Waiting for your Driving Licence? Here’s how to track it in under 2 minutes.

Whether you’ve applied for a new driving licence, a renewal, or a duplicate DL, there’s no need to visit the RTO or make phone calls. The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) now offers a fully online system to check your DL application status — available anytime, anywhere.

Let’s break it down in simple steps.

2. Click on “Online Services” → “Driving Licence Related Services”
3. Select your State from the dropdown
4. Click on “Application Status”
5. Enter the following details:
   • Your 15-digit Application Number
   • Date of Birth
   • Captcha Code

You’ll now see your current DL status, including:
