How to Check DL Application Status?

After applying for a new Driving Licence, DL renewal, or a duplicate driving licence, your regional RTO takes anywhere from 7 to 30 working days to process, approve, print, and dispatch your physical smart card. You do not need to physically visit the RTO office to know the status. The entire tracking workflow is centralized on the official Sarathi Parivahan Cloud.
