Quick Facts:

• Renewing your driving license online saves you a trip to the RTO.
• Head to the Parivahan Sewa website to get started.
• Your Indian driving license is valid for 20 years or until you reach 50 years old.

A driving license is a must-have document for driving legally in India, along with your vehicle's insurance and RC. Every Indian who drives needs a valid DL, which is typically valid for 20 years or until you turn 50. The good news is that online renewal is now easily accessible.

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has made it possible to renew your driving license and access other license-related services online using Aadhaar authentication. Say goodbye to RTO visits for renewals.

What You'll Need to Renew Your DL Online:

• Your current Driving License.
• A filled Application Form No. 2.
• A self-declaration of fitness (Form No. 1 for non-transport vehicles) or a medical certificate (Form No. 1A for transport vehicles).
• Payment for the renewal fees and any applicable user charges.

Remember, you can apply for renewal up to a month before your license expires. If your license expired more than five years ago, you'll need to apply for a new one.

Renewing before expiry ensures your new license starts from the expiry date. Renewing within 30 days after expiry means your new license starts from the date your application is received, and a small late fee of ₹30 applies.
