The Department of Transport Management (DoTM) has suspended the online application registration for a driving license due to the second wave of the coronavirus.

Issuing a public notice on Tuesday, the department shared that the online registration of new applications for the driving license will be suspended until further notice effective from Thursday (April 29).

“We’d like to apologize for the inconvenience caused,” wrote Loknath Bhusal, spokesperson for the department.

DoTM had brought a new arrangement to end the bigotry of middlemen in the online application.

The department brought a new arrangement saying that there is a problem when ordinary service recipients try to apply online as the middlemen take money from the customers and upload several forms at once.

According to the department, with the implementation of this policy, it will be possible to apply for a license only once a day from a computer, laptop or mobile.

Displays a notification saying 'Use another machine' if you try to apply for more than one application from one device.

According to Gagan Bahadur Hamal, director-general of the department, such arrangements have to be made as brokers have been applying for licenses online for a long time.

He said that the move was taken after a complaint was lodged with the department saying that there was a problem with the server as the middleman was loading many applications on the website at the same time.

The new driver's license will not be opened for another two months. The discussion has moved ahead in such a way that if the service, which has been closed for almost nine months, is reopened immediately, it will attract more service recipients and the infection may spread.

 

The Department of Transportation Management of the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport, in consultation with the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure of the state government, said that it should not be opened immediately. According to him, it is planned not to open the driving license during the months of January and February. "The decision will be made based on the situation after that," he said.

Spokesperson Dr. Lok Nath Bhusal said that there may be a large crowd of service seekers if it is opened immediately as it has been blocked for a long time. Although the examination and distribution of new licenses are done by the state government, the printing and its 'online system' are done by the department.

That is why the state government will issue new licenses only in coordination with the department, he said. He said that many service recipients have asked the department to understand when the license will be opened.

The states are also of the view that immediate attention should be paid to health security rather than hasty opening. He said, "Even though the service recipients are in a hurry, both the federal government and the state government have decided not to open it now." The government had decided to impose a ban last April after the Covid-19 infection, which is spreading globally, started appearing in Nepal as well.

Government offices that had been closed for four months were reopened only in June. Although the transport office started renewal and distribution in June, they have not taken the exam for the new driver's license.

In the previous year, the service recipients did not get the license for a long time, but this year, the department has printed the remaining old license. The department had printed about eight lakh licenses from mass printers. Earlier, the service recipients did not get the license even after a long time, but now many have not been able to take the exam for the license even though they wanted to.

The vehicle training center is imparting training saying that the license will be opened soon.

Applicants for a new driving license has exceeded 500,000. Service recipients have filled up forms through transport management offices across the country to attend an examination for a driving license. The application for a new driving license was opened up in mid-December 2020 in coordination between the office under the provincial government and the department under the federal government.

According to the Nepal Constitution, responsibility regarding license has been shared between the federal and provincial governments. The Nepal government had handed over the concerned offices to the province government.

The government had adjourned the task of receiving applications for a new driving license since mid-March last year due to COVID-19 fear. Department’s Information Officer Dr. Loknath Bhusal said the flow was high as the application process for the license was held for a hiatus of 10 months before.

He further shared that arrangement has been made in a way to enable applicants to register their applications for 24 hours and all seven days. “The service recipients can submit an application for a license in their suitable time”.

Earlier, the Department had opened up online registration of application at a certain time. It was difficult for the service recipients to fill up the forms at once due to oversubscription.

Spokesperson Dr. Bhusal shared that trouble in submitting the application has been removed right now. “Complaints on the difficulty in registering the application for a license have gradually come down”.
