About the Maharashtra MahaSarathi Maha ID

  1. The official MahaSarathi portal describes Maha ID as a unique, unified identity intended to help Maharashtra citizens access connected government services through one citizen profile.

People commonly search for a “Maha ID Card.” The current Citizen User Manual uses the label MahaSarathi Card for the card available after login under Profile > Quick Actions. This guide keeps both search terms visible while preserving the official label.

This is an independent information website. It does not create Maha IDs, accept applications, collect Aadhaar or OTP data, or represent the Government of Maharashtra. Process details are published only when a page-level source record shows what was checked and when.

Consent control

The portal documentation says citizens can review and revoke data-sharing consent in Consent Management.

Registration flow in the current Citizen User Manual

This is an editorial summary, not an application form. Confirm the live labels on the official portal before entering personal information.

  1. Start Aadhaar eKYC

    On the official portal, choose Create your MahaID, enter Aadhaar after reviewing the consent, request the linked-mobile OTP and verify it.

    • Official portal only
    • Read the Aadhaar consent
    • Never enter Aadhaar or OTP on this website

  2. Review consent and verify contact details

    The manual then shows a data-consent form, alternate mobile number and email, followed by verification of the alternate number.

    • Review before accepting
    • Use details you control
    • Wait for the portal confirmation

  3. Use the documented login and card path

    Citizen Login accepts Aadhaar ID or MahaID and then OTP. The manual shows MahaSarathi Card under Profile > Quick Actions.

    • Do not assume mobile-number login
    • Do not assume PDF format
    • DigiLocker fetch is a separate optional flow

Your complete Maha ID guide

Everything you need to register, log in, download your Maha ID Card and use DigiLocker — explained step by step. Each card opens a full guide on this site, and the official government link is always placed at the end of that guide.

How to register for Maha ID

Maha ID registration is free and is completed on the official MahaSarathi portal. You can begin with your Aadhaar Number or a Virtual ID (VID). With your consent, the portal runs Aadhaar eKYC and sends a one-time password (OTP) to the mobile number linked with your Aadhaar so it can verify you.

If you prefer not to use Aadhaar, a Ration Card based registration route is also available. Once your details are verified you create a User ID and a password, which you will use to sign in later. If you would rather get help in person, a Maha e-Seva Kendra / Aaple Sarkar Seva (Suvidha / Setu) centre can assist you.

How to log in to Maha ID

To sign in, open MahaSarathi Citizen Login and enter your Maha ID or your Aadhaar Number together with the password you set during registration. If you have forgotten it, use the Forgot Password option to reset your password safely.

Your Maha ID also works with MahaDBT 2.0, where you can log in using your Maha ID, using your Aadhaar, or without a Maha ID.

How to download your Maha ID Card

After you log in, open your citizen Profile and, under Quick Actions, download your MahaSarathi Card (Maha ID Card) as a PDF and save it to your device.

The same card can also be kept in DigiLocker, so you always have an official copy on your phone alongside your other verified documents.

Family ID and DigiLocker

The MahaSarathi Family ID is integrated with DigiLocker, the Government of India document wallet. Using DigiLocker you can fetch an existing Family ID credential, or enrol a new one after giving your consent.

A credential kept in DigiLocker is legally valid as per the Government of India, so it can be used in place of the original document.

Your consent and privacy

Aadhaar authentication for these services is voluntary, in line with the relevant Government notification. Your Aadhaar is used only after you give consent.

You can review or revoke your data-sharing consent in the portal's Consent Management, and you should manage these settings only on the official portal.
