Lost your Indian Driving License :: How to get Driving License reissued

Have you ever lose your drives license, if not then very good but if u have then you are among those who have lost it. For example ME- I’ve lost my Drivers License twice, I know this does not say anything about me being responsible but it has happened and I’m not very proud about. Well first time I lost my license it was in my wallet, which I dropped somewhere lost the whole thing. And the second time when I lost my License was well a really stupid and careless mistake on my part. To cut the long story short I lost it at the airport where I show my License as a photo ID proof at the airlines check in counter .

Well now as it lost and I can’t find it anywhere, I’ll need to apply fro a new one, and it’s going to be a hassles.

Getting a reissued license is not difficult if you know what you need to do and if have patience to deal with the government agencies like the police and the RTO.


STEP 1>> First thing you have to do is to file an lost report to a police station near to the place you lost your license.
STEP 2>> You need to goto the Regional Transport Office (RTO) from where your license was originally issued, in my case it would be East Delhi RTO and submit a copy of the Lost Report and a form LLD.

Once the authorities have verifies all the details from their records, a duplicate license will be issued to you, the valid period will be same as the previous license.

I will also advice you to keep a photocopy of the original license or at least all the particulars of the license such license no. etc, this will help the issuing authority to locate your particulars from their records.
