Sign In/Sign Up

It’s simple to sign up for DigiLocker; all you need is your phone number or Aadhaar number. An OTP (one-time password) will be sent to your mobile/Aadhaar number, followed by the setup of your security PIN for 2-factor authentication. Your DigiLocker account will be created as a result of this.

The DigiLocker/UIDAI system generates a random one-time password that is transmitted to your registered mobile number.

The OTP is only valid for ten minutes. If you enter the OTP after 10 minutes, it will become invalid, and you will need to request a new one.

Your mobile must be linked to your Aadhaar number in order to link your DigiLocker account with it. Please double-check that this is the case.
Visit https://eaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/ and download your eAadhaar to confirm this. During this process, you will be able to verify the connected cellphone number (last four digits).

You need to link Mobile number with Aadhaar. Please visit nearest Aadhaar Kendra. Click the link to get list of Aadhaar enrolment centres.

For registering with DigiLocker, please make sure you have correctly entered the 12 digit Aadhaar number that you received from UIDAI in the given text box.
While using DigiLocker, the OTP is sent instantaneously. Sometimes there may be temporary problems either on our servers (while generating/sending OTP) or in delivery of the SMS by your mobile service provider. We suggest you wait for few more minutes and try again.

This can happen owing to technical difficulties with our servers or the UIDAI service. It’s most likely a one-time issue. Please try again after a short period of time.

You no longer need a username to log in. Instead of a username, you can use your cellphone number or Aadhaar, and after entering the OTP, you will be able to access your account.

The information displayed on your DigiLocker account’s Aadhaar profile (such as name, address, email, and mobile number) is for display purposes only. This data can only be retrieved from UIDAI, and no modifications can be made to it using DigiLocker. Please contact your local Aadhaar enrolment facility to make updates to your Aadhaar data.

Username once created in DigiLocker cannot be changed currently.
Yes, the mobile number used during the DigiLocker signup process can be updated. This option is available in the profile section (only while DigiLocker is not linked with Aadhaar).
No, it is not possible. You can register in DigiLocker using Indian mobile number only.
