Types we support
Choose the closest match so the certificate format and wording fit your use case.
Identity and application
Your name, date of birth and Sarathi application number must match what you entered on Sarathi. A spelling difference between the certificate and the application is the most common cause of a mismatch.
Existing licence for renewal
Keep your DL number and date of birth ready. The doctor records them so the Form 1A is tied to the right licence.
Health and medicines
The health declaration asks about fits, fainting, diabetes on insulin, heart conditions, limb problems, and alcohol or drug dependence. If you take medicines for diabetes, blood pressure or the heart, keep the list handy for the call.
Eye-test report or prescription
The doctor checks vision in each eye and may ask for an eye-test report or a photo of your prescription. Have it on your phone before the call.
