The Transport Department has partnered with the Karnataka Postal Circle to provide expedited delivery services for documents such as driver’s licence (DL) and registration certificate (RC) using speed post.

Recently, the two departments entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to provide services within the ‘Book Now Pay Later’ framework.

According to officials from the Transport Department, this initiative will encompass 67 Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) across the State. The delivery of DLs and RCs within this scheme will be facilitated by the Postal Department through speed post.

A official from the Transport Department said, “The Postal Department will gather the RCs and DLs directly from the premises of the 67 RTOs. The reservation process will be channelled through a centralised speed post account that has been established at these 67 RTOs. Once the DLs or RCs have been taken for the doorstep delivery, people can track the delivery progress via the postal portal.”

Every month, the Transport Department intends to issue 5 lakh smart cards from these 67 RTOs, all slated for convenient doorstep delivery via the Postal Department.

Meanwhile, the Transport Department is poised to broaden the scope of automated and computerised driving testing tracks in key RTOs across the State. This expansion aims to enhance the process of conducting driving licence tests by integrating advanced technology into the testing process, according to officials.
