🔟 Steps (do this now)

1) Create or sign in to DigiLocker
Open the DigiLocker app/website → Sign in with your mobile or Create account. If you prefer, link Aadhaar later for smoother fetching. DigiLocker+1
Tip: If OTP isn’t arriving, switch between SMS/WhatsApp OTP (if offered) or retry after 5–10 minutes.

2) (Optional but helpful) Link Aadhaar
From Profile/Settings, choose Link Aadhaar and complete OTP/biometric. This often simplifies document fetch across issuers. You can still use DigiLocker with only mobile if Aadhaar isn’t ready. nad.digilocker.gov.in

3) Find your issuing board in DigiLocker
Go to Browse Issuers → Education/Boards. For CBSE, open CBSE Academic Repository. For states, search your board (e.g., Maharashtra State Board of Secondary & Higher Secondary Education). cbse.digitallocker.gov.in+1

4) Choose the exact document type
Pick Marksheet, Passing Certificate, or Migration Certificate for your class and year (e.g., CBSE Class XII 2024 Marksheet). CBSE supports digital docs 2017 onwards. cbse.digitallocker.gov.in

5) Enter your exam details carefully
Fill Roll/Seat No., DOB, Year, School/Center No. if asked.
Quick note: Format must match your admit card—leading zeros matter.

6) (CBSE only) Enter the six-digit access code (if prompted)
CBSE rolled out a six-digit access code system for activating student DigiLocker accounts around result time; schools share it. If you don’t have it, ask your school. CBSE+1

7) Fetch and save to your DigiLocker
Hit Get Document → allow issuer fetch → the document appears in Issued Documents with QR/verification link embedded. DigiLocker

8) Download or share
Tap Download PDF for admissions/HR. Use Share to send a secure link or upload directly where portals allow DigiLocker pull.

9) If “No record found” or mismatch appears

• Recheck year/board/class and your roll number (leading zeros).

• Try the board’s dedicated flow (e.g., CBSE repository page).

• If a state board offers a separate verification portal (e.g., Maharashtra eMarkSheet), confirm your details there. cbse.digitallocker.gov.in+1

10) Still stuck? Raise a support ticket
Open DigiLocker Support → submit ticket with screenshots and your details; you’ll get a ticket number. For board-data issues, write to the Board with your admit card copy. support.digilocker.gov.in

❓ FAQs

1) Are DigiLocker marksheets accepted by colleges, employers, and passport offices?
Yes—DigiLocker issues verifiable documents from the original issuer (CBSE/State Board). The PDF includes QR/verification metadata. Always check the institution’s instructions; most Indian portals accept DigiLocker documents. (See DigiLocker – MeitY overview.) DigiLocker

2) My CBSE result is out—how do I get the access code?
CBSE instructs schools to provide a six-digit access code for students to activate their DigiLocker and fetch documents at result time. Ask your school if you didn’t receive it. CBSE+1

3) I finished school before 2017 (CBSE). Will I find my certificates?
CBSE digital documents are available 2017 onwards in DigiLocker. For earlier years, contact your school/CBSE regional office for reissue/attestation. cbse.digitallocker.gov.in

4) I don’t have Aadhaar or it’s not linked. Can I still use DigiLocker?
Yes. You can create and use DigiLocker with just a mobile number. Linking Aadhaar later can make issuer fetch smoother but isn’t mandatory. nad.digilocker.gov.in

5) I’m from a State Board (not CBSE). Can I still fetch?
Many state boards are onboard; search for your board under Issuers. Example: Maharashtra SSC/HSC is supported; the state also has eMarkSheet for verification. DigiLocker+1

6) The PDF downloaded but verification failed on a portal. What now?
Re-download from Issued Documents (not from “Uploaded”). Ensure it’s the issuer-pushed doc. If an external portal still fails, attach the QR verification page or contact their helpdesk.

7) Can I share a link instead of sending PDFs around?
Yes. Use Share in DigiLocker to generate a shareable link/consent-based pull where supported.

8) The name/DOB is wrong in the certificate. Can DigiLocker fix it?
No. DigiLocker reflects issuer records. You’ll need to correct at the Board first; the corrected document will then appear.
