How to Upload Documents into DigiLocker?

DigiLocker provides a secure and convenient way to store and manage your digital documents. This guide will walk you through the process of uploading your own documents onto the platform.

There can be two types of documents that can be added to the DigiLocker Account i.e. Issued Documents and Uploaded Documents.

Issued Documents	Uploaded Documents
These are electronic documents (e-documents) directly fetched from various government agencies. They come in a pre-formatted digital format and cannot be edited by users. Examples include PAN cards, driving licenses, and educational certificates. You’ll find these documents under the “Issued Documents” section of your DigiLocker.	You, the user, upload these documents directly onto your DigiLocker account. These can be scanned copies of physical documents, personal certificates, or any other document you wish to keep electronically secure. You’ll find them under the “Uploaded Documents” section.

What Type of Files Can you Upload?

DigiLocker currently accepts the following file formats:

• PDF (Portable Document Format)
