18 services which do not require going to RTO office any more
-A notification was issued by the Centre that people do not need to go to RTO office any longer as certain services will now be Aadhar authenticated.
-The services can be availed in the comfort of home.
A notification was issued by the centre on Wednesday that 18 services which require going to the RTO office can now be availed in the comfort of homes. One does not need to go to the RTO office as these services can be availed through Aadhar-based authentication.
Specific services like issuing a learner’s license, getting a duplicate license and renewal of driving license can also be done at home. The applicants merely need to keep their Aadhar card handy as 18 services have now been moved online. This development has come after the Union government issued a draft notification for linking the driving license and the Registration certificate (RC) with the Aadhar card.
This move will reduce the footfall in RTO offices and is likely to increase the efficiency of the RTO offices. Citizens will be free from the burden of making rounds of RTO office.
These 18 services which can be availed via Aadhar authentication are:
- 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
- Surrender of class of vehicle from license
- Application for temporary registration of motor vehicle
- Application for registration of motor vehicle with fully built body
- Application for issue of duplicate certificate of registration
- Application for grant of NOC for certificate of registration
- Notice of transfer of ownership of motor vehicle
