FAQs
Does the certificate need to be printed and submitted physically?
Yes. For RTO submission, print the certificate and attach it to your DL renewal application. The Sarathi portal also accepts scanned copies for online DL renewal in most states.
Is the Form 1A accepted at all state RTOs?
Yes. The Motor Vehicles Act is a central act, and Form 1A from any registered MBBS/MD doctor is valid at all RTOs across India under Central Motor Vehicles Rules 1989, Rule 5.
I am under 40 and renewing a private car licence. Do I need Form 1A?
No — Form 1A is only mandatory for applicants aged 40+ renewing a non-transport licence, or for any transport/HMV licence. If you are under 40 with a private licence, no medical certificate is required for renewal.
