The VFS Docswallet solution, aims to create and enable an inclusive eco-system comprising of educational institutions, chambers of commerce, banks, citizens and governments to request, authenticate, store and share the e-attested documents to all participating stakeholders with a click of a button. VFS Docswallet Digital Locker has created the world’s first digital document bank based on blockchain technology. The solution promises to revolutionise the way official documents are managed, and to significantly enhance the user experience by making the process very easy to do. The new process uses digital stamps, automated workflows and, with the assurance of highest security for preventing falsification and adulteration of any document through the use of blockchain technology.A citizen / resident desiring to use this service will sign-up and create a digital document wallet for storing all official documents, which would be digitally certified (Apostilled), by the relevant officials and can be shared by the citizen, securely and digitally any where in the world.

Every formal transaction a citizen undertakes involves an elaborate process of physical document issue, verification and submission collectively called “paperwork”, which comes with its own difficulties. Citizens lose a lot of time and effort first in getting their documents and then having them authenticated or verified by third parties. Issuing authorities have to manage huge repositories of papers and are quite at sea when it comes to authenticating or verifying documents submitted to them officially. As the internet opens up possibilities of location-independent and instantaneous transactions, a secure online document issue and authentication system can completely transform the age-old process of paperwork and make it more secure, smooth, efficient and easy.Myeasydocs.com (Currently Docwallet) is an IIT Madras inspired and supported company that provides a secure online document verification and authentication portal facilitating the document issuer, document owner and a document user to be in a single web 2.0 ecosystem enabling faster, cost-effective and efficient verification and authentication of documents. Docswallet enables users to get digitally certified copies of documents in Blockchain from their official sources, store and organise them in a locker, and submit them as required. The introduction of the Docswallet ‘Digital authentication programme’ is as much about protecting the privacy of alumni and users as it is about strengthening the integrity of the verification or authentication process.
