Getting issued documents in DigiLocker means you fetch authentic e-Aadhaar, driving licence, RC, marksheets and certificates from government and partner issuers into your wallet. After a successful pull you can download PDFs or share via consent.

Why Issued Fetch Matters
Uploading a photo of a marksheet is not the same as pulling the board’s issued copy. Issued documents matter because:
- Banks and many offices trust issuer-signed DigiLocker records
- Your wallet becomes a single place for identity + transport + education proofs
- Fresh fetches pick up corrections made at UIDAI, RTO, or board
- Share and download features work cleanly once the doc is issued, not merely uploaded
- You spend less time chasing photocopies before deadlines
Soft note: if an issuer is not listed, DigiLocker cannot invent the document—integration must exist on the live catalogue.
Fetching also prevents the common mix-up where a citizen shows a phone gallery photo of a laminated card. Issued DigiLocker copies travel with the cryptographic trust many partners expect. Soft note: acceptance still depends on the receiving office’s checklist.

Issued vs Uploaded
| Type | Meaning | Typical trust |
|---|---|---|
| Issued documents | From UIDAI, RTO, boards, departments via DigiLocker | High — often digitally signed |
| Uploaded / Drive | You upload a scan yourself | Backup only; may fail as “original” |
For jobs, banks and admissions, prefer issued pulls.
How to Fetch Issued Documents (General Steps)
- Login (register first if needed).
- Open Issued Documents or Get documents / Browse issuers.
- Search by category (Identity, Transport, Education, Government) or state.
- Select the issuer (UIDAI, transport, board, university, etc.).
- Enter parameters: consent for Aadhaar, roll + year, RC number, DL number, and so on.
- Complete OTP / e-sign / consent prompts.
- Confirm the file under Issued Documents.
- Optionally download or share.
Soft note: button names shift; stay on digilocker.gov.in and follow the current wizard.
Pull e-Aadhaar (UIDAI)
- Login → search UIDAI / Aadhaar under Identity issuers.
- Allow consent to fetch e-Aadhaar.
- Verify OTP on the Aadhaar-registered mobile if asked.
- Open Issued Documents → Aadhaar.
- Download or share as needed.
Also useful: Download Aadhaar online via UIDAI.
Marksheet, DL, and RC Paths
| Document | Typical DigiLocker path |
|---|---|
| Board marksheet | Education → board name → roll + year |
| Driving licence | Transport → state issuer → DL parameters |
| Vehicle RC | Transport → RC / registration parameters |
| Degree / diploma | University issuer if listed |
Fetch issued documents only after official DigiLocker login
📥 Login & Get Issued Documents (Official) DigiLocker Official WebsitePractical Scenarios
| Scenario | What to fetch first |
|---|---|
| Bank account opening tomorrow | e-Aadhaar into Issued Documents, then use partner DigiLocker share |
| College admission portal open | Board marksheet with exact roll/year; re-check name spelling against the board record |
| Traffic stop / insurance desk asking for DL | State transport DL pull; keep PDF download as backup if the desk is offline |
| Buying/selling vehicle paperwork | RC via transport issuer when integrated; confirm registration string matches the RC book |
| Job offer asks for “DigiLocker docs” | Pull Aadhaar + any education certificates listed; avoid uploading gallery photos into Drive as a shortcut |
Soft note: some universities and older board years are not integrated—if the issuer never appears in search, DigiLocker cannot fetch that certificate yet.
Tips for a Clean Fetch
- Match name spelling to the source record.
- Keep Aadhaar mobile active when OTP is required.
- Enter exact roll number, year, and RC/DL strings.
- Retry during issuer maintenance windows.
- Correct data at source (UIDAI / RTO / board) if DigiLocker returns mismatch errors.
Parameter hygiene
- Copy roll numbers from the physical marksheet; do not rely on memory for leading zeros
- For RC, use the format the transport issuer expects (spaces and state codes matter)
