Learning License
A Driving Licence is an official document certifying that the holder is suitably qualified to drive a motor vehicle.
Licenses are issued by the Motor Vehicles Department through its Regional Transport Offices (RTO). An individual of 16 years of age and above (for a Non-Gear Two Wheeler up to 55 cc) and 18 years and above (for a Geared Two Wheeler and Four Wheeler) can apply for Driving Licence.
