Now, renewing a driving license has become easier than ever. If you live in Delhi, then you do not need to go anywhere for this. In this easy guide, learn how to do DL renewal online from home and what documents are required for the whole process.
The whole process of renewing a driving license
The process of renewing a driving license can be divided into two parts: online application and then verification at the RTO.
First of all, go to the official website of the ‘Parivahan’ service.
Select your state (eg, Delhi).
Now, click on the option of ‘Driving License Related Services’.
Here, you will see the option of DL Renewal; click on it.
A new form will open. Fill in all your information in it, such as your old license number, date of birth, and other personal details, correctly.
Fill Form 9 and Form 1.
After filling the form, pay the required fees online.
Download the receipt once the payment is successful.
Document Verification at RTO
After completing the online application, you have to visit your nearest RTO (Regional Transport Office) on a fixed date. Here, you have to submit all your original documents as well as the receipt of online payment. The RTO officer will check all your documents. If everything is found correct, your license will be renewed and you will be issued a new DL.
What documents are required for renewal
You have to keep some of the most important documents ready to get the DL renewed. You can also do e-verification using an Aadhar card, which makes the process even faster.
- Application Form 9
- Form 1 (Self-Declaration)
- Aadhaar Card/Voter ID Card or any other Government ID
- Passport Size Photo
- Original Driving License
For how long is your license renewed
The validity of a driving license is different for each type of vehicle.
A driving license for a private vehicle can be renewed for up to 5 years.
A driving license for a commercial vehicle can be renewed for up to 3 years.
By following this entire process correctly, you can renew your license without any hassle and continue your journey.
