Anyone aged 18 or over can kick-start the application process for a driving licence online. The journey begins at the sarathi.parivahan.gov.in website, the dedicated platform for such applications.

After you’ve entered your Aadhaar particulars and mobile number, a One-Time Password (OTP) will be forwarded to you to verify your details. Following a successful validation, you’ll be prompted to acknowledge the terms and conditions by ticking the appropriate box and proceed to select your preferred mode of payment.
