Show Issued Documents in DigiLocker and Enter Airports

Home Aadhar Card Show Issued Documents in DigiLocker and Enter Airports

The Ministry of Civil Aviation, in Addendum to AVSEC Circular No. 15/2017 dated 27th October 2018, has directed that government documents/id proofs issued in the DigiLocker app such as Aadhaar, PAN and driving license shall be accepted as valid identity proof for entering the airport premises at the time of departure. This move by the government will make airports easily accessible in a paperless manner. After this move, it has become easy for flyers to show issued documents in DigiLocker and enter airports.
