DigiLocker already offers access to various government records like Aadhaar, PAN, driving license, vehicle registration certificate, and academic documents. The inclusion of passport verification records further enhances its utility as an all-in-one digital document repository for Indian citizens.
Accessibility to DigiLocker’s web version via mobile devices
As per the announcement, users can now access their PVR via the web version of DigiLocker using both desktop and mobile versions.
