Driving License: Transport Commissioner Umesh Joga has given instructions to start this software prepared in collaboration with the National Informatics Centre (NIC) as a pilot project.

Driving License: To make the driving license renewal process more secure and transparent, the Transport Department has decided to implement an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based face verification system in the faceless facility. Applicants renewing their licenses after the 15-year validity period will now be required to submit their faces for verification.

Frauds will be stopped

Under the new system, AI software will match the face of the current applicant with the photo on the old driving license. This will ensure that the person who obtained the license 15 years ago is the same person now applying for renewal. This move is expected to effectively curb fraud and mistaken identity.

Transport Commissioner Umesh Joga has directed the launch of this software, developed in collaboration with the National Informatics Center (NIC), as a pilot project. It will begin at the Bhopal Regional Transport Office (RTO).

70 lakh driving licenses in the state

Madhya Pradesh currently has approximately 7 million driving licenses, and approximately 600,000 new licenses are issued each year. In the future, a large number of renewals will be required, making it challenging to identify the correct person based on old photos. This step is being taken.

This initiative was taken in response to the increasing incidence of cyber fraud. Implementing AI-based face verification will make the license renewal process more secure, faster, and reliable, while also increasing administrative transparency.

This is the online process of renewal.
