The DigiLocker app has added a new feature allowing Indian citizens to access their Passport Verification Records (PVR) digitally, eliminating the need to visit government offices. Launched on 3 December 2025, this initiative by the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY), in collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and National e-Governance Division (NeGD), aims to simplify passport-related processes.
The PVR confirms that all required verifications—such as police verification and address checks—are complete. Citizens can now securely store and access these records via DigiLocker, just like Aadhaar, PAN, driving license, and educational documents. The digital format saves time, increases transparency, and facilitates sharing with institutions for visa applications, job processes, and other formalities.
While early users report some technical issues, DigiLocker promises a faster, more convenient, and paperless passport verification system, marking a significant step in India’s e-governance initiatives.
