The government is going to issue separate licenses for drivers who have passed the pilot test of driver’s license from Shrawan (mid July).

The Department of Transportation is about to issue a separate card with a QR code for the first one-year period after passing the trial. Earlier, preparations were made to issue such a card from June, but it was postponed for two months due to the Corona epidemic. Director-General of the department Namaraj Ghimire informed that a separate PVC card with QR code is being introduced and it can be used for a trial period of one year.

According to him, the driver who has passed the trial will be given a smart license only after one year and a license with a QR code will be issued for that period. Stating that the traffic will check the driver’s license based on the QR code, he said, “Traffic will know all the necessary details of the driver on the card through its mobile phone.”

The department believes that such a card will reduce traffic violations. Traffic has made more than five holes in the card and after one year, smart driving will not be allowed and the license test will be re-introduced.

Along with this, the department will now distribute two types of driver’s licenses. A provisional period will be provided to the drivers who have passed the trial and a smart driver’s license will be distributed to the drivers who have passed the trial period.

He said, ‘PVC cards do not have a chip like a smart license. PVC cards have a barcode. The barcode contains all the details of the driver. ‘After scanning the barcode, the police find out whether the license is fake or genuine.Similarly, such cards will be distributed to the persons who have applied for renewal of driver’s license till they get a new smart license.

Director-General Ghimire said that it was not a trial period due to the use of chips in smart cards. These cards will be distributed from 19 offices of the Department of Transport Management across the country including Kathmandu.

Getting a license can be the most rewarding thing. Before earning the license one should know the procedure. What to do and where to go are important things.

 

First of all :

Before giving trail practice at local learning centers. Be confident in yourself.

Visit the office or fill the form online:

Applicants may file a request online and verify the date of the written review. If the application has been submitted, the method shall have a specific reference number and other necessary information, which shall be drawn upon the date specified by the Transport Management Office when sitting for the written review.

You can submit the online form from this link below: 

http://www.dotm.gov.np/

This is closed for now due to the pandemic.

OR

You can get two forms at the DoTM office, just outside the premises. One is a driving license form and the other, both available for Rs 25, is a medical examination form. All forms, with all the essential data, would have to be completed and submitted for further processing at any other time as this service has been closed for the last six month due to Covid pandemic. 

 

The first step (Appear for eye test)

Meanwhile, we need to appear for a color blindness eye examination where 4-5 cards with dotted colored numbers will be revealed to us. The number written on the cards, we need to say.

We go to counter number 7 to pay the Rajaswa until the eye test is confirmed.

The second step (Appear for the written test)

On the day of the written test, early in the morning at 6:00 a.m reach Yatayat Karyalaya (may change due to corona). Questions like basic riding, traffic rules, things to do in an emergency may be asked. You can prepare these questions through applications found in the apple store or android store. The results will be published on the same day. If you pass the writing test, you need to arrive at your next trial that is trying the next day.

The third step (Give the trail)

So this is the main course of the food. The one that you practiced to earn the license. The trial involves the following :

• An 8 path that needs to be crossed without touching the outskirts.

• Once 8 is completed a straight lane comes and you need to climb on.

• A small mistake can cost your license so, always look for traffic lights, when it turns green take a left turn using the left side light

• You will reach a slope that you need to stop and control your bike with only your one leg on the ground.

• After completing the “ukalo and oralo ” finally slowly you should pass the speed breaker in order to complete the trail.

If you pass, you will be declared right away. The policeman on duty will hand you the card signed. After 7 days, you need to visit Yatayat Karyala and go to room 2 to pay Nrs. 1500 Rajaswa. However, if you fail, you have the allowance to appear for the trial three times within 90 days if you have passed the written test.

Fourth step( Collect your driving license)

After a period of 30 days, you can re-visit the Yatayat Karyalaya to receive your Smart Driving License Card.

Make sure, you practice enough in driving training centers and do not ignore any part of the standard design. Read the driving book and get all your documents ready. 

You will be told when your license can be issued. You briefly get a slip before your smart driving license card is ready to qualify you for driving. You can drive with the slip, so when it gets loaded, you must keep the slip secure for you to retrieve yours.

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”.
