Track Driving Licence Status Online

Tracking your Driving Licence (DL) application status online is straightforward through the Sarathi Parivahan portal. The Sarathi system is the centralised database maintained by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) that manages all driving licence-related services across India. Whether you have applied for a new Learning Licence (LL), permanent Driving Licence, DL renewal, duplicate DL, or an International Driving Permit, you can track the status of your application online.

The Sarathi Parivahan portal provides real-time status updates for all DL-related applications. Once you submit your application at the RTO, the details are entered into the Sarathi system, and you can track the progress of your application from submission to dispatch. The system shows various status stages such as "Under Processing," "Approved," "Printed," and "Dispatched."

It is important to note that the application status may take a few days to reflect online after submission, as the RTO needs to process and upload the data to the central Sarathi database. Typically, you should wait at least 3-5 working days after your application before checking the status online.

Follow these detailed steps to track your Driving Licence application status online:

1. Visit Sarathi Parivahan: Go to parivahan.gov.in and click on "Sarathi Services" or directly visit the Sarathi portal.
2. Select Your State: Choose your state from the dropdown menu on the Sarathi portal homepage. This ensures you are checking the correct regional database for your application.
3. Click on "Application Status": Look for the "Application Status" or "Track Application" link in the menu. This will take you to the status tracking page.
4. Enter Application Number: Type your application number (also known as SARATHI number) that was provided to you when you submitted your application at the RTO. This number is usually printed on your application receipt.
5. Enter Date of Birth: You may also need to enter your date of birth as an additional verification step to confirm your identity.
6. View Status: Click on "Submit" to view your application status. The system will display the current status of your DL application along with any remarks or instructions from the RTO.

When you check your DL application status, you will see one of several status stages. Understanding what each stage means will help you know where your application stands and what to expect next:

You can also check your DL status through the mParivahan mobile app. This is convenient for checking on the go without needing a computer. The app provides the same information as the Sarathi website. Here is how:

2. Login: Sign in with your registered mobile number and OTP. If you have not registered yet, create an account first.
3. Add Your DL: Tap on "Add DL" and enter your Driving Licence number. The app will fetch your DL details from the Sarathi database.
4. View Status: Your DL status will be displayed in the app along with your digital DL copy, QR code for verification, and other details.
5. Check Application Status: If you have recently applied, navigate to the "Application Status" section within the app and enter your application number to track the progress.
