  18. Sir,

    I recently moved to Pune to pursue higher studies. I brought my scooter (Honda Activa) to Pune last week.

    I will be in Pune for the next 2 years after which I will be moving back to Kerala along with my scooter. I do not want to change the registration number of my scooter as I'm taking it back to Kerala in 2 years. What are the procedures I should follow to use my scooter in Pune for the next 2 years without any trouble?
    Is it enough to get an NOC from Kerala and pay the road taxes? Please help!

  20. Your license was taken form sub RTOffice, Koduvally. But due to some error the details of this license is not entered in the computer system. Motor Vehicle department was fully computerised by the year 2007. The task of entering earlier license and registration details in the data base of the computer system was entrusted with the Kudubasree. This herculian task was done in systematic manner. But it has been found that some license details and some registration details are still remaining to be entered in the system. Now these details are being entered when the original licenses or registration certificates are produced before the respective offices.So I think that you can get the correct details entered at Sub RTOffice, Koduvally showing your original license there.(Your father will have to go in person and show the original license to the officers there and get the details entered in the date base.). After getting the correct details entered, if you apply for a duplicate license you will get a laminated card license.

    1. If you have a valid driving license issued by UAE authorities you can take a license in Kerala without undergoing driving test. A circular of transport commissioner in this regard has been published in this site with the title circular NO 2000. Please go through it. As per the circular a person who holds valid driving license of a foreign country is required to take learning license only. Such persons are exempted for learning period and drivers test. So if you take learner's license you can immediately get a driving license without waiting for learning period or without under going drive'rs test

  22. Hello Sir,
    At the outset my compliments for running a blog like this which is immensely popular and very useful.
    I have two questions :
    1. I moved to Trivandrum in May 2013 and brought my car too along. I have obtained NOC from Chennai RTO favouring Trivandrum RTO. i need to register in TVM and need new number incorporating Trivandrum address. Can I file my application for these issues online ? I do not find the link fr the same . What are the formailities - forms, etc. Will Fastrack be of any use to me ?

    2. I have a licence ( car and two wheeler ) issued from Chennai. Need to change the address ( trivandrum address ). NOC not taken from Chennai. hw do I go about ?

    regards

    1. The license number can be searched and found out from the data base of the computer system form where you took the license. For that you can contact the P.R.O of the office from where you took the license. If you give them your date of birth, details of all the licenses issued to persons with that date of birth can be retrieved. From that your license can be identified based on the name and address of the holder of the driving license.

    1. It means that your license is not included in the data base of the motor vehicles department. In such a case you will have to give your license to the office from where the license was issued and get it entered in the system.
      Then you can apply for adding another class of vehicle to your existing license

  48. What are the formalities to be complied with when a bus is sold along with route permit

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. You cannot sell a bus with route permit without the permission of the concerned Regional Transport Authority. If you sell the vehicle without the said permission your permit will become ineffective from the date of sale of the vehicle. Usually when bus with a route permit is sold, the sale is kept as a secret and permission is obtained from the Regional Transport Authority for transfer of permit. Only after getting the permission for transfer of permit the sale of the bus is made public. So you also apply for transfer of permit before selling the bus, or before issuing the sale letter of the bus. If any more clarification is required please feel to communicate it to me so that I can give suggestion about the matter.

I took my licence in 1999 and in Jan 2013 I added Badge to this certificate. But when checking by sumitting correct licence number and date of birth, details are not showing. It says "this licence is not authenticated" Could you please comment on this. Thanks! Jobin

    1. I think this license is issued from Sub R.T.Office, Guruvayoor. For getting it included at Sub R.T.Office, Thaliparamba you will have to apply for noting change of address.
      This application has to be filed in white papaer along with attested copy of address proof as stipulated in Central Motor Vehicle Rule 4. The total fee for noting change of address is Rs 250/- A

  71. Hi Johnson,
    I appreciate the prompt response you are providing to all readers of your blog. I am working at Hyderabad. I have three questions.
    1. Date of birth on my driving license has by year wrong. How can I get it corrected? All my other documents including passport have the correct date.
    2. I have a paper license with me which I want to change it to card. Is that possible without word duplicate on the card?
    3. My company requires that I get a international driving license. I have valid passport and visa. Am I required to be present personally at RTO for this.

