Do you need Form 1A for your Noida renewal?
You need it if you are 40 or older and renewing a private licence, or if your licence includes any transport vehicle class. Below 40, Form 1A is not needed to renew a private licence unless the applicant has a physical disability and applies for an adapted vehicle licence.
| Your situation | Form 1A needed? |
|---|---|
| Renewing a private car or two wheeler licence at 40 or above | Yes, a fresh one each time |
| Renewing a private licence before turning 40 | No, not before you turn 40, unless applying for an adapted vehicle licence |
| Renewing a transport licence, such as for a taxi, goods vehicle or bus | Yes, whatever your age |
| Applying for a transport learner's licence or transport licence, or adding a transport class | Yes, whatever your age |
Our service is for licence renewals and International Driving Permit applications. We do not issue Form 1A for a new licence or a learner's licence.
How long your renewed licence will last
Your age on the day you renew decides the new expiry date, under Section 14 of the Motor Vehicles Act as amended in 2019.
Renewed before 30:
valid until you turn 40.
Renewed at 30 or later, but before 50:
valid for 10 years.
Renewed at 50 or later, but before 55:
valid until you turn 60.
Renewed at 55 or later:
valid for 5 years.
Transport licence:
5 years, or 3 years if it covers hazardous goods.
If you hold only a private licence, the first renewal on or after your 40th birthday is the first one that asks for Form 1A.

What a driver medical check up covers on Form 1A
The questions printed on the national Form 1A cover eyesight, hearing, night vision, limbs and colour vision. The form ends with a conclusion of fit or not fit to drive.
| Part of Form 1A | What it asks or certifies |
|---|---|
| Your details | Name; son, wife or daughter of; permanent address; date of birth; two identification marks |
| Photo | Your photo, with part of the doctor's signature over it and part on the certificate |
| Question 3(a) | Is there a defect of vision, and do glasses correct it? |
| Question 3(c) | Can you read a motor car number plate at 25 metres in good daylight? |
| Question 3(d) | Is there deafness that would stop you hearing ordinary sound signals? |
| Question 3(e) | Do you have night blindness? |
| Question 3(f) | Is there a defect, deformity or loss of a limb that affects driving? |
| Optional | Blood group and Rh factor |
| Certificate wording | A personal examination, with attention to distant vision, hearing, and arms, legs, hands and joints |
| Colour vision | The certificate states it was tested on a standard Ishihara chart, with no severe or total colour blindness |
| Hazardous goods licences only | Reaction time, side vision and glare recovery |
| Conclusion | Fit or not fit to drive a vehicle other than an adapted vehicle, with reasons if not fit, followed by the doctor's signature, name, designation, registration number, seal and date |
The form has no question 3(b), so it is normal for it to jump from 3(a) to 3(c). A note on the form says a person who cannot speak but can hear may get a certificate for a non transport licence.
Form 1A rules in Uttar Pradesh
The national rules decide who needs Form 1A, and they apply in Uttar Pradesh as in every state. For our service, the UP specific part is the final step: you upload the signed digital Form 1A to your Sarathi application yourself.
Who may sign.
The official form says it is to be filled in by a registered medical practitioner appointed for the purpose by the state government, or a person the state has authorised. If your office asks for a particular doctor, do as it says.
No portal approval step with our service.
In some states the doctor approves Form 1A on the transport portal. Uttar Pradesh is not one of them for our service, so the doctor attests the PDF and you attach it.
Electronic only.
Since 1 April 2021, Rule 5(4) of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules says Form 1A shall only be issued electronically on the portal.
No reuse.
A certificate from an earlier renewal is of no help, because it lapses six months after issue.

Before you pay
Read these answers first, because the ₹1,349 self test option is non refundable.
Can a family member take the test for me?
No. You take the eye and ear test yourself, on camera, with your face visible.
I wear glasses. Does that matter?
Form 1A question 3(a) asks whether glasses correct a defect of vision. If you are unsure how that applies to your self test, ask us on WhatsApp before you pay.
My office wants a paper copy.
Then this option will not suit you. Our certificate is digital and works only when uploaded online.
What if the doctor does not issue it?
Issuing Form 1A is the doctor's decision. The process is a non refundable format, so there are no refunds, including when the certificate is not issued. Please read our refund and cancellation policy before you order.
Can you correct the address on my Form 1A?
No. The doctor leaves the address, photo and other details on Form 1A as they are, so check them before you order.
Renewing a driving licence online in UP on Sarathi
Uttar Pradesh is among the states that Sarathi lists for online services, so you can start a Noida renewal on the portal.
Open Sarathi. It asks you to select the state from where the service is to be taken: choose Uttar Pradesh.
Pick the licence renewal service and identify your licence when asked.
Complete the application with the details the portal asks for.
Note the application number, then download the Form 1A generated for your application, using the OTP.
Have the Form 1A attested by a registered doctor, and upload the signed digital copy to the same application.
Pay the renewal fee on the portal.
Make the renewal itself only on sarathi.parivahan.gov.in or another official Ministry site. Sarathi warns users to beware of fraudulent websites and apps. Labels on the portal can change, so follow what you see on screen.
