The Third Step
Obtaining the Learner's License :
If the candidate passes the oral test on the Rules of The
Road Regulations, he is required to collect his Learner's
License from the office of the Regional
Transport Officer(RTO).
The Learner's License allows you to drive the vehicle you
have applied for, but only with someone beside you, who
is a license holder.
The
sign 'L' should definitely be painted on the back and front
of the vehicle in red to alert other road users.
 Period
of Learner's License :
This learner's license is valid for a period of 6
months after which another application
would be needed. The permanent license can be obtained after
a period of 1 month of having acquired the learner's license,
if the applicant so wishes.
Once you have obtained a Learner's License the next Step
is
Applying
for a Permanent Driver's License
Way to the Permanent License :
The required Fees :
Rs.60 for one category of vehicle.
Rs.15 for additional categories.
Rs. 55 for additional endorsement in existing license.
The Final Step
The candidate must make sure he is well versed in driving
by now and is ready for a test drive.
The following documents are needed at this stage :
1. Form
4
2. Original
Driver's License
3. Three Stamp size photographs
At the time of getting the Permanent License, the applicant
must bring along with him/her the category of vehicle for
which he has applied for license.
The next step is a driving test by an expert who is the
final arbiter in this respect. A pass here means that the
form will be stamped "Test Passed" and directed
for Permanent Driving License
to the License Issuing Authority. For obtaining the laminated
Driving License, the applicant will have to present himself/herself
at the concerned RTO's office on the day specified by the
AASI for the purpose.
