No more worrying about a lost or damaged Bihar Board marksheet. BSEB has uploaded Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets and certificates for 2026 onto DigiLocker, and they carry the same legal validity as the original. Here’s exactly how to pull yours in a few minutes.
What’s actually available
BSEB Chairman Tyagarajan S.M. announced that Class 10 (Matric) and Class 12 (Intermediate) marksheets and certificates for 2026 are now issued on DigiLocker. He also said documents from examinations conducted earlier in 2026 will be added soon — so if yours isn’t there yet, it’s likely on the way.
Is it as valid as the paper copy?
What you need before you start
How to download your marksheet

Why this actually matters
- No more panic over a lost original — a legally valid copy lives permanently in your DigiLocker account.
- Faster admissions and job verification — colleges, scholarship portals and employers can verify instantly instead of waiting for physical attestation.

- Free and available anytime — no visiting the school or BSEB office for a duplicate.
What to do right now

- Also save a PDF copy on your phone or email as backup, in case you lose access to your DigiLocker account.

Quick answers
Is my Bihar Board marksheet really on DigiLocker now?
If you appeared in the 2026 Class 10 or 12 exams, it should be. BSEB announced this on 29 September 2026. Documents from exams held earlier in 2026 are being added progressively.
What do I need to download it?
Your Roll Code, Roll Number, the exam year (2026), and a registered mobile number to sign in to DigiLocker.
Is the DigiLocker copy legally valid?
Yes. It’s treated as equivalent to the original document under the Information Technology Act, 2000, since it’s issued directly by BSEB.
Does this apply to marksheets from before 2026?
Not yet, based on the current announcement. The Chairman said earlier-2026 exam documents will be added soon; there’s no mention yet of years before 2026.
Should I still keep my physical marksheet?
Yes. While the digital copy is legally valid, some institutions may still ask for the physical original, so keep it safe alongside your DigiLocker copy.
