How to check smart licence printed list online on dotm.gov.np?
Enter your driving license number in the XX-XX-XXXXXXXX format in our search tool above and click “Check Status”. Our system instantly searches across 1,000,000+ official DOTM printed records and shows whether your card is printed and ready for pickup at your local transport office.
Can I check my driving license print status by citizenship number or name?
Currently, the Department of Transport Management (DOTM Nepal) publishes the printed license list strictly by Driving License Number (XX-XX-XXXXXXXX). Direct search by citizenship number or applicant name is not supported on the public print list due to privacy protection. You can find your license number on your exam pass slip, payment receipt, or old license card.

Enter your license number in the search box above and press “Check Status”. If your record appears in the official DOTM list, the page will show “Card is Printed & Ready” with complete details.
