Karnataka Driving Licence: How to Apply Online (Sarathi)

Posted on by PVC CARD PRINTING

Karnataka’s driving licence process runs through the national Sarathi Parivahan platform, the same system used across India, with a Learner’s Licence stage followed by the permanent Driving Licence after clearing the RTO practical test.

How to Apply for a Driving Licence in Karnataka

  1. Visit sarathi.parivahan.gov.in and select Karnataka from the state dropdown.
  2. Apply for a Learner’s Licence and fill in your personal and vehicle-class details.
  3. Complete the learner’s test, then observe the mandatory practice period.
  4. Apply for the permanent DL and book a driving test slot at your local RTO (Bengaluru’s RTOs are especially busy, so book early).
  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

A wallet-size PVC reprint of your licence holds up far better to daily use than a folded paper printout. See Karnataka Driving Licence PVC Card for wallet-size printing with fast delivery.

Conclusion

Karnataka’s driving licence process is the same Sarathi-based system used nationwide, with local RTOs handling the practical test. Once issued, a PVC reprint is a simple way to make your licence more durable.
