Registered users are people who have created a DigiLocker account. The ministry says 'more than' 72.43 crore, so the true count is a little higher. Documents issued are documents that government issuers have pushed into DigiLocker accounts, which is a different count from documents opened or shared.

How we got this number

  1. Read the registered-user count from the PIB release of 12 August 2026 on UMANG and DigiLocker, which reports the Rajya Sabha reply: more than 72.43 crore registered users.
  2. Read documents issued and issuers from the PIB release of the end of July 2026: more than 936.03 crore documents issued by 2,822 onboarded issuers.
  3. Put earlier counts next to it from PIB's 1 February 2025 note (46.52 crore users), its 27 June 2026 note (over 70.69 crore users as of March 2026) and the July 2026 release (71.66 crore).

What this number does not tell you

  • The 12 August 2026 release gives 31 July 2026 as the date for the number of services, not for the user count, so the user count is dated by the release.
  • Two PIB releases within two weeks give 71.66 crore and 72.43 crore; the later one is used here.
  • Registered users are accounts, not people: some people may hold more than one account. 'Documents issued' is separate from the 72.86 crore document access transactions in the last 3 years that the ministry also reported.
