One Nation, One Driving License: Uniform Smart Driving Licenses across India in 2019: Here’s what changes for you
Monday, October 15, 2018 IST
The Indian government plans to roll out uniform smart driving license and vehicle's registration certificates across the country. Across the country, the format, colour, design of DLs will be the same and will also be embedded with microchips and QR codes.
Different states and UTs issuing its own driving licenses in its own format has created some chaos for the government and traffic police. New data shows that over 25% of Indians hold more than one driving licenses and while the Government has not made it mandatory to link DL to aadhar it is working on issuing a uniform Driving Licenses across all States and Union Territories (UTs) says a Times of India report.
As early as July 2019, all new Driving Licenses (DL) issued by RTOs across the country will carry the same uniform look which means, same format, same colour, same design and same security features. All new DLs will also be embedded with a SIM card like microchip and QR codes. The report also suggests that like in metro cards, all new DLs near-field communication (NFC) feature that will enable traffic cops to access the details easily. New smart driving licenses will feature the National and State emblems along with the name of issuing authority. It will also state the blood group and declaration for organ donation. Other details like on the current DLs will stay as it is including the mention of license is valid for which category of vehicles.
This new uniform change will not just be on new and learners license. All the renewed license will have this new look and so will vehicle's registration certificates (RCs). With the new BS-VI norms coming in, the RC will clearly have to mention its chassis number and emission norm (BS-IV/BS-VI) clearly on the RC.
