No RTO visit needed now for DL renewal and more services: MoRTH notifies Aadhar-based online process

'The Ministry shall make all the required arrangements for wide publicity through media and individual notices to make citizens aware of the requirements of Aadhaar for availing contactless services through implementing agencies.'

Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways has notified that an Aadhar-based authentication process will be used for 18 services including learner’s licence, driving licence renewal, duplicate licence and temporary vehicle registration. This will eliminate the need to visit a local RTO. The notification comes after the Union government issued a draft notification for linking a vehicle RC and driving licence to the 12-digit identification number.

“In order to provide convenient and hassle-free services to the citizen, the Ministry shall make all the required arrangements for wide publicity through media and individual notices to make citizens aware of the requirements of Aadhaar for availing contactless services through implementing agencies,” the notification from MoRTH states.

Services that can now be utilised online
