how do you renew your driving licence

You renew your driving licence (DL) by applying either online through the official Parivahan portal (sarathi.parivahan.gov.in) or offline at your local RTO. Renewal can be initiated up to one year before or after the DL's expiry date. The process generally requires:

• Submission of Form 9 (Application for Renewal).
• Copies of your recent passport size photograph.
• The original Driving Licence.
• A valid Medical Certificate (Form 1A) if you hold a commercial licence or are over 40 years of age.
