If you want to
drive a vehicle in Assam or anywhere in India, you must have a valid driving
licence. However, to obtain a driving licence in India, you must first apply
for and obtain a learner’s licence. Applying for a learner’s licence in Assam
can be done either through online means or through offline means. Applicants
are required to fill in the correct forms and attach documents for verification
before appearing for a learner’s licence test that takes place at the RTO closest
to the registered address of the applicant.
Both, the online and offline, application methods
are recognized across the state of Assam and are extremely user-friendly. While
the online application process is considered quicker and a lot more convenient,
