Form 1A Certificate in Chennai — Online in 30–45 Minutes

Visit easymedicalcertificate.com, select "Form 1A Certificate", and fill the form with your name, age, driving licence number, vehicle class (LMV, HMV, or transport), and your TN-01 to TN-22 RTO details. Pay ₹999 securely via UPI, card, or net banking, and an NMC-registered MBBS/MD doctor reviews your case and conducts the required eye, hearing, and general fitness assessment under Central Motor Vehicle Rule 5. Your signed Form 1A — carrying the doctor's name, NMC registration number, and digital signature — is delivered directly to your WhatsApp and email within 30–45 minutes. No clinic visit is required anywhere in Chennai, and the certificate is ready to upload on the Parivahan portal or submit at your TN-01 to TN-22 RTO office the same day.

Yes. Under the Motor Vehicles Act 1988 and the MoHFW Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020 (GSR 225(E), Gazette of India), Form 1A must be signed by a Registered Medical Practitioner holding a valid National Medical Commission registration number — the law does not require that examination to happen in person. Our NMC-registered MBBS/MD doctors meet this requirement, and every certificate they issue displays their name, NMC number (independently verifiable at nmc.org.in), qualification, and digital signature. Certificates issued this way are accepted at TN-01 to TN-22 RTO offices and all other RTOs across Chennai for personal driving licence renewal, fresh licence applications, and commercial vehicle licence applications, and can be uploaded directly on the Parivahan.gov.in portal. Applicants aged 40 and above, and all commercial licence applicants, require Form 1A as a mandatory part of the application regardless of the licence category being sought.

The NMC-registered doctor assesses your visual acuity (eyesight), colour vision, hearing ability, cardiovascular fitness, blood pressure, and absence of conditions that impair safe driving — including epilepsy, severe hypertension, or limb disability. This follows Central Motor Vehicle Rule 5 and Form 1A requirements.

Form 1A certificate is priced at ₹999 — a flat, all-inclusive fee covering the online doctor consultation, Form 1A assessment, certificate issuance with NMC registration number, digital signature, and delivery via WhatsApp and email. No hidden charges.

Within 30–45 minutes of completing payment, in most cases. Form 1A takes slightly longer than a standard certificate because it requires a structured medical assessment: you complete a questionnaire covering vision, hearing, colour perception, and any existing medical conditions or disabilities relevant to driving; an NMC-registered doctor reviews those responses and conducts the online assessment; the doctor completes and digitally signs the Form 1A in the exact format prescribed under the Motor Vehicles Act 1988; and the signed certificate reaches your WhatsApp and email as a PDF. You can upload that PDF directly to the Parivahan.gov.in portal or print it for submission at the RTO counter. The service runs 8 AM to 10 PM IST, 7 days a week including public holidays. Applications made after hours are processed the following morning, as soon as the panel doctors resume consultations.

Our panel includes 500+ NMC-registered MBBS and MD doctors across India. Each doctor's credentials are verified against the National Medical Commission registry at nmc.org.in. The issuing doctor's name, NMC registration number, qualification, and digital signature appear on every Form 1A — so the Chennai RTO can independently verify the issuing doctor.

A Form 1A driving licence medical certificate is typically valid for 30–90 days from the date of issue (check your specific RTO requirements). It must be submitted at the RTO during the driving licence renewal or fresh application process. For commercial vehicle licences, annual renewal of Form 1A may be required.

Important caveat: Tamil Nadu RTOs — including Chennai offices TN-01, TN-09, TN-22, TN-20, and TN-75 — typically require Form 1A to be issued by a government-empanelled doctor or from a government hospital. Private NMC-registered doctors are generally not accepted for Form 1A submissions at Tamil Nadu RTOs. We recommend verifying with your specific RTO before applying through our platform.

If your TN RTO requires Form 1A from a government-empanelled doctor, you will need to visit your nearest government hospital (e.g., Government General Hospital, Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital, or a Civil Surgeon office) for the Form 1A assessment. Our platform is currently not able to guarantee Form 1A acceptance at Tamil Nadu RTOs. We apologise for any inconvenience.
