Tamil Nadu to Introduce Digital Driving Licences and Vehicle Registration Certificates from September 15
Tamil Nadu will launch digital driving licences and vehicle registration certificates from September 15, allowing new vehicle owners to download their RCs and driving test candidates to receive licences immediately. This initiative aims to eliminate the current wait of up to a month for physical cards sent by post. The government plans to implement 'Anywhere Registration Licensing' to enable document issuance from any Regional Transport Office, enhancing transparency and reducing delays. Digital documents will feature QR codes for easy verification and can be re-downloaded if originals are lost or damaged.
