Take it step by step
- Open the official Sarathi portal and choose the relevant state.
- Read the available driving licence service descriptions and select the renewal route for your situation.
- Follow the state-specific instructions for evidence, forms and any required visit.
- Prepare a photo or signature only if requested, using the displayed dimensions and size limits.
- Keep the application reference and follow the official status/appointment instructions.
A situation to try.
Two states can present different screens or required steps. A screenshot from another state is not a reliable checklist for your application.
Use the tool’s synthetic example first where available. The example here explains a decision; it is not a reported benchmark result.
Before you call it done.
- Check the chosen state and service.
- Use the current official document and fee instructions.
- Review reference and appointment details before your visit.
Know the limits.
Age, expiry, licence type and state rules can change the route and evidence required. This page does not determine eligibility, fees, medical requirements or approval.
