Maharashtra Driving Licence: Complete Application Guide

Like every state, Maharashtra’s driving licence process runs through the national Sarathi Parivahan platform, with a Learner’s Licence stage followed by the permanent Driving Licence after an RTO practical test.

How to Apply for a Driving Licence in Maharashtra

  1. Visit sarathi.parivahan.gov.in and select Maharashtra from the state dropdown.
  2. Apply for a Learner’s Licence, fill in your details, and choose your vehicle class.
  3. Complete the learner’s test – Maharashtra’s busier RTOs (Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur) often fill test slots quickly, so it’s worth booking early.
  4. After the mandatory practice period, apply for the permanent DL and book your driving test at the relevant RTO.
  5. Pass the practical test and your licence is approved.

Documents Required

  • Proof of age and address
  • Passport-size photographs
  • Medical certificate (Form 1A) for applicants 40 and above, or for commercial licences

Switching to a PVC Driving Licence

Printing a wallet-size PVC copy of your licence keeps it far more durable for everyday use. See Maharashtra Driving Licence PVC Card for wallet-size printing with fast delivery.

Conclusion

Maharashtra’s driving licence process follows the same Sarathi-based system as the rest of India, with local RTOs handling the practical test. Once your licence is issued, a PVC reprint makes it easier to carry alongside your other ID cards.
