If you have a hectic schedule, you might end up missing out on the expiry date of your driving licence. Such an eventuality could lead to legal consequences, including fines and prison time. Therefore, it is crucial that you renew your driving license well before it expires. You can renew your DL both online and offline. Here’s how.

  • Enter the required details such as DL number and date of birth before clicking on “Proceed”
  • Take a printout of the acknowledgement slip for future reference

Offline mode

If you wish to renew your driving license offline, visit your nearest zonal office. Ask for Form 9 and fill in the required details such as your name, DL number, etc. Sign the form and submit it along with relevant documents and the applicable fee.

If you are more than 40 years old, you will also have to attach Form 1-A signed by a registered medical practitioner.

Which documents will you need?

. Form 9
. Form 1-A, if needed
. Two passport-sized photographs
