Around 14 crore residents of Maharashtra can now access their Mahasarathi (Family ID) on DigiLocker. India’s flagship digital document wallet under the Digital India programme has on-boarded the credential, letting citizens fetch and share their Family ID anytime it is needed for verification or to avail a service.

The integration works in both directions. Citizens can pull their existing Mahasarathi (Family ID) into DigiLocker, and — because DigiLocker is also connected to Mahasarathi as a requestor — they can even enrol for a new Family ID digitally and give consent from within the app.

Citizens can access their Mahasarathi (Family ID) on DigiLocker in four simple steps:

1. Open the DigiLocker app or visit digilocker.gov.in and sign in.

2. Go to “Issued Documents” or search “Mahasarathi / Family ID Maharashtra.”

3. Enter the required details and give consent.

4. Fetch the document — it is saved instantly to your DigiLocker account.

The Mahasarathi (Family ID) is Maharashtra’s foundational household identifier, used to deliver services and unlock government schemes and benefits. Bringing it onto DigiLocker strengthens the State’s paperless, citizen-friendly governance and cuts dependence on physical documents.

“Bringing the Mahasarathi Family ID onto DigiLocker puts a household’s gateway to welfare services in everyone’s pocket — secure, verified and always available,”

Key Benefits for Citizens

• Mahasarathi/ Family ID is a legally valid digital credential issued by the source authority
• It enables instant verification and seamless sharing when required
• It enhances ease of availing citizen-centric services and government schemes
• Residents can seamlessly manage household-related information and leverage it while applying for services offered through the Aaple Sarkar platform

As DigiLocker continues to expand its ecosystem of trusted digital credentials, integrations such as the Maharashtra Family ID contribute to a more efficient, transparent and digitally empowered governance framework, aligned with the vision of Digital India.
