Driving Licence (DL)
Apply for a Learner's Licence, permanent Driving Licence, or DL renewal via the Parivahan Sewa portal.
What this service is
A Driving Licence is issued by the Regional Transport Office (RTO) under the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways and is mandatory to drive a motor vehicle in India.
Who can apply
Any Indian citizen who meets the minimum age for the vehicle class (16+ for gearless two-wheelers up to 50cc, 18+ for other private vehicles).
Documents required
- Aadhaar card.
- Proof of age and address.
- Learner's Licence (for permanent DL).
- Recent passport-size photograph.
- Medical certificate (Form 1 / 1-A) where required.
Step-by-step process
- We register you on the Parivahan Sewa portal.
- Fill Form 2 for Learner's Licence and book an RTO slot for the online test.
- After the mandatory waiting period, book a driving test slot for the permanent licence.
- Attend the RTO test — the smart-card DL is dispatched after successful clearance.

Learner's Licence: usually the same or next day. Permanent Driving Licence: 2–3 weeks as an estimate after passing the driving test.
