Aadhaar must for online renewal of DLs
New Delhi:10.02.2021
Driving licence holders and vehicle owners would need to get Aadhaar authentication to avail 16 types of online and contactless services and avoid the hassles of visiting offices of transport departments. These include obtaining learner's licence, renewal of DL, changes of address and certificate of registration, issue of international driving licence, notice of transfer and application for transfer of ownership of vehicle. According to a draft “order” by the road transport ministry, “Any individual desirous of availing various contactless services through the portal is required to undergo Aadhaar authentication. ”
This voluntary Aadhaar authentication will help the government to weed out fake documents and more than one driving licences held by individuals, which are big deterrents to road safety in India.
Another official said considering that people are opting more for contactless or online services they are hopeful of this becoming popular. The state government would be asked to make this initiative popular among people. TNN
