To make it simple for Indian people to get COVID-19-related information and download their immunisation certificates on the Meta-owned messaging network, the Indian government introduced the MyGov chatbot on WhatsApp back in 2020. You can now easily recover a variety of DigiLocker-based documents using the MyGov chatbot. For further information, see the details down below.
WhatsApp MyGov Chatbot Now Supports DigiLocker Services
Many people, including myself, have found the India MyGov chatbot on WhatsApp to be helpful when it comes to acquiring COVID-19 vaccination certificates on a mobile device. Other significant IDs and documents, including PAN cards, driving licences, vehicle registration certificates, class X and XII mark sheets, and insurance policy paperwork, are now accessible and downloadable. Additionally, the Indian Transport Ministry acknowledges it. Additionally, the chatbot allows you to open a new DigiLocker account.
The MyGov chatbot leverages the DigiLocker infrastructure, which supposedly has more than 100 million registered users and more than 5 billion issued and scanned papers, to retrieve the documents. Additionally, it secures the issued papers with encryption so that only the owner of the document has access to them.
According to Abhishek Singh, CEO of the MyGov service, adding Digilocker services to the MyGov Helpdesk is a logical evolution and a step toward giving citizens streamlined access to key services via WhatsApp’s user-friendly and accessible platform.
