Many students who have applied for an APAAR ID are confused about where and how to download it. The most reliable and commonly used platform for downloading the APAAR ID is DigiLocker. However, several students report that their APAAR ID or college-related documents are not visible on DigiLocker even after registration. This has raised concerns, especially among students who need the document urgently for academic or official purposes.
An APAAR ID (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry ID) is a unique digital identity created for students under the new education policy. Its main purpose is to digitally store a student’s complete academic record—such as school certificates, degrees, and credits—in one place. The APAAR ID is generated online, usually with the help of schools or colleges, and is expected to become mandatory for students so that their educational records can be accessed easily whenever required.
To download your APAAR ID from DigiLocker, you first need to install the app on your mobile phone or access it through the website. After creating an account using your Aadhaar details and setting a security PIN, go to the search option within the app. Here, type “APAAR ID” or “Academic Bank of Credits.” You will then be asked to enter some basic details. Once the information is verified, click on “Get Document.” As soon as your APAAR ID is fetched, you will see the option to download it and save it as a PDF file for future use.
If your APAAR ID is not available on DigiLocker, you can also download it through the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) portal. By visiting the official ABC platform, students can log in and find the option to download and print their APAAR ID directly, even without using DigiLocker.
In some cases, students may find that their APAAR ID is not visible on either DigiLocker or the ABC portal. Such issues have been widely discussed by students on online platforms like Reddit. If this happens, the best solution is to contact your school, college, or university administration. Since APAAR IDs are generated with institutional support, the concerned institution can help resolve data issues or guide you through the correct process to obtain your APAAR ID.
