The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) enforces strict criteria for safety. Here is the technical breakdown.
Eligibility is now tied to Aadhaar Authentication. If your Aadhaar bio-metrics or mobile link is expired, you are technically "Ineligible" for the online faceless route. Track your active details on our Driving Licence Status Guide.
To apply for a Transport Driving License, you must prove that you have held a valid LMV (Private) license for at least one continuous year. If your current license is expiring, read the DL Renewal Process Guide.
If you are applying for a commercial category or are above 40, a Medical Certificate (Form 1A) issued by a registered medical practitioner is mandatory. Vision standards and certification details are available at the DL Medical Certificate Manual.
