Driving licences in Bihar, as in every state, run through the national Sarathi Parivahan platform. You’ll go through two stages: a Learner’s Licence first, then the permanent Driving Licence once you clear the practical test at your local RTO.
How to Apply for a Driving Licence in Bihar
- Visit sarathi.parivahan.gov.in and select Bihar from the state dropdown.
- Apply for a Learner’s Licence first, filling in personal details and choosing your vehicle class.
- Take the learner’s test – many RTOs now offer this online.
- After the mandatory practice period, apply for the permanent DL and book a driving test slot at your RTO (Patna, Gaya, Muzaffarpur, and other district RTOs all process through the same portal).
- Pass the practical test at the RTO and your licence gets approved.
Documents Required
- Proof of age and address (Aadhaar, voter ID, etc.)
- Passport-size photographs
- Medical certificate (Form 1A), required for applicants 40 and above or for commercial licences
Switching to a PVC Driving Licence
Whatever format your licence arrives in, printing a wallet-size PVC copy makes it far more durable to carry day to day. See Bihar Driving Licence PVC Card for wallet-size printing with fast delivery.
Conclusion
Bihar’s driving licence process runs through the same national Sarathi platform as the rest of the country – Learner’s Licence first, then the permanent DL after your RTO test. Once issued, a PVC reprint keeps it easy to carry.
