The Ministry of Road and Transport Highways (MORTH) on Thursday announced that people no more need to visit the RTO office for as many as 18 services including renewal of driver’s licence, vehicle registration, etc.
These services will now be provided via the Aadhaar-authentication based contactless service. However, anyone who doesn’t wish to seek the online mode can still access these services from the RTO office.

“Certain services regarding Driving License and Certificate of Registration have been made completely online. Now these services can be availed without going to RTO. With Aadhaar authentication, on voluntary basis, anyone can get the benefit of these contactless services,” MORTH posted on their official Twitter handle.
The new development comes after the Union government issued a draft notification for linking driving licence and RC with the Aadhaar Card.

“This will reduce the compliance burden on citizens, helping them to avail these services in a hassle free, contact less manner. This will also reduce the footfall in the RTO office, which will further increase efficiency of the RTO offices as well,” ministry wrote in a separate Twitter post.
