Following the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, as with a third-party motor insurance policy, it is mandatory for all vehicle owners in the country to have a valid driving license. With the driving license, vehicle owners are permitted to drive anywhere in the country. However, the process of getting a driving license can be time consuming, depending on the State one is getting the document from. However, with the Government of India promoting the digitisation drive, now vehicle owners can fill in the driving license form online and can also book a slot for the driving test as per their convenience.
In addition, if the driving license applicant has cleared the driving test, he/she can check the status of their driving license online as well. Usually, following the candidate clearing the driving test, the RTO issues the driving license within 30 days or a month.

If the vehicle owner has misplaced the RC document, he/she can check the status of the RC document online on the official website of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
