digital life certificate
Every year, as November approaches, the worry of submitting life certificate increases for elderly pensioners. Earlier they had to make rounds of banks, government offices or pension departments. Long queues, hassles with documents and travel problems were very tiring for the elderly. But now UIDAI (Aadhaar issuing body) has made this entire process very easy. Now pensioners can prepare Digital Life Certificate (DLC) sitting at their own home, using only their mobile phones.
The process will be easy to complete with two apps
UIDAI has said that now pensioners have to get their digital life certificate made with the help of only two mobile apps, AadhaarFaceRD app (for face authentication) and JeevanPramaan app (for generating life certificate).
Both the apps are easily downloaded on Android mobiles, and the process is so simple that even the elderly can do it on their own or with a little help from a family member.
Step 1: Perform face authentication
For face authentication, AadhaarFaceRD app is downloaded first. This app confirms your identity by matching your face with the Aadhaar database. This process is completely secure and does not require any kind of OTP or fingerprint.
Step 2: JeevanPramaan App
After completion of face authentication, pensioners have to open the JeevanPramaan app. Here some basic information like Aadhaar number, pension type, bank details and mobile number have to be filled. An OTP will come on the same number, after entering which the app will ask for permission to scan your face again. As soon as this process is completed, the app generates a digital life certificate for you.
Pensioners can now generate Digital Life Certificate by just doing their face authentication. Fast, convenient and completely digital!

As soon as you press the submit button, your life certificate is ready and stored in the government system and you get a copy of it on your mobile and email. The entire process is completely paperless, hassle-free, and 100% digital. That means no queue, no form, no need to go to the bank.
