FAQ
Common questions
Is DigiYatra mandatory?
The official pages used here describe it as a passenger facility. They do not state a legal duty to enrol. Confirm on the DigiYatra Foundation or Ministry of Civil Aviation page before you travel.
Can I register without Aadhaar?
The Lok Sabha reply of 6 August 2026 includes driving-licence enrolment through DigiLocker, and support for English plus 11 Indian languages. Aadhaar is not described as the only route.
Does DigiYatra work on international flights?
A trial runs from November to December 2026 at seven airports, for Indian nationals with e-passports on select Air India and IndiGo flights. It does not replace immigration, and it is not in place on all international flights. That is separate from the domestic count of 39 airports.
What happens to my data?
The 6 August 2026 Lok Sabha reply says there is no central storage of a passenger’s personally identifiable information, that data is shared only for a limited time with the origin airport, and that it is purged within 24 hours of scheduled departure.
What if the face match fails?
The programme does not replace existing checks. Use the usual counter and keep your travel documents. This site cannot see your enrolment.
