The Andhra Pradesh Core Digital Data Authority (Effective Delivery of e-Services) Act, 2017 establishes a centralized statutory framework to streamline public service delivery across the state. It introduces a unique digital identification number called Unicore for individuals and key entities, enabling official authentication for accessing government services and benefits. The law clarifies that holding a Unicore number verifies identity but does not confer legal ownership or rights. Furthermore, it creates a Core Digital Data Repository and sets up a dedicated Authority to manage data security, governance, and administrative oversight, thereby ensuring efficient, transparent e-governance for residents.
