Digilocker Benefits: We keep important documents like Aadhar Card, Driving Licenses,s, and PAN Card in our wallets. This is because if ever we had to show any document, it is present with us. However, it is risky as they can get lost in the process of carrying them with you always. If your personal information falls into the wrong hands, it can put you at risk. So we have brought its solution for you. There are many apps that allow you to save digital copies of important documents. The app we are talking about today is Digilocker. This app was launched by the Government of India and it allows you to save your school and college mark sheets, passport, ID proof, and many other documents in digital form. This means, your documents can be taken with you on your phone wherever you go. DigiLocker is available on both Android and iOS devices.

Benefits of Digilocker

Is it easy to use?
The interface of Digilocker is simple. The home section has categories of documents issued by the central government, state government, education, banking, insurance, and other departments. You have to save your certificate or document by selecting the category.

There are two more options in the left menu – Uploaded Documents and Scan QR Code. Uploaded Documents show all the important documents that you want to record in Digilocker. You can also manually create folders to access them.

Is this safe?
Digilocker is safe to use. The app is all designed to keep your personal data secure. The app is introduced with ISO 27001 standards to secure your personal and financial asset information. This app also uses a 256-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate. This means that the information you provide to issue the document is encrypted.

The next important security table is Mobile Authentication Best Sign-up. When users access the DigiLocker app, they are authenticated using mobile OTP. Another step has been taken to keep user details safe from unauthorized access and that is, DigiLocker terminates the session. This happens when there is no activity on the app for a long time.

Some of the documents supported by the Digilocker app are Aadhar cards, PAN verification records, registration of vehicles and birth certificates, etc.
