Accordingly a new version of driving licenses replacing which will be issued from the current chip based driving licenses might become invalid from July 1, 2019. Meanwhile this upcoming license card will be valid across India, where all states and union territories will issue the same kind of driving licenses. As per report this new driving license will come with a QR code and a chip.
Furthermore this new license will carry information on the card as usual, adding that they will carry information regarding the driver and the vehicle. Reportedly this microchip looks similar to the one present on ATM card and this feature will help the traffic cops to get all the information from the card. Reports added the work of traffic police is made simple with this development as they can scan this QR code based license with a simple Android mobile.
Moreover it is being reported that the upcoming QR code based driving license will hold a large amount of information about the driver numbering about 50 things. Hence these include name of the vehicle owner, name, address, date of birth, educational qualification, identification, mobile number, type of vehicle, date of issue, validity and much more and the license is going to be equipped with the NFC system. Perhaps the chip-based licenses are being issued, but they will become invalid once the new QR code format is rolled out.
