MyGov stated earlier this week that Indian citizens will soon be able to access DigiLocker through the MyGov WhatsApp helpdesk. This service will make using DigiLocker even simpler, as you will no longer need to have a separate application to instantly download and print original papers such as your Aadhaar card, Pan card, and other documents.
Carrying the vehicle’s registration papers and DL with you when you leave the house is something that people sometimes forget. The administration has now taken a step to solve this problem. Now by linking your WhatsApp with Digilocker, you can download a variety of documents on your phone, including your driver’s license and registration certificate. So let’s find out how can we use this feature.
To use this service, you must have a Digilocker account and have already retrieved issued documents. One can, however, set up a new Digilocker account through WhatsApp also just by entering the Aadhar details.

- PAN card
- Driver’s License
- CBSE Class X Passing Certificate
- Class X mark sheet
- Class XII mark sheet
- Vehicle Registration Certificate
- Two-Wheeler Insurance Policy
- Policy Document (for life and non-life).
