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

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.
