Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay on Wednesday (September 2, 2026) announced the introduction of a facility to digitally download driving licences and vehicle registration certificates on the day of completion of the driving test and vehicle registration, respectively.
Mr. Vijay said the government would introduce ‘Anywhere Registration/Licensing’ of vehicles in a phased manner for driving licences and vehicle registration. The facility would enable people to obtain licences and certificates from any Regional Transport Office (RTO) in the State.
Making a suo motu statement in the Assembly, he said the facility to download the certificates would come into force across the State from September 15. The objective, he said, was to ensure corruption-free and transparent administration and avoid delays in obtaining driving licences and registration certificates.
At present, driving licences and registration certificates with chips are sent to applicants, and delivery takes between one week and one month. The digital facility would enable applicants to download the documents without having to wait for them to be delivered.
Government departments and other bodies would be able to scan the QR code and verify the certificates. The facility would also enable people to download licences and certificates if their original documents were lost or damaged.
