Renewal checklist

Documents you need to renew your Driving Licence

01

Existing driving licence

Original licence.

02

Address and ID proof

Aadhaar or other accepted proof.

03

Passport size photo

As asked by the portal.

04

Medical certificate (Form 1A)

Needed for certain age groups and commercial licences.

Before you file

  • Driving on an expired licence is an offence, and renewing after a long gap can be harder.
  • Start at least 30 days before the expiry date so a rejected form does not push you past it.
  • Requirements and fees can differ by state or city. Confirm the final list on the official site or with the issuing office.
  • Keep clear PDF or JPG scans of every document ready before you begin.
