What the DigiLocker Verification API does

DigiLocker is the Government of India's document wallet, and documents pulled from it are issued directly by the issuing authority. The DigiLocker Verification API turns that into a two-step flow: you request a consent link, the person completes the authorisation on their phone, and the verified documents plus eKYC details arrive in your case or via webhook.

It replaces the weakest link in onboarding, the photographed document, with an authoritative copy. It is the recommended path when you need the document itself, not just a validation of the number printed on it.

Consent is part of the contract

Consent is intrinsic to the flow: nothing is shared until the individual authorises it inside DigiLocker. Profiden records the authorisation event and links it to the case.

Benefits of the DigiLocker Verification API

Let the person share government-issued documents with consent, verified at source.

Issuer-verified documents

Documents come straight from the issuing authority, so tampering and Photoshop are off the table.

Consent-native

The person shares what they choose. Ideal for DPDP-aligned, transparent onboarding.

Mobile-first for candidates

A single link on WhatsApp, SMS or email completes the whole exchange.

Async by design

Poll the status or receive a webhook the moment documents land.

DigiLocker Verification API: frequently asked questions

What teams ask before adding the DigiLocker Verification API to their integration.

It depends on the person. Most complete the DigiLocker authorisation in under two minutes from receiving the link. Your integration polls the status or listens for the webhook rather than waiting on the request.

DigiLocker lets them create one with their Aadhaar-linked mobile during the same flow, so coverage is effectively everyone with Aadhaar.

Aadhaar (eKYC), PAN and driving licence are supported today. The documents arrive digitally signed by the issuer.

You receive a hosted consent link. Send it through any channel or open it from your own app; the person is returned to a completion screen and your system is notified.
