What is Sarathi?

Definition

Sarathi is the Indian government’s national driving-licence database. Its API allows instant verification of a driver’s licence validity, class of vehicle, and status, supporting driver background checks.

Why it matters for Indian fleets

Verifying drivers via Sarathi before hiring or assignment reduces the risk of unlicensed or fraudulent drivers operating commercial vehicles.

How to verify a driving licence on Sarathi

Open the official mParivahan app, or the Sarathi service on parivahan.gov.in.
Enter the driving-licence number and the driver’s date of birth.
View the licence validity, the classes of vehicle the driver is authorised to drive, and the issuing RTO.
Fleets verify many licences automatically through the Sarathi API instead of checking each one by hand.
