Privacy and about

About this guide

It does not submit applications, book appointments or decide eligibility. The official authority decides what it accepts.

The site needs an internet connection. It does not work offline.

Independent guide. Not a government website and not connected to any government department.

What we never ask for

• No account or login.
• No name, phone number, email, Aadhaar number, passport number or other ID numbers.
• No document uploads, bank details, precise location or contacts.

What is saved, and where

This site saves only the following, and only in this browser on this device (browser local storage):

• Your preferences: the language and the state or union territory you chose.
• For each checklist you open: your answers to its questions and the items you ticked.
• If you use the document check: which everyday documents you said you have (for example “Aadhaar card”), never their numbers or copies.

They are not sent to us. Another phone or browser will not see them. Clearing your browser data also removes them.

When a checklist's content is updated, your saved answers and ticks for the older version are deleted, because they no longer match.

Links on this site contain only the service name, never your answers. If you choose “Share on WhatsApp”, the message you send is the list itself; nothing is sent to us.

What you type into search is not saved and is not put in the page address.

On this browser now: preferences saved; saved checklists: 0.

Printing and downloads

Printed pages and downloaded text files are made in your browser and include your answers and ticks. They are not uploaded anywhere. Keep or delete them as you would any personal paper.

Links to official websites

Official links open the government website in a new tab. This site does not add your answers to the link and asks your browser not to send this page's address. The official website will see your visit and has its own privacy policy.

No tracking, no cookies

No advertising, tracking pixels, cookies or chat widgets. To see which pages are useful, we count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics. It uses no cookies, does not follow you across other sites, and records only page views with basic details such as country, device type and the page address. It never sees your answers, ticks or documents.

Hosting

This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. To deliver and protect the site, Cloudflare processes technical details of each visit, such as IP address, time, browser type and the page address, under its own privacy policy. Page addresses show which service page was opened (for example /ap/pan-card), never your answers or ticks.

Using this guide

DocumentSaathi is an independent, free information guide. It is not a government website and is not connected to any government department.

Checklists are prepared from official sources, with the source and the date it was checked shown on each one. Requirements and fees can change and offices decide what they accept, so always confirm on the official website or at the office before you apply.

The guide is information only, not legal advice. We are not responsible for decisions made by any office, or for losses from relying on this guide instead of the official sources.
