Form 1A Medical Certificate in Bhubaneswar for Driving Licence Renewal

Yes, if you are 40 or older and renewing a private licence, or renewing a transport licence at any age. Odisha's Transport Department lists a Form 1A upload for renewal applicants above 40. Under 40, a private licence renewal does not need Form 1A under Rule 18 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules.

The portal generates it, but you cannot fill it in yourself. When you apply for renewal, a Form 1A is created for your application, which you download with an OTP. The form says it is to be filled in by a registered medical practitioner. In Odisha, doctors with a Sarathi login can issue it on the portal.

The blank Form 1A PDF is on Parivahan, published by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, and Odisha follows this same form under the Central Motor Vehicles Rules. For your renewal, use the copy the portal creates for your application, saved from your profile with an OTP, since it already shows your details. A doctor then attests it.

It is Form 1A, the national medical certificate under the Central Motor Vehicles Rules. Odisha's doctor registration form calls it the physical fitness certificate to licence applicant. It covers vision, number plate reading at 25 metres, hearing, night blindness, limbs and colour vision, and ends with a conclusion of fit or not fit to drive.

Registered medical practitioners with an MBBS degree, under an Odisha Gazette notification of 9 August 1990. To issue Form 1A on the portal, a doctor registers through the RTO, which creates a Sarathi login. Our doctor attests and approves your Form 1A on the portal.

It stays valid for six months from its date of issue. The Central Motor Vehicles (Sixth Amendment) Rules 2021 cut validity from one year to six months, from 1 April 2021. The Odisha Transport Commissioner's 2022 order repeats the six month limit, so time your renewal so the certificate is still fresh when you submit.

No, a private car or two wheeler licence does not need it below 40, unless applying for an adapted vehicle licence due to a physical disability. Rule 18 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules asks for Form 1A at renewal only from 40. A transport licence is different: you need Form 1A at every renewal, and also for a new transport licence, a transport learner's licence or an added transport class.

Odisha's fee sheet shows ₹340 for a renewal made no later than one year after expiry: ₹200 renewal fee plus ₹140 automation fee. After more than a year, the renewal fee is ₹300 with the same ₹140, plus a ₹1,000 late fee for each financial year or part of one.

Odisha's official chart names two for the city: RTO Bhubaneswar I, with area code OD02, and RTO Bhubaneswar II, with code OD33. Section 9(1), as amended in 2019, lets you apply for a driving licence to any licensing authority in the state, and the renewal form asks you to pick an RTO or ARTO.

Yes, you can apply online with Aadhaar authentication. Licence renewal is one of the visitless services Odisha launched on 23 August 2023 under Mo Parivahan Seva, through parivahan.gov.in and the Next Gen mParivahan app. The state renewal guide also lists a slot booking step after payment, and the RTO may still call you for physical verification.

The self test option costs ₹1,349 and ends with a digital Form 1A sent to your WhatsApp or email. It is non refundable, so check that your renewal needs Form 1A before you pay. Paper and physically attested copies are not offered.

Because in Odisha our doctor approves Form 1A on the portal, and that approval needs your Aadhaar linked, with an OTP, to the phone number given in your renewal application. If your application shows a different number from the one linked to Aadhaar, fix that before ordering, since the approval depends on it.
