If you haven’t yet linked your mobile number to your driving license, you can now do it easily from home in just a few minutes.
Earlier, you had to visit the RTO office, fill out forms, and wait in long queues. But under the Digital India initiative, this process has become completely online and much simpler.
Why Linking Your Mobile Number Matters
Many people wonder why linking their number is important. In fact, connecting your driving license with your mobile number gives you direct access to several online services like:
License renewal
Address updates
Checking license details
If you face any issue while driving, you’ll receive OTPs and RTO notifications instantly.
Without a linked mobile number, accessing these services or getting alerts becomes difficult.
Steps to Link Your Mobile Number
You can link your number in just a few simple steps:
Visit the official Transport Department website or your local RTO’s portal.
Select ‘Update Mobile Number’ or ‘Link Mobile Number’ option.
Enter your driving license details and other required information.
Provide your mobile number and generate an OTP.
Enter the OTP to complete the process successfully.
???? If the OTP is delayed or the site shows an error, try again after a few minutes. Always use your personal number and never share the OTP with anyone.
Benefits of Linking Online
Get all license updates and renewals directly on your phone.
Easier recovery if your license is lost or stolen.
Protect yourself from fraud, as services stay active only on your mobile.
Save time and money — everything is done online without visiting the RTO.
Stay Updated with New Rules from November 1
From November 1, several new regulations are coming into effect, including changes in banking, Aadhaar, and GST.
It’s important to keep your documents updated. Linking your mobile number to your driving license ensures you stay informed and can access new services easily.
Even if the website is slow or the OTP takes time, stay patient and enter your correct details.
This small digital step can save you from major problems and make all your license-related services instantly available on your phone.
