This page compiles publicly available Transport Department information as of August 2026. Fees, test slots, and rules can change — always check current details on sarathi.parivahan.gov.in before applying.

Residents of Udakishunganj and Madhepura district can apply fully online for a driving licence for two-wheelers or four-wheelers. The process happens in two stages — first a Learner's Licence (LL), then a permanent driving licence at least 30 days later — with the test requiring a visit to the Madhepura District Transport Office (DTO).

Official source: the Parivahan Sewa portal — sarathi.parivahan.gov.in — handles applications, test slot booking, and status tracking for both learner and permanent licences.

How to get a Learner's Licence (LL)

  • On sarathi.parivahan.gov.in, select "Driving Licence Related Services", choose Bihar as the state and your district (Madhepura)
  • Fill in applicant details and upload age proof and address proof
  • Upload a photo and signature, then book an online LL test slot (a simple online test based on traffic rules)
  • Pay the fee online — on passing, the LL is issued immediately

Permanent driving licence

30 days after getting the LL (and within 6 months), you can apply for the permanent licence. On the portal, enter your LL number and date of birth, fill the form, upload documents, pay the fee, and book a driving test slot. A visit to the Madhepura DTO office is mandatory for the driving test and original document verification.

Keep in mind: you may need to bring your own vehicle for the test — this varies by office, so confirm with your DTO beforehand. Once issued, a digital copy of the licence can also be kept on DigiLocker or the mParivahan app.

The bottom line

Both learner and permanent licence applications start online, but the test and verification require a DTO visit. For other identity-document needs, see our Aadhaar update guide.
