Driving licence services: choose your next step

Plan for learner, driving-test, renewal or correction requirements.

By Ansh Sharma · Published 9 November 2026

Before you start

A learner’s licence, a driving test and a licence renewal are separate services. Available online steps and appointment rules can vary by state and licence category. Begin on Parivahan and select the state and service that match your request.

Your preparation checklist

  1. Identify the licence service and vehicle category you need.
  2. Read your selected state’s current eligibility and evidence requirements.
  3. Check whether a medical document, test or in-person visit applies to your case.
  4. Review appointment availability and required originals before making travel plans.

Complete the next steps

Follow the relevant licence-service route, verify the application details and complete the displayed payment or booking steps. Retain the application number and receipts. For a test or appointment, reread the local instructions, including which documents and vehicle arrangements are required.

Official destination: https://parivahan.gov.in. The provider’s current instructions take precedence over this guide.

If something goes wrong

If you selected the wrong service or state, consult the portal’s correction or cancellation instructions before starting another application. Payment does not waive a test or verification requirement. Use the relevant transport authority’s contact details for unresolved status issues; this directory cannot book or approve a licence.
