State to pick

Ghaziabad or Delhi: which state to select

Ghaziabad is in Uttar Pradesh, so a renewal through a Ghaziabad office is made with Uttar Pradesh selected on Sarathi. The Ghaziabad district website describes the district as the main entrance of Uttar Pradesh, because its boundary is adjacent to Delhi.

Sarathi asks you to select the state from where the service is to be taken. Form 1A is prescribed by the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, but the fee total Sarathi shows for Delhi can differ from the one for Uttar Pradesh. Within the state you select, Section 9(1) of the Motor Vehicles Act, as amended in 2019, allows an application for a driving licence to any licensing authority.

Who needs it

Do you need Form 1A? Check by age and licence type

Find your row below. For a private licence the age that counts is your age when you renew, and transport licences need Form 1A every time.

Licence and age on renewalForm 1ANew licence lasts
Private, under 30Not neededUntil age 40
Private, 30 to under 40Not needed10 years
Private, 40 to under 50Needed10 years
Private, 50 to under 55NeededUntil age 60
Private, 55 and aboveNeeded5 years
Transport, any ageNeeded5 years
Hazardous goodsNeeded, with extra checks3 years

Licence periods are from Section 14 of the Motor Vehicles Act, as amended in 2019. A private renewal before you turn 40 does not need Form 1A. Form 1A is also needed for a transport learner's licence or when you add a transport class.

Our service covers renewals and International Driving Permit applications. It does not cover new or learner licences.

Uttar Pradesh rules

Uttar Pradesh requirements for Form 1A

Uttar Pradesh uses the national Form 1A and the national rules on who needs it. With our service, the state specific step is that you upload the signed digital copy to your Sarathi application yourself.

  • Licences run on Sarathi.

    The CAG's performance audit of the UP Transport Department, covering 2016 to 2021, found it using Sarathi for issuing and renewing permanent licences and collecting fees.

  • Doctor.

    The form is to be filled in by a registered medical practitioner appointed for the purpose by the state government, or someone the state has authorised.

  • No portal approval step with our service.

    In Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, the empanelled doctor approves Form 1A on the portal. Uttar Pradesh is not on that list, so with our service you receive the signed PDF and upload it yourself.

Questions people ask before paying

Settle these before you pay, as the ₹1,349 self test option is non refundable.

  • I live in Ghaziabad, but my licence is from Delhi.

    Sarathi asks you to select the state from where the service is to be taken. This page covers renewals taken in Uttar Pradesh, and our national Form 1A page covers other states.

  • Will the doctor definitely issue it?

    Not necessarily, as issuing Form 1A is the doctor's decision. With this non refundable format there are no refunds, even when the certificate is not issued.

  • Will my office accept it?

    That depends on your local RTO's rules, so ask if you are unsure.

  • My photo on the form is old. Can it be replaced?

    Not by the doctor, who does not change the photo, address or other details on Form 1A.

  • Do I need a clinic visit for the self test?

    Our self test is done online on camera, so it needs no clinic visit. It is not a replacement for a doctor's visit, and if your RTO later calls you for physical verification, you will need a Form 1A physically attested by a doctor you visit.

On Sarathi

Renewing a UP licence on Sarathi from Ghaziabad

Uttar Pradesh appears on Sarathi's list of states with online services, so a Ghaziabad renewal is applied for online.

  1. On Sarathi, select Uttar Pradesh as the state from where the service is to be taken.

  2. Choose the driving licence renewal service and enter the licence details requested.

  3. Complete the application form.

  4. Record the application number and download the Form 1A generated for it.

  5. Get it attested by a registered doctor and upload the signed copy.

  6. Pay the fee on the portal.

A licence that lapsed more than a year ago needs the test of competence to drive. Portal labels change from time to time, so follow the options on your screen.

Local RTO

Transport office for Ghaziabad

Official audit records name a Regional Transport Office called RTO Ghaziabad. The CAG sampled it in its performance audit of the UP Transport Department, covering 2016 to 2021.

We have not listed the office address, phone number or registration code, because we could not confirm them from an official Uttar Pradesh source. Apply online first, and if you are asked to visit, check the details with the UP Transport Department.

Fees

Fees and timelines for renewal

Renewing a licence costs ₹200 and the smart card another ₹200 under Rule 32 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules. Renewing more than a year late adds a late fee and a driving test.

When you renewFee under Rule 32
Before expiry or within a year of it₹200 for renewal, plus ₹200 for the smart card
More than a year after expiry₹300 with ₹1,000 more for each year, or part of one
If a driving test is needed₹300 per class of vehicle

Uttar Pradesh may show its own total, including any service charges, so pay what Sarathi displays.

Timeline

  • Twelve months before expiry:

    the earliest point to apply.

