Passport Verification Record Now Available on DigiLocker: Here’s How to Access It Easily

This is a huge step forward for digital convenience as the Passport Verification Record (PVR) is now made available in the DigiLocker app which empowers the users to view and share immediately one of the essential documents for travel, employment, and official verification purposes. The adoption of this change has done away with the trouble of having to keep physical copies and it is in line with the Indian government's effort to provide secure and paperless services under the Digital India campaign.

DigiLocker has integrated the past system of passport verification which has already been in place for several years in employment, visa, or industry-specific compliance checks— especially in banking, insurance, IT, aviation, and finance sectors where often, applicants have to upload scans or carry paper copies of their PVR countless times. The whole process now gets faster, safer, and much more efficient with DigiLocker integration.

How to Access Your Passport Verification Record on DigiLocker

The moment your passport verification process by the police is complete, the PVR is uploaded to your DigiLocker account without you having to request or apply for it.

You can then go through:

• DigiLocker mobile app
• DigiLocker web portal

Just take a look at the ‘Issued Documents’ area to access the document so that you can download or share your PVR at any time.

Key Benefits for Citizens

Faster Travel & Job Approvals

Proof of passport verification is often needed by many organizations from HR teams to travel agencies. The digital PVR being available in seconds means you are not affected by the delays resulting from the absence or being out-of-date of copies.

Secure & Tamper-Proof

Given that the PVR is generated and issued directly by government systems, it enjoys all the qualities of being completely authentic, secure, and immune to counterfeit or altered versions- which is of utmost importance for jobs that need high-level security clearance.

Access Anytime, Anywhere

No matter the situation whether you are traveling, changing jobs, or undergoing a background check, you can download the PVR with instant access. This service is very beneficial for people who work away from home, or who have lost the physical documents because of misplacing them.

Easy Digital Sharing

The consent-based sharing system of DigiLocker allows you to send your PVR securely to the authorized agencies thus eliminating the necessity for attested photocopies, courier services, or repetitive uploads.
