Aadhaar has become one of the most important documents in India.
Today, it is linked with several government and private services to make verification easier and more secure.
Now, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) and state governments are encouraging people to link their Aadhaar card with their Driving Licence (DL) and Vehicle Registration Certificate (RC).
The move aims to make transport services more transparent, secure, and completely digital.
Here’s why this linking is important and how you can complete the process from home.
Why Is Aadhaar Linking Important?
Linking Aadhaar with your Driving Licence and RC offers several benefits.
The government says the initiative will help:
Make transport services transparent, secure, and cashless.
Prevent fake and duplicate driving licences.
Enable contactless e-KYC services without visiting the RTO.
Speed up online transport-related services.
