To change your name on your driving licence (DL) in India, you must follow the process set by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH).
You can apply either online through the official Parivahan Sewa portal or offline by visiting the Regional Transport Office (RTO) that issued your DL.
- You need to submit mandatory documents, including your original DL, proof of identity with the new name, and a legal document (like a Marriage Certificate or Notarized Affidavit).
- A prescribed fee, typically around ₹200, must be paid.
- In most states, a physical visit to the RTO for final document verification and biometrics is a required step.