  • After the expiry date:

    the 30 day period of grace no longer exists, because the 2019 amendment removed it.

  • Within twelve months after expiry:

    renew without a driving test.

  • After twelve months:

    renewal is refused unless you pass the test of competence to drive.

Avoid delays

Points to check before uploading

Check the issue date first: Form 1A stays valid for six months.

  • Certificate past six months.

    Order a new one.

  • Wrong state selected on Sarathi.

    The service is taken from the state you select, so choose Uttar Pradesh for a Ghaziabad office.

  • Details that differ from your government ID.

    Compare the Form 1A details with your ID before you order, because the doctor does not change them.

  • Application number that does not match.

    Copy it from your renewal application.

  • A printout taken to the counter.

    The digital copy has to be uploaded online.

  • Doctor not accepted by your office.

    Local RTO rules decide this, so follow its instructions.

  • More than a year since expiry.

    A driving test will be needed too.

  • Hazardous goods licence.

    The form adds extra checks on reaction time, side vision and glare recovery, so see a doctor in person.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Form 1A required for driving licence renewal in Ghaziabad?

It is required if you are 40 or older and renewing a private licence, or if you hold a transport licence, whatever your age. This follows Section 15 of the Motor Vehicles Act and Rule 5 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules. If you hold only a private licence and are under 40, you do not need it.

Is Ghaziabad under Uttar Pradesh or Delhi on Sarathi?

Uttar Pradesh. Ghaziabad is a district of Uttar Pradesh that borders Delhi, so a renewal through a Ghaziabad office is applied for with Uttar Pradesh selected on Sarathi, which asks for the state from where the service is to be taken. Fee totals can differ by state, since states may show their own totals or service charges.

Can I get the UP medical certificate for a Ghaziabad renewal online?

Yes, for a renewal or an International Driving Permit application. Apply for renewal on Sarathi, share the application number and Form 1A PDF with us, and take the eye and ear self test on camera. A doctor attests the Form 1A, and you upload the digital copy to your Sarathi application yourself.

Is there a medical form fill up step in the UP licence renewal?

Yes, at 40 or older on a private licence, or on a transport licence. Download the Form 1A generated for your renewal. A registered medical practitioner appointed for the purpose by the state government, or a person it authorises, fills in the medical section. Form 1 was omitted, and its self declaration of physical fitness now sits in Form 2.

What do I do with Form 1A after a doctor attests it?

Upload the signed digital copy to your renewal application on Sarathi, the same application whose number you gave us, then complete the remaining steps and pay the fee there. For Uttar Pradesh, our doctor does not approve it on the portal for you. Do not take a printout to the office, as it is not accepted offline.

Is there an RTO in Ghaziabad?

RTO Ghaziabad is named in the CAG's performance audit of the UP Transport Department, covering 2016 to 2021, among the offices it sampled. We could not confirm its address or code from an official source, so check with the UP Transport Department before visiting. Renewal itself starts online on Sarathi.

Does the UP driver medical check up include colour vision and night blindness?

Form 1A covers both. Question 3(e) asks about night blindness, and the doctor's certificate refers to colour vision tested on a standard Ishihara chart, with no severe or total colour blindness. The form also asks about defects of vision, reading a car number plate at 25 metres, hearing and limbs.

How long will my renewed Ghaziabad licence be valid?

It depends on your age on the renewal date. A private licence renewed at 40 to under 50 lasts 10 years, at 50 to under 55 it lasts until 60, and from 55 it lasts 5 years. Transport licences last 5 years, and hazardous goods licences 3 years, under Section 14 as amended in 2019.

What happens if my licence expired more than a year ago?

Renewal will be refused unless you pass the test of competence to drive, under Section 15 as amended in 2019. The fee rises to ₹300 plus ₹1,000 for each year or part of a year, and the test costs ₹300 per class of vehicle. If you are 40 or older, you need a fresh Form 1A too.

Can I order Form 1A for an International Driving Permit application?

Yes. Our service covers International Driving Permit applications as well as driving licence renewals, but not a new licence or a learner's licence. Whether your permit application asks for Form 1A depends on the application itself, so check it before you order, because the ₹1,349 self test fee is non refundable.

What does Form 1A cost with MedicalCertificate.in?

₹1,349 for the self test option with a digital Form 1A, sent on WhatsApp or email within up to 72 hours of receiving your application number and PDF. It is non refundable, so make sure you need Form 1A before paying. The Sarathi renewal fee is paid separately, and printed copies are not provided.

How soon will I get the Form 1A?

Allow up to 72 working hours* from when you send your application number, downloaded Form 1A PDF and online ear and eye test results. We work Monday to Saturday from 10:30 am to 8:00 pm IST, and orders that arrive outside those hours are picked up in the next working slot. Work starts only after payment.
