Linking your mobile number to your driving license has become extremely important these days. If you haven’t already linked your mobile number to your driving license, you can now do it from home in just a few minutes. Previously, this required visiting the RTO office, filling out forms, and waiting in long queues. However, under the Digital India initiative, this process has become much easier.
Why is it important to link the mobile number?
Many people wonder what difference this will make. But in reality, linking your driving license to your mobile number provides direct access to a variety of services, including online renewals, address changes, and license details checks. Furthermore, if you encounter any problems while driving, you receive OTPs and notifications from the RTO immediately. Without a mobile number linked, accessing important information can sometimes be difficult.
How to add mobile number?
Nowadays, linking a mobile number requires just a few simple steps:
- – First of all you have to visit the official website of the Transport Department or the site of the concerned RTO.
- – There select the option of ‘Update Mobile Number’ or ‘Link Mobile Number’.
- – Fill in your driving license details and other required information.
- – Enter your mobile number and generate OTP.
- – After entering OTP your number will be successfully linked.
- – Sometimes OTP comes slowly or the website gives error, then try again.
- – Remember, add only your personal number and do not share the OTP with anyone.
Benefits of the online process
- – License related updates, renewal or any document will be available immediately on mobile.
- – If the license is lost or stolen, recovery will be easy.
- – Protect yourself from fraud and the service will remain active only on your mobile.
- – Saves time and money, plus everything online from home, no need to stand in line.
