Say Goodbye to traditional PIN Codes – Create your own DIGIPIN promising more accuracy

No more calls asking, “Where exactly is your house?” Those days are over. This is the magic of DIGIPIN. Yes, the Department of Posts, Government of India, has developed DIGIPIN – a system that allows every individual to generate a unique digital address for their home or office.

With DIGIPIN, the exact location of your house or office can be pinpointed. You no longer need to ask or explain your address. Once you generate your DIGIPIN, you won’t even need to write the traditional postal PIN code in your address anymore. This 10-character alphanumeric code will provide precise location data for your property.

What is DIGIPIN?

To eliminate the hassle of address finding and delivery errors, the Indian government has developed this digital address system. Its main goal is to ensure that deliveries and services reach the right location quickly and accurately. It’s a 10-digit alphanumeric code that identifies your exact geo-location.

Until now, PIN codes covered large geographical areas, often making it difficult to identify the exact property. With DIGIPIN, the specific location of a house or office can now be easily identified – with pinpoint accuracy.

How to generate DIGIPIN

You can visit the official government portal https://dac.indiapost.gov.in/myDIGIPIN  and generate your unique DIGIPIN by marking the exact location of your house or office on a digital map. Once generated you can send it to your friends and family, who will get the exact location.