Licensing office for Noida
Noida's driving licences come under the Uttar Pradesh Transport Department, which uses Sarathi for licence renewals. We do not give an address, phone number or registration code for the Noida office, because we could not confirm them from an official Uttar Pradesh source.
Since 2019, Section 9(1) of the Motor Vehicles Act has let you apply for a driving licence to any licensing authority in the state. If you are called in, confirm the office details with the UP Transport Department before you travel.
Renewal fees and deadlines
Rule 32 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules prices a renewal at ₹200, and the smart card at another ₹200. Section 15 of the Motor Vehicles Act gives you a year on either side of the expiry date to renew without a driving test.
| Fee item (Rule 32) | Amount |
|---|---|
| Licence renewal | ₹200 |
| Smart card | ₹200 |
| Renewal applied for more than one year after expiry | ₹300, with ₹1,000 added for each year or part of a year |
| Test of competence to drive, if required | ₹300 for each class of vehicle |
Uttar Pradesh may show its own total or add service charges, so pay the amount the portal asks for.
Key dates
Up to a year before expiry:
you may apply to renew.
After the expiry date:
the 30 day period in which an expired licence stayed valid no longer exists, because the 2019 amendment removed it.
Within a year after expiry:
renewal without a driving test.
Over a year after expiry:
renewal is refused unless you pass the test of competence to drive.
Points to check before you upload
Form 1A is valid for six months, so check its issue date before you upload it.
Issued more than six months ago.
A stalled renewal needs a fresh certificate.
Details that differ from your government ID.
Details on Form 1A are not changed by the doctor, so compare them with your ID before you order.
Application number typed wrongly on our form.
Copy it from your renewal application.
Printout handed in at the office.
The digital copy counts only when uploaded online.
A doctor your office does not accept.
Acceptance depends on local RTO rules, so follow any list your office gives you.
Renewal left for over a year.
You will need the driving test as well.
Hazardous goods licence.
The form adds checks on reaction time, side vision and glare recovery, so see a doctor in person.
Download the official Form 1A
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways makes the blank form available on Parivahan: download the official Form 1A PDF.
The blank copy shows every field on the form. For a renewal, use the copy generated for your application instead, since Form 1A has to be issued electronically on the portal.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need Form 1A to renew my driving licence in Noida?
Yes, if you are 40 or older and the licence covers a private car or two wheeler, or if it includes any transport vehicle. The requirement comes from Section 15 of the Motor Vehicles Act read with Rule 5 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules. Below 40, a private renewal does not need Form 1A.
How do I fill up the medical form for my driving licence?
Most of it is not yours to fill. Sarathi generates the Form 1A for your application, and the form is filled in by a registered medical practitioner appointed for the purpose by the state government, or a person authorised in this behalf by it. You supply accurate details and two identification marks. Do not tick the medical answers yourself.
What does a driver medical check up for Form 1A include?
Form 1A covers vision and whether glasses correct it, reading a car number plate at 25 metres in daylight, hearing ordinary sound signals, night blindness, and limb problems that affect driving. Its certificate also refers to colour vision on an Ishihara chart. Hazardous goods licences add reaction time, side vision and glare recovery, so see a doctor in person.
Can I renew my driving licence online in UP from Noida?
Yes. Uttar Pradesh is listed on Sarathi for online services, so you can apply for renewal there and select Uttar Pradesh as the state. At 40 or above, or with a transport licence, you also upload a signed Form 1A. You may still be called in, for example for a driving test after a long lapse.
Where can I download the UP medical certificate for licence renewal?
Download the Form 1A generated for your renewal application from your profile on the transport portal, using an OTP. The blank national Form 1A is on Parivahan, but use it only to read the fields. The form comes from the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, which apply in Uttar Pradesh as in every other state.
Which office handles driving licences for Noida?
The Uttar Pradesh Transport Department handles driving licences for Noida. We do not list an address or registration code for the Noida office because we could not confirm them from an official source. Renewal starts online on Sarathi, and you may apply for a licence to any licensing authority in Uttar Pradesh.
My Form 1A is four months old. Can I still use it?
Yes, as long as you use it within six months of the issue date. Rule 5(3) of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, as amended from 1 April 2021, limits Form 1A to six months. Before that change it lasted one year. If your renewal slips past the six month mark, get a fresh certificate.
Will a printout of the online Form 1A work at the office?
No. Our digital Form 1A works only when uploaded online, and a printout of it is not accepted offline. If your RTO calls you in for physical verification, you will need a Form 1A physically attested by a doctor you visit, which we cannot provide. Upload the digital copy to your Sarathi application instead.
What will the renewal cost in total?
Our self test with a digital Form 1A costs ₹1,349 and is non refundable. The transport fee is separate: Rule 32 sets ₹200 for renewal and ₹200 for the smart card. Renewing more than a year after expiry costs ₹300 plus ₹1,000 for each year or part of a year, and any driving test is ₹300 per class.
Is Form 1A needed if I am not yet 40?
A private car or two wheeler licence does not need it before 40. This follows Rule 18(1)(d) of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, as substituted by G.S.R. 240(E). Transport licences are the exception: Form 1A is needed at every renewal, for a transport learner's licence, and when you add a transport class, whatever your age.
How soon will I get the Form 1A?
Allow up to 72 hours after you share your application number, the downloaded Form 1A PDF and ear and eye self test report. 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.
