# What is the APAAR ID for students?



## Answers

### Answer by Lachlan Wilson

APAAR stands for Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry. It is a unique 12-digit ID for students, often called “One Nation, One Student ID”, introduced under the National Education Policy.

It stores a student’s academic records, certificates and credits digitally, from school to higher education, and links with DigiLocker and the Academic Bank of Credits. The idea is to make it easier to change schools, colleges or courses without losing records. Creating an APAAR ID requires parental consent for minors, and schools are helping students register.
