Driving License lost, How to get a new one? - Page 2 - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

1st question, when is your licence expiring?
My dad's case is pretty much similar to yours... a lil bit more complicated actually :P
Neways, if your lisence is expiring in a couple of months are something... just wait for it to expire and then apply for a new one in bangalore... or else go to a police station and tell them you lost your licence somewhere... DO NOT TELL THEM THAT YOU LEFT IT IN THE HANDS OF SOME PERSON... JUST TELL THEM YOU MISPLACED IT SOMEWHERE AND DONT REMEMBER WHERE YOU LIST IT.
Once you write the fir you can apply for a new one.

today I'm going through all the 'lost my papers' type of threads that i can find to help people out of this common misery..
1st thing- F I R..
Now, on to the main thing..there's a service of document management that has recently started in India..i've started using it and am suggesting it to everyone..you submit your important documents (not just your vehicle papers
) with the company and they'll digitize them and you can then view and send digital copies of those through the internet using a unique password that you'd be provided with. Also, you can get your papers back if you want..they deliver them to your place on your request.
The name of the company is kleeto..and they are the only ones providing this service. Check them out. And i'd suggest anybody reading this thread to try it.
And good luck Sudeep..and happy journey..you'd probably be having another trip to Tamil Nadu now..

Thanks Shashwat for that piece of info.

Thanks Saipranav for replying. The expiry date is still close to 17 yrs away. So the one solution now is to register an F.I.R and then apply for a new one.
Would be doing that now.

I dont think you will get a new one, upon producing the FIR, the RTO will issue a Duplicate DL and since your DL is from Indore, you will have to go there to get your DL.

If you want it from Bangalore, you might have to start Fresh. check here for more Transport Department -> RTO Services

here is the info for Duplicate DL in Bangalore.

Thanks for replying! I've read that before.
Since I won't be going back to Indore again, I cannot apply for the Duplicate License.
So I would be applying a fresh one in Bangalore. I don't see any other solution.

If you are applying fresh, you might not need FIR.

Well, someone suggested me to keep the FIR copy as a proof of cancellation of my previous license, since it has not expired yet. So its a mandatory thing!

aargee · 06-06-2011, 01:49 PM

I've two licenses as well. One from TN & KL. Fortunately, I've not lost both of them. When I applied latter in KL, I was adviced to cancel the one that I'd with TN saying it was offense to have two valid licenses.

If a license is lost, it is mandatory to file a FIR as it is perfectly possible to duplicate the license using the same license number to commit a crime which naturally will fall into the registered owner's name.

Sudeep,

Probably we live in India and tracking back a Driving License of a person in Bangalore with Indore is extremely difficult.
Add to that RTO needs to match address, names et all.

More so no one will be interested, moreover different state laws, RTO rules & lot of other paraphernalias are involved for Police or Motor Vehicles Department to handle this.

Apply for a new one in

BANGY. Simple & Easy !!!

Even I am also applying one with different RTO in Kolkata itself.

Aargee, why did you apply for a second license when the first one was not lost?

Yeah, I know they won't be tracking all those things.
But still, to be on a safer side, it's better to have an FIR registered and then apply for a fresh one.
