How To Check Your Driving Licence (DL) Status Online

If you’ve recently applied for a new driving licence, renewal, or a duplicate DL, you don’t have to wait in long queues at the RTO anymore.
In 2025, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has made it simple to track your driving licence status online — whether it’s under process, approved, printed, dispatched, or rejected.

This guide will help you check your DL status step-by-step using the Sarathi Parivahan portal and mParivahan app — without paying any agent.

Step-by-Step: Check DL Status on Sarathi Parivahan (2025)

Visit sarathi.parivahan.gov.in
Select your state (example: Rajasthan).
Click “Application Status” from the top menu.
Enter your Application Number (15 digits) & Date of Birth (DD/MM/YYYY).
Click Submit.
Your current status will be shown — e.g., Approved, DL Printed, Dispatched, or Pending for Approval.

Documents Needed for DL Status Check

Application Number (from your application receipt)
Date of Birth (in DD/MM/YYYY format)
Registered mobile number (only for states that require OTP verification)

What DL Status Terms Mean

Approved – DL confirmed by RTO.
Printed – DL sent for printing.
Dispatched – DL posted to your address.
Rejected – Application rejected (check remarks).
Pending at RTO – Awaiting approval or test upload.

If Your DL Is Delayed

Most DLs are dispatched within 7–21 days.
If stuck at Pending for 30+ days, visit your RTO.
File a grievance under “Contact Us” on the portal.
Check the mParivahan app — sometimes your DL is digitally issued before physical delivery.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Wrong date format (use DD/MM/YYYY).
Not selecting the correct state.
Entering Learner’s Licence number instead of Application number.
Tracking too early — wait 5–7 days after applying.

Final Word

Tracking your Driving Licence status in India is now fast, free, and paperless.
Whether it’s a new licence, renewal, or duplicate DL, you can get real-time updates in just a few clicks.
No more wasting time at the RTO — check online and stay informed.
