A driving license is an important document in many aspects. From helping you drive a four-wheeler to serving as an ID proof throughout places, the driving license is extremely important. But what if you lose it or it gets torn? 

Well, no need to worry because as per new rules, you don't have to rush to the Regional Transport Office (RTO) to get a new license, instead, you can get it sitting at home. 

If you have lost your driving license, then you will first have to file a complaint with the local police and if in case you just want to issue a new license because your old license has torn or gone bad, then you will have to submit your old license to the department. 

Here are the steps to get a driving license online: 

- Visit the website of the Transport Department.

- Take a printout of the document and then attach necessary documents with it
