MeitY stated that the integration allows citizens to “securely access, store, share, and digitally verify” their PVRs within the DigiLocker ecosystem, promoting a paperless and contactless service experience.
How to access your passport verification record?
Once the police verification for a passport is finalized, the PVR is automatically made available in the individual’s DigiLocker account.
Users can access it from the “Issued Documents” section through either of the following:
- DigiLocker mobile app
- DigiLocker web portal
No separate application or request is necessary; the document will appear once the verification process is completed by the issuing system.
What DigiLocker provides?
DigiLocker is a cloud-based service under the Digital India initiative that enables citizens to store and access government-issued digital records, including Aadhaar, driving licenses, and academic certificates. It facilitates secure sharing and real-time verification of documents without the need for physical copies.
Key benefits of having PVR on DigiLocker
- Individuals can review or download their PVR at any moment, which is especially beneficial for urgent travel arrangements, employment background checks, or compliance needs across various sectors.
- The PVR is issued directly from government systems and stored within DigiLocker’s secure framework, ensuring its authenticity and safeguarding against unauthorized alterations.
- Recruiters, travel agents, and various agencies often require passport verification. A digital PVR allows for swift sharing of the official record, minimizing delays associated with missing or outdated physical documents.
- Users can electronically share the document with authorized organizations through DigiLocker’s consent-based framework, eliminating the need for attested photocopies or multiple uploads on different platforms.
