Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about integrating the DigiLocker API ecosystem.
1. What exactly is the DigiLocker Service API?
Our API acts as a secure gateway that allows your application to request and receive authentic, digitally signed documents from a user's DigiLocker account with their explicit permission.
2. How does the authentication flow work?
It follows an OAuth-style flow where the user is redirected to a secure login, verifies their identity via an OTP sent to their registered mobile number, and then authorizes the release of specific documents.
3. Are documents fetched via API legally valid?
Absolutely. Under the IT Act, 2000 and subsequent 2016 Rules, digitally issued documents from DigiLocker are legally equivalent to physical original documents for all verification purposes.
4. Which documents can my app retrieve?
You can access any document available in the issuer ecosystem, including Aadhaar cards, PAN records, Driving Licenses, Vehicle RCs, and academic certificates from thousands of registered issuers.
5. What security protocols are in place?
We utilize end-to-end 256-bit encryption for all data in transit. The API also requires valid headers and secret keys, ensuring that data is only accessible to authorized integrated partners.
6. Who is eligible to use this API?
It is designed for Fintech platforms, HR management systems, educational institutions, and any business that needs to automate document collection and identity verification.
7. Is the document retrieval instantaneous?
Yes. Once the user provides consent and the OTP is verified, the API fetches and delivers the document data or PDF link within milliseconds.
8. Can users revoke access later?
DigiLocker is built on a "Privacy by Design" principle. Users have full control over their dashboard and can view or revoke any active permissions they have granted to third-party applications.
9. How does this simplify onboarding?
It removes the friction of uploading photos or scanning documents. Users simply log in and approve, leading to much higher conversion rates and cleaner data for your backend.
10. Does the API provide structured JSON data?
Yes, our API parses the document data and provides it in a structured JSON format alongside the original PDF, making it easy to automate your internal verification logic.
