Online Form 1A Certificate in Mumbai for Driving Licence Renewal

Yes, if you are renewing a driving licence. Start the renewal on Sarathi, send us the application number and the Form 1A PDF, and take an eye and ear self test with your camera on. Our empanelled doctor attests the form and approves it on the portal, and a digital copy reaches you on WhatsApp or email.

Yes, once you reach 40 on a private licence, and whenever a transport licence is renewed. The requirement is in Section 15 of the Motor Vehicles Act, backed by Rule 5 of the central rules. For a Mumbai driver renewing a private licence before 40, Form 1A is not required, unless applying for an adapted vehicle licence due to a physical disability.

Yes. The blank Form 1A PDF is on the Parivahan website. For a renewal you need the Form 1A generated for your own application, which you download from your profile with the OTP. The doctor then attests the form on Sarathi against that application number.

Only doctors empanelled with the RTO. According to the state's Motor Vehicles Department, a doctor registered with the Maharashtra Medical Council has to register on Sarathi and have the account approved by the RTO before issuing Form 1A, and cannot issue it once the empanelment validity expires. The form's instruction reads: "To be filled in by a registered medical practitioner appointed for the purpose by the State Government or person authorised in this behalf by the State Government."

No. In Maharashtra, Form 1A is attested on Sarathi against your application number and tagged to your application. With us, the empanelled doctor attests and approves it on the portal, which needs your Aadhaar linked by OTP to your application mobile number. You still receive the attested digital copy on WhatsApp or email.

Six months from the date of issue. The limit was one year until notification G.S.R. 240(E) amended Rule 5(3) of the central rules from 1 April 2021. A Form 1A older than six months is out of date, so a new one is needed.

Because the doctor's approval on the portal depends on it. In Maharashtra our empanelled doctor attests and approves Form 1A on the portal, and that needs your Aadhaar linked, with an OTP, to the mobile number in your renewal application. Sort this out before booking, since the ₹1,349 fee is non refundable.

Going by the state's Know Your RTO list, Colaba, Fort and Dadar come under Mumbai Central (MH01), Bandra, Andheri and Jogeshwari under Mumbai West (MH02), and Kurla, Ghatkopar and Mulund under Mumbai East (MH03). The Borivali office (MH47) is at Dahisar West. Since 2019 you may apply for a driving licence to any licensing authority in the state.

₹416, according to the licence fee page of the Maharashtra transport department, which also lists ₹1,000 a year if you apply after the extended period. Under central Rule 32, a driving test, when needed, costs ₹300 for each class of vehicle. Our ₹1,349 Form 1A fee is separate from what you pay on Sarathi.

Yes, but only after passing a driving test. More than a year after expiry, Section 15 of the Motor Vehicles Act requires the licensing authority to refuse renewal unless you have passed the test of competence to drive. Within a year of expiry, no test is needed.

It is ₹1,349 for the self test, which includes a digital Form 1A. Payment of ₹1,349 for the process is non refundable. 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, and orders that arrive outside those hours are picked up in the next working slot. Printed or physically attested copies are not supplied.

No, if you hold only a car or two wheeler licence for private use, unless you are applying for an adapted vehicle licence due to a physical disability. A transport licence differs: Form 1A is needed at every renewal, and for a transport learner's licence, licence or added class.
