Indian citizens can now access legally valid digital copies of their driving licence and vehicle registration certificate (RC) without visiting Regional Transport Offices (RTOs). The government-backed DigiLocker platform lets users securely store and retrieve key documents online.

It allows users to store, access, and share important e-documents such as driving licences, Aadhaar, PAN, and educational certificates. All documents issued through DigiLocker carry the same legal validity as their physical counterparts under the Motor Vehicles Act.