- For DL, pick the correct state issuer even if you now live elsewhere
- One failed fetch is not a reason to create a second DigiLocker account—fix parameters first
After Documents Appear
| Goal | Guide |
|---|---|
| Save PDF to phone/PC | Download DigiLocker documents |
| Bank / employer verification | Share DigiLocker documents |
| New wallet user | DigiLocker registration & login |
What happens after a successful fetch
- The document sits under Issued Documents with issuer metadata.
- You can open a preview, download a PDF, or start a consent share.
- Soft note: if you later correct name/address at the source department, re-fetch so DigiLocker is not showing a stale copy.
- Partners who verify DigiLocker usually need the issued entry—not a Drive upload of the same PDF.
- Keep your DigiLocker session logged out on shared devices after you finish fetching sensitive IDs.
Common Fetch Mistakes
| Mistake | Better habit |
|---|---|
| Uploading a photo and calling it “issued” | Use Get documents / issuer fetch |
| Wrong board year or roll format | Match the printed marksheet exactly |
| Selecting the wrong state for DL/RC | Choose the issuing state’s transport issuer |
| Paying an agent to “add Aadhaar” | Free on digilocker.gov.in after your own login |
| Creating multiple DigiLocker accounts | Stick to one account tied to your Aadhaar |
| Ignoring OTP on the Aadhaar mobile | Update mobile via UIDAI channels if the SIM is dead |
Security Tips While Fetching
- Use only https://www.digilocker.gov.in or the official mobile app store listing
- Never share DigiLocker password or OTP with café operators or “KYC helpers”
- Prefer a private network when pulling e-Aadhaar
- After fetch, do not post screenshots of full Aadhaar or marksheet details on social media
- If a site asks you to “login DigiLocker here” but the domain is not digilocker.gov.in, stop
Problems and Pitfalls
| Issue | What to try |
|---|---|
| Issuer not found | Confirm spelling; browse category; issuer may not be integrated |
| Parameter error | Recheck roll/year/RC; remove spaces; try alternate year format |
| OTP not arriving | Fix Aadhaar mobile; wait; avoid dual login storms |
| Wrong data on issued copy | Update source first, then re-fetch |
| Empty Issued list | Complete fetch; do not confuse with Drive uploads |
Pitfalls: creating multiple DigiLocker accounts for the same person, paying agents for free fetches, uploading a photo and assuming banks will treat it as issued.
When to Visit an Office (Instead of Retrying Forever)
Online fetch is enough for most integrated documents, but plan an offline visit when:
- UIDAI / Aadhaar Seva Kendra is needed because Aadhaar data or mobile must be corrected before e-Aadhaar will fetch
- RTO / transport must correct DL or RC demographics that DigiLocker keeps rejecting
- The education board must reissue or correct a marksheet that is not available digitally
- An employer or college refuses digital proofs and demands attested physical copies regardless of DigiLocker
Soft note: DigiLocker mirrors issuer data—it does not replace the department that owns the original record.
Building a Useful Issued Wallet (Without Hoarding)
You do not need every certificate in DigiLocker on day one. A practical sequence for most adults:
- e-Aadhaar — unlocks bank and many government KYC shares.
- Driving licence / RC — if you drive or own a vehicle and your state issuer is listed.
- Class 10 / 12 marksheet — before admissions, scholarships, or first-job document lists.
- Degree / diploma — only when the university appears in DigiLocker’s catalogue.
Soft note: re-fetch after major corrections (name, address, photo) so partners do not verify an outdated issued copy. Keep Drive uploads for personal backup only; they do not replace issuer pulls for DigiLocker KYC.

Quick Recap
To get issued documents in DigiLocker, login, open issuers / Get documents, fetch e-Aadhaar, DL, RC or marksheet with exact parameters, then download or share from Issued Documents. Soft note: Drive uploads are not a substitute—pull the issuer copy whenever the catalogue allows.
