiLocker account would make it simple for individuals to share or download their Aadhaar copy online.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to download and share your Aadhaar card using the DigiLocker app to your WhatsApp contacts or mail.
Steps to share Aadhaar copy using DigiLocker
