Form 1A Medical Certificate in Guwahati for Driving Licence Renewal

Yes. The medical certificate that Rule 5 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules requires for a driving licence is Form 1A, and the rule applies in Assam as in every state. Under Section 15 of the Motor Vehicles Act, you need it to renew a private licence at 40 or older and at every transport licence renewal.

A registered medical practitioner. The official form says it must be filled in by a doctor the State Government appoints for the purpose, or a person it authorises. With our service, you then upload the signed digital Form 1A to your Assam Sarathi application yourself. If your DTO names particular doctors, go with its instruction.

Download the blank form from Parivahan, the transport site of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, to see what the form covers. For your renewal, use the Form 1A generated for your application instead. Save it from your profile on the transport site with your OTP, since that copy carries your application details.

The format is Form 1A under the Central Motor Vehicles Rules. It has your details and photo, questions on vision, reading a number plate at 25 metres, deafness, night blindness and limbs, a colour vision check on an Ishihara chart, and the doctor's finding of fit or not fit, signed and sealed with a registration number.

Yes. Assam launched online contactless driving licence renewal in October 2021, and the Transport Department says its contactless services can be used online or through a Common Service Centre without visiting the DTO office. At 40 or older, or with a transport licence, you also upload a signed Form 1A. The DTO can still call you in if needed.

The District Transport Office for Kamrup Metro, at Betkuchi on NH 37. The Commissionerate of Transport lists it with separate enforcement and RTA units at the same address, plus a Kamrup (Rural) DTO at Amingaon in North Guwahati. The list does not say which localities each office serves, so check with the office first.

Six months from the day it is issued. It used to be one year, until notification G.S.R. 240(E) amended Rule 5(3) of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules with effect from 1 April 2021. If your Assam renewal is still pending when the six months run out, you will need a new certificate.

Only for a transport licence, or for an adapted vehicle licence due to a physical disability. A private car or two wheeler licence renewed before 40 does not need Form 1A under Rule 18 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules. Taxi, bus and goods vehicle licences need Form 1A at every renewal at any age, and when a transport class is added.

₹200 for renewal plus ₹200 for the smart card, under Rule 32 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules. Apply more than a year after expiry and it is ₹300 plus ₹1,000 for each year or part of a year, with ₹300 per vehicle class for a driving test. Check the final amount shown before paying.

You can apply, but the licensing authority must refuse renewal unless you pass the test of competence to drive, under Section 15 of the Motor Vehicles Act. The central fee in that case is ₹300 plus ₹1,000 for each year or part of a year. Do not drive meanwhile, because the old 30 day grace period no longer exists.

₹1,349 for the self test, with the digital Form 1A sent on WhatsApp or email. Allow up to 72 working hours* after you share your application number, the downloaded Form 1A PDF and complete the ear and eye self test. We work Monday to Saturday from 10:30 am to 8:00 pm IST. Payment of ₹1,349 for the process is non refundable, so be sure you need Form 1A first. The Assam renewal fee is paid separately, and printed copies are not offered.

Check with the DTO that issued it before you apply. A 2023 Assam Transport Department notification gave holders of manual paper licences three months from 1 August 2023 to digitise them online or at a Common Service Centre, with Aadhaar authentication. It said licences not digitised in that time would become invalid.
