Good news for Delhiite, Motorists in the city need not to carry licence and registration certificate rather they can show these documents stored in Digi-locker platform, or m-Parivahan mobile app, when asked for by the traffic police and the transport department.

 

Asper a notice issued by transport ministry in Delhi, Driving license and registration certificate, available in digital form on the Digi-locker platform, or the m-Parivahan mobile app, are valid documents under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.

 

These are legally recognised at par with the certificates issued by the transport department, it added.

“The Traffic Police and Enforcement Wing of Transport Department duly accept the electronic form of driving license and registration certificate if shown in the Digilocker and m-Parivahan app,” the notice said.

However, soft copy of driving license and registration certificate maintained in any other form is not acceptable as original record, it clarified.
