DRIVING LICENSE DOWNLOAD

A Driving Licence (DL) is an official document issued by the Regional Transport Office (RTO) of INDIA under the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), Government of India. It authorises a person to legally drive motor vehicles (two-wheeler, four-wheeler, commercial vehicle, etc.) on Indian roads.

  • It serves as identity proof and is valid across India.
  • Having a DL is mandatory to drive; driving without one is a punishable offense.
