The Delhi government is planning to replace driving licenses and RCs with electronic cards. These cards will be easily printable and can be verified through DigiLocker and mParivahan apps.
The Delhi government is planning to replace the existing smart card driving license and vehicle registration certificate (RC) with their electronic cards. These electronic cards will be like Aadhar card, which can be printed out. Also, there will be an ID and QR code on the driving license and RC, which the traffic police can scan to confirm the authenticity of the documents. These can also be shown to the traffic police whenever needed through DigiLocker and mParivahan app. In the financial year 2023-24, 1.6 lakh driving licenses were issued in Delhi and 6,69,373 RCs were issued from April 2023 to May 2024.
An official of the Transport Department said that the state government is reviewing a scheme proposed by the Rajasthan government, which talks about issuing electronic licenses and RCs by eliminating the smart card system. It is worth noting that recently Transport Minister Kailash Gehlot had ordered the officials to resolve the problems arising in vehicle registration. In a meeting, Gehlot had expressed concern over the delay in the delivery of vehicle RCs. Expressing concern over vehicle dealers not giving vehicle RCs on time, Gehlot had directed the department to take action against non-compliant dealers.
Keeping RC and DL will be easy.
According to a report by Times of India, converting driving license and RC into electronic format will be very convenient for people. Applicants will be able to print these electronic documents themselves, like they print Aadhaar card. To download these, the applicant will need his driving license information such as application number, license number and date of birth. This information will be controlled through a one-time pin (OTP), which will be sent to the applicant’s registered mobile number.
Another official said that the printable PDF format of e-DL and e-RC can be downloaded from the Transport Seva Citizen Portal and its link will be sent to the applicant’s registered mobile number on Sarathi and Vahan portal. He said that the PDF of e-DL and e-RC will have a QR code, which will confirm the authenticity of the documents. Also, the latest details of e-DL and e-RC will be available on the mParivahan app.
