Secure Access: This link to Aadhaar ensures that only the rightful owner can access and manage their documents. It provides a secure and verifiable identity layer.
Single Source of Truth: By connecting to Aadhaar, DigiLocker can securely pull and verify documents directly from various government departments, such as a driver's license from the transport department or a degree certificate from an education board.
Centralized Storage: This linkage allows all verified digital documents to be stored in a centralized, secure cloud space, eliminating the need for physical copies and making them accessible anytime, anywhere.
Legal Validity: Documents issued through this Aadhaar-linked system are considered legally valid, on par with their physical counterparts, for official purposes.
