Most Kerala applicants get stuck because their Form 1A isn't uploaded to Sarathi/Parivahan + Kerala MVD Portal (mvd.kerala.gov.in). We handle the entire process — doctor assessment, certificate generation, and direct upload to Parivahan.

Did you know?
Kerala has the highest driving licence density per capita in India, making Form 1A processing volume one of the highest nationally — the state's 14 district RTOs collectively handle lakhs of renewal applications annually.
Local tip for Kerala
Kerala MVD offices accept digital Form 1A through the Parivahan portal. Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi applicants should verify their RTO zone.
Avoid these — they delay your licence application by weeks.
Getting Form 1A from a local clinic
Kerala RTOs no longer accept physical certificates submitted at the counter. Your Form 1A must be uploaded digitally to Sarathi/Parivahan + Kerala MVD Portal (mvd.kerala.gov.in).
Uploading to the wrong slot on Sarathi/Parivahan + Kerala MVD Portal (mvd.kerala.gov.in)
The Parivahan portal has multiple document upload fields. Uploading Form 1A to the wrong slot causes your application to be flagged or rejected by KL RTOs.
Name mismatch between Form 1A and Parivahan application
Even a small difference in spelling between your Form 1A and your Parivahan profile (e.g., initials vs full name) can cause rejection. We cross-verify before issuing.
Expired or undated Form 1A
Form 1A should not be older than 6 months when submitted. Many applicants get a certificate early and forget to submit it in time.
