The good thing is that to get a drivers license, you do not need to worry about visiting the RTO office. Whether you are getting a license for the first time or want to renew an old license, you can apply online from home.
The method of applying for a license may be slightly different in different states but the main process is almost the same. There are four types of licenses made in India, which are Learning License, Permanent Driving License, Commercial Driving License and International Driving Permit. The process to apply for these may be different.

To get a learner’s license sitting at home, one will have to give ‘Online LL Test (STAL)’ on the Sarathi portal after the stipulated time of submitting the application. In this test, questions related to traffic rules are asked and after completion of the stipulated time, if you pass the test, you get a learner’s license. This license is available sitting at home but after this one has to go to the RTO office and take a test to get a permanent driving license. The fee for getting the license may vary from state to state depending on the type of license.
