Frequently Asked Questions
What is Digi Yatra?
Digi Yatra is a Ministry of Civil Aviation, Govt. of India led initiative to make air traveller’s/ passenger’s journey seamless, hassle-free and Health-Risk-Free. The Digi Yatra process uses the single token of face biometrics to digitally validate the Identity, Travel, Health or any other data that is needed for the purpose of enabling air travel.
What is the solution based on and is my data safe?
The Solution is built on W3C standards using Self Sovereign Identity (SSI), Verifiable Credentials (VC), Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and uses a Distributed Ledger for decentralised layer of trust between the various participants of the ecosystem.
Do I have to Register for every travel?
Registration/ enrolment to the DigiYatra App is a one-time process. You don’t have to register every time you travel. For each new travel instance, simply add the new travel document and share your credentials prior to your travel.
Why can’t we process international passengers?
Processing passengers on International flights is on the roadmap of the Digi Yatra Central Ecosystem and will be taken up in a phased manner.
How about passengers with turban?
The Biometric algorithm extracts the template for a face match using certain points on the face. Wearing a turban does not impact this validation.
How do you process if I am transiting?
Entry check and other validations shall remain the same at the departing airport even if passenger is going through Transit/ Transfer at another airport.
However, passenger processing at the Transit/ Transfer airports will be taken up at a later date.
Why is only Aadhar accepted as the Govt ID?
At this time, the Digi Yatra app accepts only AADHAAR as it has been integrated, however, we plan to integrate additional government issued identity documents in the future.
The go-to-app for air travelers

Delhi airport was smooth and seamless this morning, just like it usually is. Vistara flight departed and landed on time. No lines, no hustle, no irate passengers.
