Govt developing platform to update DigiLocker documents using Aadhaar

The IT ministry plans to first approach departments that issue important documents such as driving licenses, ration cards, voter ID cards, etc. Passports are likely to be brought in later

The Center is preparing to launch a platform to update addresses and other demographic details across departments through Aadhaar. The facility will be available to citizens who store their documents in DigiLocker, according to a report in The Economic Times (ET).

Various government ministries are holding discussions to prepare an outline for the platform. The ministries of transport, rural  development, and panchayati raj, along with the Election Commission, are discussing the specifics of the platform. The report said that the platform is at a nascent stage at this point and that work on conceptualisation and development is ongoing.
