Using DigiLocker for Hiring: Faster, Safer, and Source-Verified
How DigiLocker-based verification works for hiring teams in India, what documents it covers, and where it fits in a modern BGV workflow.
DigiLocker is India's government-issued digital document wallet. For hiring teams, it's one of the cleanest ways to verify identity and credentials at the source — without chasing physical copies.
What you can pull from DigiLocker
- Aadhaar (identity + address)
- PAN (tax)
- Driving Licence and Vehicle RC
- Class 10 / 12 and degree certificates from participating boards and universities
Why DigiLocker beats document upload
A self-uploaded PDF is a self-claim. A DigiLocker-issued document is signed by the originating authority and verifiable cryptographically. The verification is implicit — there's nothing to chase, nothing to second-guess.
Where DigiLocker fits in BGV
Use DigiLocker for identity, address, and credentials that participating issuers support. Layer source-verified employment and platform-experience checks on top for the full picture. The candidate's consent flow runs in seconds.
