While everybody thinks that you definitely need an Agent to convert your old booklet Driving License into a Smart Card and also to renew it, I took up a challenge this summer to check how the entire system works and was very pleased to get things smoothly done and also save some money. Rather than getting misguided by the Agents, you can follow the process below (as per your case) to get your old Booklet Driving License digitized, have NOC issued in old RTO and then apply for renewal and issuance of new Driving License.
Digitisation of Booklet DL (RTO Mumbai West - Andheri) [if your DL is not present on Central Repository] -
- Fill Offline Application Form 9 (Rs.5) along with copy of Driving License and original Driving License.
- Counter 19 closed. Counter 13 accepts form, verifies, signs and then sends to 1st Floor Assistant RTO - Hemant Patil - for 2nd sign.
- After sign of Assistant RTO Counter 13 verifies and sends to Counter 15 for submission.
- Counter 15 uploads data to Central Repository in 5-10 mins.
- Once the data is uploaded on Central Repository you can view your License details on the parivahan Portal and also add your DL on the DigiLocker App.
