What Is APAAR ID? Key Features and Benefits of the New Digital ID for School Students

The central government has decided to introduce APAAR ID (Automatic Permanent Academic Account Register ID) for students from classes 1 to 12 to streamline academic documentation and verification processes. Schools have already begun registering students for this initiative.

APAAR ID will serve as a digital repository for all academic documents, including mark sheets, certificates, and other records, benefiting students during their school years and later in their careers. It will operate similarly to DigiLocker, providing a secure and accessible platform for students’ academic information.

How To Register in APAAR?

Schools will register students using Aadhaar cards, PAN cards, or voter ID cards of the student and their parents.

Parents must provide a no-objection certificate for the registration.

Registration can be completed on the official website: apaar.education.gov.in.
