If you are a professional driver or planning to operate a commercial vehicle such as a taxi, truck, bus, or goods carrier, obtaining a valid Transport License from the RTO is mandatory.

At RTO Agent Services, we provide complete assistance for applying for a new transport license, converting a private license into a commercial one, and renewing an existing license. Our process is smooth, legal, and hassle-free, ensuring you get your license without unnecessary delays.

What is a Transport License?

A Transport License, often referred to as a Commercial Driving License (CDL), is a legal authorization issued by the Regional Transport Office (RTO) that allows an individual to operate vehicles meant for commercial use. This license is mandatory for driving:

  • Goods carriers such as trucks, tempos, and pick-up vans

  • Passenger vehicles including taxis, auto-rickshaws, and buses

  • Special purpose vehicles like school vans, delivery vehicles, and cabs

Unlike a standard private driving license, obtaining a transport license requires meeting stricter conditions. These include enhanced driver training, thorough medical fitness checks, and compliance with higher road safety standards—since commercial drivers bear greater responsibility on the road.

Who Requires a Transport License?

To drive any commercial or transport vehicle, holding a valid commercial license is mandatory. You need this license if:

  • You are employed as a driver with a company or delivery platform.

  • You intend to drive a vehicle for hire, reward, or any commercial purpose.

  • You are operating passenger vehicles (like taxis, autos, cabs) or goods carriers.

  • You are applying as a driver with services like Uber, Ola, Zomato, Swiggy, or logistics companies.

Driving a commercial vehicle on a private license is strictly prohibited and can result in heavy penalties or suspension of your license.
