THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Digital lockers that would facilitate storing of documents in e-format are being launched as part of the state-wide e-district project.
With this facility in place, people can upload the copies of their certificates in these lockers and download them when they need it.
A person is required to have his/her Aadhaar number to open the digital account.
Personal certificates and other documents can be safely stored this way and in the place of submitting document copies for job applications and other purposes, providing the Aadhaar number would suffice.
Using the Aadhaar number, an individual or institution can verify the documents in the digital format itself. Submitting the copy of a certificate more than once can also be avoided. Likewise, offices and institutions need not have to collect and store the certificates of applicants.
Camps for digital locker enrolment will be held at all the civil stations and select education institutions till Saturday.
Arrangements are in place to open digital locker accounts in all Akshaya Centres.
An individual who has registered on the website, www.digital-locker.gov.in and have got Aadhaar number can utilise this facility.
