A new online platform has been launched by the Assam government to make the process of obtaining a vehicle registration certificate and driving license hassle-free.
Transport Secretary Adil Khan said a new system has been introduced for issuance of QR (Quick Response) code-based registration certificates and driving licence cards, replacing the obsolete chip-based smart cards.
He stated that it was implemented in accordance with a notification issued by the Union Ministry of Road Transport.
“There will be no multiple visits to DTO offices to submit papers, pay fees, and get the printed Driving License/RCs,” Khan explained.
Khan further stated that after passing the driving test, the person does not need to visit the DTO to receive the licence since “the process of printing will be done at remote centralised sites and the same would be supplied by post within 3-5 days.”
“The benefits of the QR code embossed driving licence are that any traffic or law enforcement agency can simply check the antecedents of a card holder by scanning the QR code with a mobile phone, and there is no chance of duplication,” he explained.
