Driving License Test Results Now Available Through SMS

February 14: The Department of Transport Management (DoTM), the government body authorised to issue driving licenses, has initiated a new system to inform the people about the results of their driving license test and information on the status of smart card through SMS.

Lawanya Kumar Dhakal, director general of DoTM, and Arvind Sah, managing director of Sparrow SMS, signed an agreement to this effect amid a recent ceremony organized at the DoTM head office in Minbhawan, Kathmandu.

Inaugurating the system, Dhakal expressed confidence that use of ICT will be very effective in informing license aspirants about the test results and license printing status.

The DoTM said in a statement that it had begun distribution of smart driving license from December 2015. The department has also recently started an online application process for driving license in Nepal.

The initiation of the SMS service for showing driving license results for written tests and driving license status is expected to benefit the service seekers who no longer have to visit the DoTM office to see the result and get the information for the license status.

The department expects the new service to end long queues in transportation offices for getting simple information. People can receive the information by sending SMS to 33001 for just Rs 5.

To check the result for the written test, service seekers will have to type ‘WT <space> [Application ID number]’ and send it to 33001. Similarly, to check the printing status of smart driving license, service seekers have to type ‘LC <space> [Application ID Number]’ and send it to 33001.

On an average, around 3,000 people apply for smart driving license on every working day, the department said.
