How to Fill Out an Online Driving License Form
A driving license is not just a permit to operate motorized vehicles; it also serves as a valuable identification document. Applying for one used to require visits to government offices, but now the entire process can be handled conveniently from home through the Department of Transport Management (DOTM), sometimes called Yatayat Karyalaya though the official name is Yatayat Bibhag.
Registration
To begin, visit the Driver's License application portal. Enter your mobile number along with the displayed captcha code. You will then receive an MPIN, which you must save for future access. Next, select Nepal as your citizenship country (for Nepali citizens), provide all required details (marked with an asterisk), and agree to the terms. This redirects you to the main application portal.
Submitting Your Application
Click “Apply for New License,” then select your preferred location for the mandatory health checkup, which tests eyesight and color blindness. Choose your vehicle category and the most convenient Transport Management Office for both your written and practical tests. Pick your preferred date, keeping in mind that seat availability is shown alongside and public holidays may require an alternate visit the following day. After clicking “Next,” you will see your application status and a link to download the application form, which you will need when you visit the office.
Adding a Category to an Existing License
For those who already hold a license and wish to add another category, the login process remains the same. After logging in, select “Add Category,” choose your health checkup location, the category to add, a suitable Transport Management Office, and a date. Click “Next” to view your application summary and download link.
Conclusion
Completing a driving license application online is straightforward and convenient, especially with the ability to choose your test date and location. This guide should help you navigate the process smoothly. Good luck with your tests you are sure to do well!
