The title. I’ve passed my lmv test yesterday and I had passed the 2 wheeler a few days ago and recieved the licence but had to surrender it yesterday.

I’ve heard you can access those on digi locker but I’d like to make sure before I take the car for a ride.

I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear. What I meant was yesterday was my car driving test, and I had already passed my 2 wheeler a few days ago.

So i have both and just wanted to confirm it was legal to do so. Thank you for the clarification!

See as per rule they have to upload the results & system will get it in place that you have lmv lic

But it is not approved
Then you have to wait

As i said you can check it in vahan website or digilocker

If lmv is available then its legal else it is a grey area

Sorry to bug you again but I can’t seem to find the option to download my driver’s licence🫠

I’ve gone to parivahhan portal as well as digilocker. Do you know how to download it?

For digilocker

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

Log in or Sign up: If you don’t have a DigiLocker account, you can sign up using your Aadhaar number or mobile number. 

Navigate to Issued Documents: Once logged in, go to the “Issued Documents” or “Documents” section. 

Find your DL: Locate the “Driving License” option from the list of issued documents. 

Enter Details: You may need to enter your DL number and the issuing authority to access the document. 

Download as PDF: Select the DL and download it as a PDF file. 

Access and Share: You can then access and share your downloaded DL from your device.
