Highlighted Information

Verify the authenticity and current status of any Indian driving licence on the Parivahan Sewa portal.

Short Information

Parivahan Sewa is the unified digital backbone of India's Road Transport Authorities, operated by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. The Sarathi sub-system handles all driving licence (DL) workflows — learner's licence, permanent DL, renewal, change of address, hazardous-cargo endorsements — across every State and Union Territory Regional Transport Office (RTO). Verifiers (employers, vehicle rental firms, insurance companies) can confirm whether a DL number is currently valid, the issuing RTO, the vehicle classes endorsed, and the validity period. Each DL also carries a QR code that, when scanned, returns identical authentication data without revealing the holder's full demographic record.
