Driving Licence in Bangalore

How to Apply for Driving Licence in Bangalore?

To put it in simple terms, a driving licence is nothing but your legal permit to drive on the road. The same confirms you can ride a two-wheeler or drive a four-wheeler responsibly. 

In a big city like Bangalore where there is so much traffic congestion on the road- your risk of falling into trouble is sort of higher.

From all the reckless driving, narrow streets and the constant traffic- there are a million little things that can go wrong. While these are subjective things that can get you into trouble, a routine cop check can make things go wrong too.

Of course, this depends on whether you’ve violated any traffic rules, or something as simple as not carrying your driving essentials- such as your driver’s licence, car/bike insurance and pollution control certificate.

Out of these, the most basic document you should be having is your driving licence- after all that’s the only proof you have that you’re allowed to drive, legally! If you haven’t got one yet, we’re here to help you out! Just follow through this article.

Steps to apply for a Learner's Licence

  • There are two modes to apply for a driving licence. You can choose from online and offline modes as per your convenience. To apply online, visit the Government of Karnataka Transport Department official website. Find out the form 1,2, and 3 to apply for DL. Submit the form along with all the necessary documents.

  • Don’t be overconfident while appearing for the driving test.
  • Do not give the test under the effect of alcohol.
  • It will be good to use side mirrors and indicators.

  • Practice and be sure of making an imaginary ‘8’ for the driving test.

A Duplicate Licence holds the same importance as the original DL held for you. There can be a situation in life when a Driving licence gets stolen or lost. And if this happens, then you’ll need to apply for a Duplicate Driving Licence.
