Gone are the days when updating the driving license meant long queues at RTO offices and endless paperwork. The Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has made it easier by launching a game-changing online facility that allows you to link your Aadhaar with your driving license and vehicle registration from the comfort of your own home. This digital transformation is now live on Parivahan.gov.in.
What Services Are Covered Under This New Facility?
Your vehicle registration certificate can now be updated online, eliminating the need for a physical visit to RTO offices. This includes linking your Aadhaar number and updating your mobile number for receiving official communications.
Driving License Updates
Similarly, driving license holders can now update their mobile numbers and link Aadhaar directly through the online portal. This ensures that all driving-related notifications reach you promptly.
Once you complete the update process, all official notifications, alerts, and government updates will be sent directly to your verified mobile number. This will not only boost convenience but also ensure reliable communication between authorities and citizens.
Understanding The Two-Portal System
The new Aadhaar-linked update system operates through two dedicated sections on the Parivahan.gov.in portal.
- Vahan Portal
This section handles all vehicle-related services, starting from registration certificate updates. Whether you need to update your mobile number or link your Aadhaar with your registration, Vahan is your go-to section.
