- The Passport Verification Records (PVRs) have been enabled on DigiLocker by the National e-Governance Division in collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs.
- DigiLocker is a cloud-based platform under Digital India that allows citizens to store, access, share, and digitally verify documents.
- This integration was launched to reduce reliance on physical records and promote paperless governance.
- Verified PVRs can now be viewed in the "Issued Documents" section of the citizen's DigiLocker account.
- Citizens will be able to digitally share their PVRs with authorized requestors, ensuring consent-based verification.
- This initiative is expected to simplify travel, employment, and compliance processes, as well as save time and reduce paperwork.
- The digitally issued PVRs are tamper-proof, authentic, and secure, in line with the DigiLocker architecture.
