The Delhi government is planning to replace the existing smart card driving license and vehicle registration certificate (RC) with their electronic cards. These electronic cards will be like Aadhaar cards, which can be printed out. Also, the driving license and RC will have an ID and QR code, which the traffic police can scan to confirm the authenticity of the documents. These can also be shown to the traffic police whenever needed through DigiLocker and mParivahan apps. In the financial year 2023-24, 1.6 lakh driving licenses were issued in Delhi and 6,69,373 RCs were issued from April 2023 to May 2024.
A transport department official said that the state government is reviewing a plan proposed by the Rajasthan government, which talks about issuing electronic licenses and RCs by eliminating the smart card system. It is worth noting that recently Transport Minister Kailash Gehlot had ordered the officials to resolve the problems being faced in vehicle registration. In a meeting, Gehlot had expressed concern over the delay in the delivery of vehicle RCs. Expressing concern over vehicle dealers not giving the RC of the vehicle on time, Gehlot had directed the department to take action against non-compliant dealers.
It will be easy to keep RC and DL
According to a report by Times of India, people will be greatly facilitated by the conversion of driving license and RC into electronic format. Applicants will be able to print these electronic documents themselves, like they take out Aadhaar card. To download these, the applicant will need his driving license information such as application number, license number and date of birth. This information will be controlled through one-time pin (OTP), which will be sent to the applicant’s registered mobile number.

He said that the PDF of e-DL and e-RC will have a QR code, which will confirm the authenticity of the documents. Also, the latest details of e-DL and e-RC will be available on the mParivahan app.
