Applying for a Driving Licence (DL) in Andhra Pradesh has become easier than ever. The Andhra Pradesh Transport Department has fully digitized the process, allowing citizens to apply for, track, and download their driving licences online without visiting the RTO multiple times. This guide explains how you can apply for a driving licence online in AP in 2025, step by step.
Understanding the Online DL System in Andhra Pradesh
The AP Transport Department operates through the official website – aptransport.org and the Parivahan Sewa portal, both integrated with the central database of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH).
This system simplifies the process for:
- Learner’s Licence (LL)
- Permanent Driving Licence (DL)
- Renewal or Duplicate DL
- International Driving Permit (IDP)
Step-by-Step Process to Apply for a Driving Licence Online in AP
1. Visit the Official Portal
Go to https://aptransport.org or https://parivahan.gov.in. Click on “Driving Licence Related Services.”
2. Select Andhra Pradesh from the Dropdown Menu
Choose your state to access the AP Transport RTO portal.
3. Fill Out the Application Form
Enter your details carefully—name, address, date of birth, blood group, and Aadhaar number. You can also upload your photograph and signature online.
4. Upload Required Documents
Typically, you’ll need:
- Aadhaar Card (for address and ID proof)
- Age proof (Birth Certificate, 10th Certificate, etc.)
- Passport-size photo
- Medical certificate (for applicants above 40 years)
5. Schedule a Slot for the Driving Test
After submitting the form, book your test slot at the nearest RTO. You’ll receive an SMS confirmation with your test date and time.
6. Pay the Application Fee
Use online payment options like UPI, debit card, or net banking.
7. Take the Driving Test
On the test day, carry your Learner’s Licence and original documents. If you pass, your permanent DL will be sent to your registered address within a few days.
Real Example: Ease of Access in 2025
