Passport Verification Records Go Live on DigiLocker in India

The MeitYMEA integration delivers officially issued, tamper‑resistant PVRs with consent‑based sharing to cut paperwork.

Overview

  • Once a passport check is completed, the record automatically appears in the Issued Documents section of a user’s DigiLocker account on web or mobile.
  • Users can share these records instantly on a consent basis with authorised institutions, removing the need for attested photocopies.
  • Documents are issued directly from government databases, providing authenticity guarantees and built‑in protections against tampering.
  • Digital access is intended to speed routine checks for travel, visa processing, hiring and regulatory compliance.
  • The rollout, developed by MeitY’s National e‑Governance Division with the Ministry of External Affairs, advances Digital India’s paperless, contactless service model.
