Want to keep your driving licence on your smartphone or download a soft copy instead of carrying it everywhere physically? The government has provided an option to help keep your driving licence saved on your phone or have its soft copy via DigiLocker or the mParivahan app.
This comes in handy especially if you forget to carry the physical copy of your driving licence. Also, keeping your driving licence stored on your smartphone helps to save its hard copy from getting lost or theft.
In 2018, the government passed an advisory for states to accept driving licences and vehicle registration stored in DigiLocker and the mParivahan app.
That move was aimed at eliminating the need for carrying physical versions of documents while driving.
Before beginning, it is important to point out that you need to have an account on DigiLocker. You can sign up on DigiLocker using your phone number and Aadhaar card.
