When it comes to driving licenses in India, there is a certain procedure that needs to be followed. The various RTO’s and Transport Department’s in the country have set rules and regulations that need to be follows by all applicants in the country. After filling out the correct forms and submitting the correct documentation, applicants are required to give a driving licence test. Once the test is cleared, the applicant must wait for the RTO to issue the driving licence. In this time, the applicant is free to check the status of the driving licence. The RTO in every state advises applicants to only check the status of their driving licences after the initial processes are complete and the verification process has been cleared. From the time of the applicant passing the driving licence test, the RTO takes about two weeks to dispatch the driving licence. It takes another two weeks approximately for the driving licence to reach the registered address of the applicant. However, it makes no sense for the applicant to check the status of the before those initial two weeks as there would be no information on the websites. The status can be checked either through the official website of the Transport Department of Gujarat or through the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways website called Parivahan.
