CBSE has moved migration certificates for Class X and Class XII to a fully digital format. From the 2025 board cycle onwards, migration certificates will be issued as digitally signed documents on DigiLocker. Physical certificates will no longer be issued routinely.
What this means for students
- Official, verifiable digital document: Your migration certificate will appear in your DigiLocker account as an authenticated, digitally signed PDF accepted for admissions and verification.
- Free of charge: The digital certificate is provided at no cost.
- Printed copies (optional): If you still require a physical copy, you can apply for a duplicate through CBSE’s duplicate-document procedure; processing fees may apply.
How to access your migration certificate
- Open the DigiLocker app or website and sign in (using Aadhaar, mobile number, or the school’s activation code).
- Go to Issued Documents → select CBSE → locate Migration Certificate.
- View, download, print or share the digitally signed PDF as needed for admissions or other official purposes.
Guidance for schools and parents
- Ensure every student has DigiLocker access or receives the school’s activation code.
- Inform colleges and other receiving institutions that the DigiLocker migration certificate is an official, verifiable document.
- Use the duplicate-document route only when a printed certificate is expressly required.
- Bottom line: CBSE migration certificates are now digital on DigiLocker — convenient, secure and officially verifiable. Request a printed duplicate only if absolutely necessary.
Conclusion
CBSE’s move to DigiLocker makes migration certificates faster, secure and officially verifiable — simplifying admissions and document checks. Students should ensure DigiLocker access and use the digital certificate; request a printed duplicate only when absolutely necessary.
