Rajiv Pokharel, Director General of Transport Management Department, has said that they are urgently providing driver's license within twenty-four hours to those who need it.
"This service is not only for security personnel, going for foreign employment," he said, "This facility is available for others as well, for that, they have to sign the application provided by the department, and for that, the person himself has to attend the department." Although it was decided by the
committee that states will print licenses from July, it has not been implemented. "There are 2.3 million old licenses left to be printed till July, for this we have signed a memorandum of understanding with Security Printing Press," he said, "we will print all these licenses, now the features are being made for printing, it is in the process of completion, we have received information that all licenses will be printed within three months." He said that when the traffic police cut the ticket, it will be cut digitally and the payment will be done digitally, he said.
"Some people come saying that they only need print, so we are going to print and distribute all the old ones until July," he said, "Then the provinces will manage to print in their own way." He said that although preparations are being made to start working from July, the system is being made. He said that no one came to take the 200,000 licenses that had been printed earlier.
In the 'Vehicle and Transport Management Act, 2049', the license period is five years, but its period has been increased to 10 years. Director General Pokharel said that the driver's license should be renewed after 10 years. "Since almost everyone has a smart license now, its lifespan is 15 years," he said.
