A very relieving and great news has come for crores of citizens of the country. Now it will be easy to make changes like name, address, or mobile number in your important identity documents like Aadhar card, PAN card, voter ID, and driving license.
Yes, the central government is coming up with a new digital scheme, knowing which you will also be overjoyed. Under this scheme, the government is going to launch a portal, through which all your important documents will be updated from one place in just 3 days.
What is a Unified Digital ID System
The Modi government is soon going to implement a revolutionary scheme called ‘Unified Digital Identity System’. With the help of this portal, you will be able to link your Aadhaar, PAN, driving license and other identity cards together and if you make changes in any one document, the same update will be done automatically in all the other documents. It has been seen so far that if someone wants to correct their name or change the address, then they have to visit the offices of different departments again and again. Sometimes the server is down, sometimes the documents are incomplete, sometimes the process is very long – due to these reasons people have to wait for months.
How will this portal work
This portal being prepared by the government is being designed in such a way that the user will have to choose the option related to his document only.
Suppose you want to update your mobile number, then you have to choose the option of “Mobile Number Update”. If you want to change the address, then a separate option will be available for that.
After this, the user has to upload the relevant authentic documents. Like – an electricity bill or rent agreement to prove the new address.
Through the portal, your documents will be updated in three working days. The biggest feature: Automatic update,
The most special thing about this portal is that as soon as you make changes in one document, the same change will be automatically made in all the other important documents.
For example – if you change the mobile number on your Aadhaar card, then the same mobile number will be automatically updated in your PAN card, driving license, and passport.
This facility will prove to be a boon for crores of people, as it will not only save time but will also reduce expenses and increase transparency in government processes.
When will this portal start
According to media reports, the trial run of this unified digital portal is currently going on. There were some technical and legal hurdles, the solution of which is now in the final stage. The government has also made full preparations regarding data security. The portal has been developed in such a way that the user’s information remains completely confidential and secure.
According to officials, so far in the trial run, this portal has achieved more than 92% accuracy, which is a big record in itself. In a few months, this facility will be started for common citizens. However, the official name of this portal has not been decided yet. As soon as the test is completed, its name and launch date will also be announced.
Why is this change necessary
In this era of Digital India, when every service is available on mobile or internet, the process of updating the identity card still remains as old and complicated.
This is the reason why it has been decided to bring this new portal, so that the public gets more convenience and the government system can also become smarter and faster.
This step will not only save time but will also help in preventing fraud. Also, the government will also have accurate and updated information of the citizens.
This initiative can prove to be a game changer for the 140 crore citizens of the country. People who had to wait for months to change their documents will now be able to do this work sitting at home in just 3 days.
This scheme of the government is a step to take Digital India to another height. Now we have to see how quickly its benefits reach the common people and how it makes our lives easier.
