Driving without a licence can impose heavy penalties for drivers all across the globe. Thus, it is a mandate and getting a driving licence is quite a lengthy process and challenging for new drivers. Here is step-by-step guidance for individuals who have already applied for a DL and want to check their driving licence application status in Assam.

The Motor Vehicle Act, 1988, has made it mandatory for all vehicles registered under the Assam RTO to get a vehicle insurance policy. In Assam, driving any vehicle without a driving licence is illegal. Therefore, each driver should get their licence once they turn 18, and the Regional Transport Authority of Assam has taken the responsibility of issuing the driving licences in the state.

You can check your driving licence Assam application status offline as well. The procedure is as follows:

Step 1: Visit their nearest Regional Transport Office (RTO) in Assam or can visit the same RTO where you took your driving licence test.

Step 2: You must then provide the necessary information to the concerned authorities. This information would include the Date of Birth and Application number, and it will help to know the application status of the Assam driving licence. You might also have to provide the 'Learner Licence Number'.

Since it takes at least two weeks for the RTO where you applied for a driving licence to issue one, you can only access information about the application during that time.

As a result, there won't be any results if you check the status a day following the test. It can take at least another week for the licence to arrive at your address after being dispatched.

About two weeks after passing the DL test, you can begin checking the status of their driving licence. However, if you are unable to locate your driving licence status even after searching for three to four weeks, you should get in touch with the RTO.

Here are a few useful tips to remember when checking for the driving licence status:

• You must ensure to complete the form correctly with accurate details to accelerate the process.
• While checking the status, you must make sure to keep all the necessary documents with you.
• After passing the driving test, an RTO typically needs about 30 days to transmit the driving licence to the registered address.

Thus, to conclude, you can check your driving licence application status in Assam in both offline and online modes. Once all the documents are verified, you will get your driving licence within time. However, if you face any problems while searching for the application status, you should contact the RTO immediately.
