How to Fill Form 1A Medical Certificate: Step by Step
Form 1A has two distinct parts: the applicant declaration (which you fill) and the medical examination report (which the registered medical practitioner fills after examining you).
This walkthrough covers what goes into each section, common mistakes that cause RTO rejection, and what to double-check before you leave the doctor's office.
Quick facts
- Section 1, Applicant details: your name, parent's name, address, age, occupation, and identification number (typically Aadhaar). You fill this.
- Section 2, Self-declaration: you declare you do not suffer from listed conditions (epilepsy, vertigo, mental disorder, etc.).
- Section 3, Medical examination: the doctor records vision, hearing, BP, height/weight, urine examination, and a general physical assessment.
- Section 4, Doctor's certification: the doctor states whether you are medically fit to drive, signs, dates, and stamps the form with their registration number.
- Two photographs (passport size) are typically pasted, one for the applicant copy, one for the RTO copy.

Sections 3 and 4 are completed by the medical practitioner during and at the end of the examination. You should not fill these even with the doctor's permission, that's the legal purpose of Form 1A.
Clear guidance and an application flow designed for real-world acceptance.

Trust, legitimacy & privacy
Clear answers to the questions people have before paying.
Two parts, two signatories
You sign the applicant declaration; the doctor signs the medical certification. Both are required.
Match name spelling exactly
Form 1A name should be character-for-character identical to your Sarathi application, RTOs reject mismatches.
Doctor stamp matters
The form needs the doctor's signature, name, registration number, and clinic stamp. Missing any of these can cause rejection at upload.
