Frequently Asked Questions

Is Form 1A issued online accepted by RTOs across India?

Yes. Form 1A medical certificates issued by NMC-registered doctors through telemedicine are accepted at RTOs across India. The Motor Vehicles Act 1988 requires Form 1A to be signed by a registered medical practitioner — defined as a doctor registered with the Medical Council of India (now National Medical Commission). Under the MoHFW Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020 (GSR 225(E)), NMC-registered doctors are authorised to conduct medical assessments and issue certificates including Form 1A remotely. Our certificates include the issuing doctor's full name, NMC registration number, MBBS/MD qualification, digital signature, and clinic stamp — all elements required by the Motor Vehicles Act. We have successfully processed Form 1A certificates accepted at RTOs in Hyderabad (TS-09), Bangalore (KA-01 to KA-05), Mumbai (MH-01 to MH-04), Delhi (DL-01 to DL-14), Chennai (TN-01, TN-22), and 100+ other RTOs across all 28 states and 8 union territories.

What are the vision standards required for Form 1A?

The Central Motor Vehicles Rules 1989 specify the following vision standards for driving licence eligibility assessed in Form 1A. For non-transport (private) vehicle licences: visual acuity must be at least 6/12 in the better eye and 6/36 in the worse eye with or without glasses; the applicant must not be colour blind for red and green colours. For transport vehicle licences (commercial drivers): visual acuity must be at least 6/6 in the better eye and 6/9 in the worse eye with or without glasses; colour vision must be normal (not colour blind for any standard traffic signal colours). Night blindness and progressive eye conditions that cannot be corrected are disqualifying. During the online Form 1A assessment, our doctor will guide you through a standard vision self-assessment. If there is any uncertainty about vision standards, the doctor will recommend an in-person ophthalmic examination.

Can I get Form 1A online for a commercial vehicle licence?

Yes. Form 1A for commercial vehicle licences — including Light Motor Vehicle Transport (LMV-T), Heavy Motor Vehicle (HMV), Public Service Vehicle (PSV), and medium goods vehicle licences — can be issued online by our NMC-registered doctors. Commercial vehicle drivers face stricter fitness standards under the Motor Vehicles Act including higher visual acuity requirements (6/6 in better eye), mandatory colour vision assessment, no history of epilepsy or blackouts, cardiovascular fitness, and no substance dependence. Our doctors conduct a comprehensive online assessment covering all these parameters. For first-time commercial vehicle licence applicants, some RTOs may require an additional in-person medical examination at a government-approved facility — this varies by state. Most renewals for existing commercial drivers are processed without issue using our online Form 1A certificate.

How long is Form 1A valid?

Form 1A medical certificate is valid for 1 year from the date of issuance under the Central Motor Vehicles Rules 1989. You must submit the Form 1A to the RTO within this validity period. For driving licence renewals, Form 1A must be dated within the validity window specified by your state RTO — most RTOs accept Form 1A dated within 6 months of the renewal application date. The certificate clearly states the date of issuance and the validity period. For commercial vehicle drivers who need annual renewal of their transport licence endorsement, Form 1A must be renewed every year. Easy Medical Certificate offers reminder service — we will send you a WhatsApp reminder 30 days before your Form 1A expires so you can renew it in time without missing your RTO appointment.
