The ministry on Thursday, March 4,  launched the Aadhaar-based authentication contactless service under which the citizens would no longer need to visit the Regional Transport office (RTO) for the renewal of driving license, duplicate license, registration application etc. Merely, the use of Aadhar as an identification document would simplify the delivery process.

With Aadhaar authentication, on voluntary basis, anyone can get the benefit of these contactless services. Online services will also be provided for change of address on driving licence, issue of international driving permit, notice of transfer of vehicle ownership, among others.

In an official notification, the   Ministry of Road Transport Highways stated, "In order to provide convenient and hassle-free services to the citizen, the Ministry shall make all the required arrangements for wide publicity through media and individual notices to make citizens aware of the requirements of Aadhaar for availing contactless services through implementing agencies".

The services that can be availed by people online through their Aadhar authentication include availing a learner’s license, renewal of driving license, change of address in driving license, duplicate driving license, availing an international driving permit, applying for temporary registration, applying for registration, obtaining RC or surrendering the driving license to obtain a new class.