    1. 1.You can get your date of birth corrected if you apply before the Licensing Authority from where you took your license with an attested copy of the document to prove your correct date of birth.
      2.You can convert it into a card license without the word duplicate if you apply for a card license.
      3. Your presence at the R.T.Office form where you intent to take international license is necessary as R.T.O is required to satisfy himself of your proficiency in driving which enables him to issue you an international license.

  72. sir,
    My name is Binu krishnan and iam living in trivandrum. I got driving license from tvm rto a year ago. On the back of the license it is written that 'she is licensed to drive throughout india...' instead of a 'he'. Iam very sad about this and asked many people about how to correct it. Many people said it is impossible to correct, some says go online but there is no option for gender, some say its not a prblm as others have eyes. But i continue to search the net for a remedy. What made it so late is because iam staying in college hostel tamil nadu. So havent got time to go to rto . Finally i found a place and iam requesting you sir to please help me.

  81. Hello sir, I traveled in an autoriksha from trichur town to mannuthi junction. Before starting the journy i asked to driver about the fair and he told it based on the kilometer and i thought its meter charge. And he put the meter before journy and after reaching mannuthi the meter showed 6.8 km and fair was Rs 58. He asked me for Rs110. But i refused to give and he told it based on kilometer charge and that is 15 rupees per kilometer. I told i will give only meter charge and i told if u have any problem we will go to police station. And we went to police station and the police man told the actual fair should be meter charge plus half of the meter charge. It was a new knowledge for me. And the police man told meter charge is only inside the corporation area. At last after some conversation i forced to give Rupees 90 to him. My doubt is the autofair meter charge is only in city area? or beyond city is there any difference in fair charge?

    1. The easiest method is to download form 29 (two copies) and form 30 part I and part II from the site keralamvd.gov.in, sign it by you and forward it to your wife along with an authorisation to appear before the R.T.O/ Jt. R.T.O for transferring the ownership of the vehicle. After the vehicle is sold the purchaser can apply transfer or ownership online from any akshaya kendra and if necessary, your wife can contact the concerned R.T.O/ Jt. R.T.O and speak for you. Actually the owner of the vehicle need not be present in the office while applying for transfer of ownership of a vehicle. Please go through my articles on transfer of ownership and guidelines for submitting applications online for getting more information.

  87. For driving a private auto rickshaw only three wheeler license is required.But if you intent to drive an auto rickshaw intended to carry goods or passengers you need a badge also. Badge is an authorisation to drive transport vehicles. Transport vehicle is a vehicle used for hire or reward. Hope it is clear

    ReplyDelete
  94. You will have to take NOC from the concerned R.T.Office in Punjab and apply for transfer of ownership and assignment of fresh registration mark in the RTO./SRTO within whose jurisdiction your place of residence in Kerala is located. Details regarding this can be obtained from the link http://www.rtoffice.com/2013/10/assignment-of-new-registration-mark-to.html and http://www.rtoffice.com/search?updated-min=2014-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2015-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=1. For further details you may log on to the site owned by kerala Motor Vehicles Department keralamvd.gov.in. Olive green colour cannot be painted on private vehicles as it is the colour of the military vehicles. Any other colour can be painted after getting permission from the concerned office in the Kerala Motor Vehicles Department.

    1. Hi, It is better you travel after getting registration certificate. As the status is printed, you meet the head of the office and inform your problem. He will definitely make arrangements so that you will get your R.C without any further delay. When you travel R.C, insurance certificate,tax token and driving license are required. As this is a new vehicle pollution under control certificate is not required

Kindly help me know about the format for the affidavit and the details.
