Get Driving Licence and Registration Certificate With Just An Aadhaar Card
The Uttar Pradesh government has stated that the Aadhaar card is the only document required when applying fo a driving licence or a vehicle registration certificate in the state. The announcement, which was made in August 2016, was ratified recently as a few of the RTO’s in the state refused to accept Aadhaar as proof of address and age.
The RTO’s have now been asked to display a list of documents that can be submitted as proof of age and address proof. Among the documents accepted are a voter’s ID card, pension passbook, arms licence, a Central or State government ID card and the Aadhaar card.
The recent directive states that only an Aadhaar card can suffice as documentary proof of both age and address, clarifying any doubt over the need for multiple documents, as was predominant earlier.
