        abstract = {In India, over 5 crore undocumented individuals face significant challenges due to the lack of a reliable digital identity. This paper proposes a comprehensive solution leveraging advanced authentication methods and blockchain technology. Our user-centric approach includes registration on a secure portal and meticulous authentication, incorporating mobile authentication and selfie verification. Manual validation ensures authenticity, while blockchain integration provides decentralized storage, enhancing security. Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) bolster privacy, allowing users to control their identity information. The user-friendly portal features sections for registration, application submission, and verification. Administrators access a dashboard for efficient validation. Upon validation, users receive secure digital identity documents with unique QR codes for rapid verification. Challenges like streamlining validation and service provider integration are addressed. Future research will enhance fraud detection and partnerships. Our solution aims to empower undocumented individuals in India by providing a secure gateway to essential services and economic opportunities, thereby fostering inclusivity and equity.},
