As a case study, this document provides a framework for interoperability and mutual recognition between India’s DigiLocker platform and comparable international digital identity systems, anchored in a sovereign-to-sovereign model of digital trust. It proposes a travel-centric model designed to support international mobility, enable regulated exchange of digital credentials, and ensure privacy-preserving verification across jurisdictions. The model envisions DigiLocker and the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet ecosystem as interoperable public digital infrastructure systems, connected through mutual recognition, open standards, shared trust frameworks, and consent-based data exchange. It also serves as a broader reference model for future collaboration among sovereign digital identity ecosystems across India, the European Union, and other partner jurisdictions.
This Standard Operating Procedure has been developed by NeGD, MeitY, Government of India, as a universal reference guide for any country or government entity seeking to codevelop and implement a DigiLocker-like National Digital Document Wallet in it’s country in collaboration with DigiLocker. It draws from real-world implementation experience across multiple countries and is designed to be adapted to any national context.
