Several years ago, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Meity) introduced DigiLocker, an online digitization service. Digital versions of valid documents and certificates, such as driver’s license, vehicle registration and academic transcripts, are made available through DigiLocker. While Aadhaar holders have access to a specific DigiLocker website and app, its services are also offered via WhatsApp. Interested parties can quickly get their papers from DigiLocker via the MyGov Helpdesk WhatsApp chatbot, such as an Aadhaar card or a PAN card.
One can quickly obtain and access all their official documents using the MyGov Helpdesk chatbot by following a few simple steps. Some of the documents are Aadhaar card, PAN, driver’s license, grade reports and others. The WhatsApp chatbot service can be useful if you are not yet familiar with the DigiLocker website or app. In addition to your Aadhaar card, PAN and other documents, you can always access your marker sheets on WhatsApp.
