Applying for a driving license? You can get driving license in India through offline and online methods. However, given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, an online process seems to be the most logical way forward at the moment. It also makes things easier as you don’t have to queue or go to a government office in person to start the application process. Driving licenses in India are issued by state governments. Many states in the country have prepared online processes. The central government also recently created the Parivahan Sarathi portal to help citizens easily apply for driving license online.
In this article, we provide a step-by-step guide to help you apply for a driving license online.
