"Latest APAAR ID Updates: Registration, Verification, and Modifications"

The Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR) ID is a unique 12-digit identifier assigned to students in India to digitally store and manage their academic records, including scorecards, mark sheets, degrees, diplomas, certificates, and co-curricular accomplishments. This ID serves as a permanent digital identity within the education ecosystem.

Recent Updates:

NEET UG 2025 Registration: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has clarified that the APAAR ID is not mandatory for NEET UG 2025 registrations. Candidates can register using other available identification options.
State Initiatives: The Madhya Pradesh School Education Department has accelerated the process of generating APAAR IDs for over 1.5 crore students as part of the “One Nation, One Student ID” program. Schools have been instructed to collect parental consent to facilitate registration and verify student details through Aadhaar cards.

Obtaining and Updating APAAR ID:

Verification: Visit your school to verify demographic details.
Parental Consent: If you’re a minor, obtain parental consent.
Authentication: Authenticate your identity through the school.
ID Creation: Upon successful verification, the APAAR ID is created and added to your DigiLocker account for secure online access.

To update or make changes to your APAAR ID, first update your Aadhaar card information. Then, log in to your DigiLocker account, navigate to the “Issued Documents” section, locate your APAAR ID, and use the “Refresh” option to sync the updated information. Changes should reflect within 2-3 days.
