Quick facts

  • Blank format: download from the Parivahan website (parivahan.gov.in) or your state transport department portal. These are the official versions.
  • Completed Form 1A PDF: issued and signed by your registered medical practitioner. If you used an online Form 1A service, you typically download it from their portal after the doctor's review.
  • A valid completed Form 1A PDF must contain: your details, the medical exam findings, the doctor's signature, the doctor's full name and registration number, the clinic stamp, and the date of examination.
  • Digital signatures are accepted in many states for online-issued Form 1A. The PDF carries a verifiable e-signature from the doctor's digital certificate.
  • Avoid third-party sites that offer 'free Form 1A PDF templates', using a generic template that isn't filled by an actual doctor is not a valid Form 1A and is fraudulent.

Types we support

Choose the closest match so the certificate format and wording fit your use case.

The official Form 1A blank format is published as part of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules. State transport departments republish it on their portals; the format is essentially uniform across India.

Clear guidance and an application flow designed for real-world acceptance.

When you receive a completed Form 1A from a clinic or online platform, save the PDF in a safe place with a clear filename (e.g., Form1A-YourName-Date.pdf). You may need it for upload, RTO visit, and any later reverification.

Clear guidance and an application flow designed for real-world acceptance.

If your Form 1A was issued digitally, do not modify the PDF in any way (no OCR re-saves, no annotations). Any modification can break the digital signature and invalidate the document.

Trust, legitimacy & privacy

Clear answers to the questions people have before paying.

Source matters

Always download blank formats from official government portals or get completed forms from registered doctors / verified online platforms.

Don't edit signed PDFs

Once a Form 1A PDF is signed (paper or digital), any edit invalidates it. Get a fresh one if details are wrong.

Watch for fraud signals

Sites offering 'instant Form 1A PDF, no doctor visit required' are not legitimate. A real Form 1A always requires a doctor's examination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Written in plain language to reduce doubts.

Where can I download the official blank Form 1A PDF?
From parivahan.gov.in (Central Motor Vehicles Rules, Forms section) or your state transport department portal. Both publish the same official format.
Can I just download a Form 1A PDF online without going to a doctor?
No. Form 1A is a medical certificate that requires a clinical examination by a registered medical practitioner. Any 'completed' Form 1A you obtain without an actual examination is not legitimate.
Are digitally signed Form 1A PDFs accepted by RTOs?
The examining doctor submits Form 1A on Parivahan with their digital signature. Acceptance is determined by your RTO and the applicable state rules, so check your state's current checklist.
I downloaded my Form 1A but it doesn't have the doctor's stamp visible. Is it valid?
If it was a paper Form 1A, the stamp must be on the original physical copy. A scanned PDF should clearly show all signatures and stamps. If the stamp isn't visible, ask the issuing clinic to re-scan or re-issue.
What's the file size and format requirement for upload?
Sarathi typically accepts PDFs up to a few MB. If your PDF is too large, compress it using a reputable tool. But don't re-OCR or alter the content.
