DigiLocker and mParivahan can present electronic driving-licence and RC records sourced through authorised systems. A valid digital document is more trustworthy than a photo of a card, but acceptance, connectivity and record status should still be considered.
Who this guide is for
Use this guide to retrieve and present your own digital DL or RC safely.
Before you start

Common problems and practical fixes
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Document not found | Check record details and issuer availability; the RTO may need to correct or migrate the record. |
| Name mismatch | Resolve the source-record discrepancy rather than editing a screenshot. |
| Fake app requested payment | Remove it and use the official store listing or website. |
Safety and privacy checks
Never share an app OTP or account password. A screenshot may reveal QR codes and personal identifiers.
- Type or bookmark the official address instead of trusting an advertisement or unsolicited message.
- Do not share passwords, OTPs, UPI PINs or card credentials with an agent or with Parivaahan.org.
- Save the official acknowledgement or receipt, but keep personal documents out of public comments and emails.
