DigiLocker is a digital document storage platform launched by the Government of India in 2015 as part of the Digital India initiative. Its primary goal is to provide Indian citizens with a secure cloud-based platform to store, share, and verify official documents digitally. With DigiLocker, users can store a wide range of documents like Aadhaar cards, PAN cards, educational certificates, driving licenses, and vehicle registration papers, eliminating the need to carry physical copies. The platform’s interaction design focuses on simplifying document management for users. DigiLocker provides a seamless user experience with features like easy document upload, verification from official issuers, and integration with various government and private agencies for automatic retrieval of e-documents. Users can access their documents anytime through the web or mobile app, share them with authorised agencies, and avoid the hassle of carrying paper versions. The integration with Aadhaar and UPI adds to the security and ease of use. DigiLocker has been widely adopted for various applications, including verification of identity, submission of documents for job applications, and accessing government services. Its innovation lies in streamlining digital governance and contributing to a paperless ecosystem, further promoting efficiency and transparency in administrative processes. DigiLocker stands out in the interaction design domain for creating a user-friendly, secure, and reliable platform for document storage and verification. It empowers users by giving them control over their important documents and supports the broader mission of digital governance in India.
