The transport department in Uttar Pradesh, India, has introduced an online facility to allow residents to correct the date of birth (DOB) on their driving licenses through the Sarathi portal. This initiative aims to alleviate the challenges faced by individuals due to incorrect birth dates, which have caused issues during document verification for banking, travel, and other official purposes. To apply for the correction, applicants need to visit the Sarathi website, select Uttar Pradesh, and choose the option for driving license services. They must then provide their license details, select the DOB change option, upload one of three approved documents (a certificate from a recognized institution, a municipal birth certificate, or a certificate from the chief medical officer), pay a fee of ₹200, and book a verification slot at the ARTO office. The total fee increases to ₹400 if opting for a smart card license. The new system is expected to simplify the process for many license holders who have reported discrepancies in their recorded birth dates.
