The state government has announced that they will be implementing drastic changes in the issuance of driving licenses and registration certificates. In accordance with the guidelines set by the Union Ministry of Roads and Transport, the state transport department will introduce a new type of driving license and registration certificate that will incorporate digitization, including a QR code and chip. These features will contain vital information about the licensee, ensuring that the personal identity and other necessary information are readily available.
Starting from next April, motorists will be able to obtain this new type of driving license and registration certificate. The state government has already selected a private organization to oversee the creation of these licenses and certificates, and a contract will soon be signed between the two parties. Despite this private agency's involvement in the process, the ownership of these documents will remain with the state government.
Many may be concerned that the cost for this new type of driving license and registration certificate will be significantly higher than the current rate. However, the good news is that the additional cost will only be around 200 taka, making it an affordable option for most.
Once an application is submitted, the state government will verify all the information before sending the new driving license and registration certificate directly to the applicant's home. According to experts, this move will generate significant revenue for the state government, with an estimated earning of ten to twelve crore rupees.
The introduction of the QR code and chip technology will provide immense benefits for motorists. One of the most significant advantages will be the ease with which the police can extract all necessary information from the license. This move will undoubtedly reduce the amount of grumbling about driving licenses and registration certificates with the police. Additionally, the use of fake driving licenses will be significantly reduced, which will lead to a safer driving experience for all motorists.
Overall, the state government's decision to implement these changes in driving license and registration certificates is a significant move towards a safer and more efficient driving experience for all motorists.
