How to check if your Nepal driving license is printed

The quickest way to verify your smart card status directly from the official DOTM (dotm.gov.np) print list.

  1. 1
    Have your license number ready

    Your old license or exam receipt shows a number in the format XX-XX-XXXXXXXX — the first two digits are the office code, the next two are the district code, and the last eight are your personal number.

    Example: 01-01-12345678
  2. 2
    Enter the number in the search box above

    Hyphens are inserted automatically — just type the digits. If you mistype, hit the clear button and try again.

  3. 3
    Press “Check Status”

    We match your number against the latest list published by DOTM and return the result in a few seconds.

  4. 4
    Read the result

    “It’s Ready” means your smart card has been printed. “Not Ready” usually means the latest list hasn’t included it yet — check back in a few days.

  5. 5
    Collect it from your transport office

    Bring your Citizenship card, old driving license, and payment receipt to the transport office where you applied.

It’s printed on your old smart card license, on your exam receipt, or on the temporary slip your transport office gave you when you applied.

Your Citizenship card, your old driving license (if you have one), and your payment receipt. Bring them to the transport office where you applied.
