The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, on March 4, launched the Aadhaar authentication-based contactless service for its citizens. Citizens would no longer need to visit the RTO office to renew a driving license, duplicate license, registration application, etc. The use of Aadhaar as an identity document would simplify the government delivery processes and bring in transparency and efficiency.
It would also enable applicants to get their work done directly in a seamless manner.
“Any individual desirous of availing various contactless services, through the portal, is required to undergo Aadhaar authentication,” the ministry said in its notification.
“Provided that till the time Aadhaar is assigned to the individual, benefits of contactless services shall be given to such individual subject to the production of Aadhaar Enrolment ID slip,” it further stated.
Here is the list of the contactless services for which a citizen requires to undergo Aadhaar authentication: –
- Learner’s License
- Renewal of Driving License for which test of competence to drive is not required
- Duplicate Driving License
- Change of Address in Driving License and Certificate of Registration
- Issue of International Driving Permit
