How to get a driving license in India?
To get a driving license in India, you need to follow these steps:
-
Obtain a Learner’s License:
The first step is to obtain a Learner’s License (LL) by applying to the Regional Transport Office (RTO) or through the online portal. You will need to pass a written test to obtain the LL.
-
Learn to Drive:
Once you have the LL, you can start learning to drive a vehicle. You must be accompanied by a licensed driver while driving on public roads.
-
Book a Driving Test:
After sufficient practice, you can book a driving test with the RTO. You will need to bring your LL, application form, and other required documents to the test center.
-
Take the Driving Test:
During the driving test, you will be tested on your driving skills and knowledge of traffic rules and regulations.
-
Pass the Driving Test:
If you pass the driving test, you will be issued a Permanent Driving License (DL). If you fail the test, you can take it again after a certain period of time.
The required documents for obtaining a driving license in India include proof of age, such as birth certificate or school leaving certificate, proof of address, such as passport or utility bill, passport-sized photographs, and proof of LL.
