APAAR (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry) is a special ID system for all students in India. It is part of the government’s ‘One Nation, One Student ID‘ program and follows the National Education Policy of 2020.
APAAR ID is a unique 12-digit number that lets students store, manage, and access all their academic records online. This includes scorecards, mark sheets, grade sheets, degrees, diplomas, certificates, and co-curricular achievements. It serves as a permanent digital ID for students in the education system.
APAAR helps keep education fair and transparent by tracking student progress and organizing academic records. It makes things easier, prevents duplication, reduces fraud, and includes co-curricular achievements for overall growth
Benefits of APAAR:
- Helps students move between schools and institutions easily
- Provides more flexibility in academics
- Allows students to choose their own learning paths
- Recognizes and validates learning achievements
Since all credentials are stored in the APAAR ID, students don’t need to provide extra certificates. This removes the risk of losing hard copies and makes it useful for transfers, entrance exams, admissions, job applications, and skill development.
Steps to get an APAAR ID:
- Verification – Visit the school to confirm personal details.
- Parental Consent – If the student is a minor, parents need to give permission.
- Authentication – The school verifies the student’s identity.
- ID Creation – Once verified, the APAAR ID is created and added to DigiLocker for safe online access.

- UDISE+ Student ID (PEN)

How to check a student’s APAAR ID status?
Once the APAAR ID is created, it is added to the student’s DigiLocker account under the “Issued Documents” section. Students can also check the status on the UDISE+ Portal in the APAAR Module, which lists student IDs. They can also ask their school to check the status for them.
