A DigiPin is a unique 10-character digital address for a precise 4x4 meter location in India. It was developed by the Department of Posts to provide a more accurate and easy-to-share alternative to traditional postal addresses.

How is a DigiPin different from a regular PIN Code?

A traditional 6-digit PIN Code covers a large postal zone, like an entire neighborhood. A DigiPin, however, is hyper-specific and identifies a tiny 4x4 meter square, making it far more accurate for navigation and deliveries.

How can I generate a DigiPin for a specific location?

Visit digipinindia.in and simply click on any point on the interactive map. The unique DigiPin for that exact spot will be generated instantly. You can also use the search bar to find a location by its address first.

How do I find the DigiPin for my current location?

On the digipinindia.in website, allow browser access to your location. The site will automatically detect where you are and display your current DigiPin. For the best accuracy, ensure your device's GPS is on.

How do I use a DigiPin to get directions?

Does DigiPin store my personal data?

Will DigiPin replace the traditional postal address system?

How can I get separate DigiPins for different entrances or apartments in the same building?

Just click on the exact spot for 'Entrance A' to get one pin, then click on 'Entrance B' or a specific apartment door to get another. This provides unparalleled precision for deliveries and visitors.

Why can't my friend find the location from the DigiPin I sent?

The most common reason is a simple typo. Please double-check that the 10-character code was copied and pasted correctly, without any extra spaces. If the code is correct, ensure your friend is entering it on the digipinindia.in website to see the location.

Does DigiPin work offline without an internet connection?

You need an internet connection to initially visit our website and generate or look up a DigiPin. However, once you have the 10-character code, it requires no data to share.

Is sharing my DigiPin safe? Does it reveal my personal information?
