Imphal, June 21, 2025: In a significant step towards digital governance and citizen convenience, the Directorate of Transport, Government of Manipur, has announced the upcoming implementation of electronic Driving Licences (eDL) and electronic Registration Certificates (eRC).
The initiative, aligned with the Digital India Mission and guidelines issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, aims to reduce the need for physical visits to transport offices while making vital documents easily accessible to the public.
Both the eDL and eRC will be issued in a secure, self-printable PDF format, fully legally valid under the Motor Vehicles Act, and can be accessed anytime via DigiLocker and mParivahan apps. Citizens will no longer need to worry about reprinting or physically collecting these documents from the Transport Department.
