Last updated: 8 Aug 2026

Quick answer

Verify an existing driving licence using Parivahan's 'Know Your Licence Details' service — enter the DL number and date of birth to confirm the holder, vehicle class and validity. To track a new application instead, use the driving licence status guide.

For your security, status can only be checked on the official government portal. RapidCheck never asks for your personal details — use the official link below.
