A Learner’s License is a temporary 6-month document issued by the
RTO (Regional Transport Office) authorizing individuals to learn to drive motor vehicles on public roads. It requires passing an online or in-person test on traffic rules and is mandatory before obtaining a permanent license, which can be applied for after 30 days.
Key Aspects of RTO Learner’s License:
- Validity: Valid for 6 months from the date of issue.
- Application Process: Can be done online via the Sarathi Parivahan portal or offline at the RTO.
- Requirements: Applicants must be 18 or older (16+ for motorcycles under 50cc without gear).
- Test: Involves an online MCQ-based test (STALL Test) covering traffic regulations, signs, and safety.
- Documents: Proof of age, address proof, photograph, and medical certificate (Form 1 & 1A).
- Rules: While driving, the vehicle must display the letter 'L' (red on white background) and be accompanied by a licensed instructor.
If the license expires, a renewal is required at the RTO.
