What is a Driving Licence?
A Driving Licence (DL) in India is an official document issued by the Regional Transport Office (RTO) authorizing individuals to operate motor vehicles. It confirms that the holder has the necessary skills and legal permission to drive.
There are multiple types of driving licences in India based on vehicle class – two-wheelers, four-wheelers, transport vehicles, and more.
