Rajasthan’s Indian state is one of the oldest states globally, and Jaipur is its capital and the largest city in the state. Driving a vehicle in the city, state, or country requires a valid driving licence, and every applicant has to approach the RTO located nearest to their registered address. RTO’s are responsible for issuing and delivering the applicants’ driving licences after successfully clearing the driving licence test. The RTO takes about two weeks before dispatching the licence from the applicant’s date- clearing the driving licence test. However, it takes another two weeks for the driving licence to reach the address of the applicant. This is the time when applicants can check the status of their driving licences online. The RTO advises all applicants to check the driving licence status after the initial two weeks, as the information might not be updated in the database. Applicants can check their driving licence status by either visiting the official website for the state Transport Department or by visiting the Sarathi webpage of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. If you require any information on checking your driving licence status in Jaipur, below is a detailed explanation of the process.
As mentioned earlier, the RTO from where you applied for a driving licence takes a minimum of two weeks to dispatch the driving licence. Therefore, you can only find any information about your driving licence online from that time. It takes about two weeks from the date of the clearing of the driving licence test for the RTO to dispatch your licence. This means that checking the status one day after the test will not bring up any results. From the time the driving licence is dispatched, it takes a minimum of another two weeks to reach your address. You can start checking the driving licence status about two weeks after successfully clearing the DL test. If you cannot find your driving licence status even after 3-4 weeks, you should contact the RTO for more information.
For anyone who has applied for a driving licence, a duplicate driving licence, an international driving licence, or a renewed driving licence, the steps for checking the status are listed below:

Checking your driving licence status online is considered the faster, easier, and more convenient option as it can be done in a matter of minutes rather than visiting the RTO and waiting in long queues. While most of the states in India have their own official transport department website where individuals can check the status of their driving licences, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways introduced the Sarathi platform where driving licence applicants and holders can find all the information they need in one easy to use location. Here is how you check the status of your driving licence in Jaipur through the Sarathi website.
As mentioned above, the RTO only dispatches a driving licence a minimum of two weeks after the applicant has cleared the driving licence test at the RTO. Under normal circumstances, the driving licence is delivered to the registered applicant within a month after the test has been cleared. However, a few driving licences might get delayed due to verification procedures or delays by the postal service. The RTO advises all driving licence applicants to start checking their licences’ status after a minimum of two weeks. It is also not advisable to check your driving licence status every day as the status does not change that quickly. When you want to check your driving licence status, it is best to do so once or twice a week at the max. In case you cannot find any information about your driving licence even after a couple of weeks, you can approach the RTO for more information.
There are a few facts about the driving licence status in India that must be known by all applicants and all driving licence holders in Jaipur and the country.
