Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about checking Nepal driving licence print status.

How can I check my driving licence print status in Nepal?

Enter your driving licence number (format: XX-XX-XXXXXXXX, e.g. 03-03-89135314) in the search box at the top of this page and click "Check Now". You'll instantly see whether your licence has been printed — no login, no date of birth required. This is also called laisensh print check or laisens status check in Nepali.

What format is a Nepal driving licence number?

Nepal licence numbers follow the format XX-XX-XXXXXXXX — two digits, a hyphen, two digits, a hyphen, and 7–9 digits (example: 03-03-89135314). The search box auto-formats as you type, so you can enter all digits without hyphens and it will correct itself.

How long does it take to print a driving licence in Nepal?

Typically 2–4 weeks after you pass your trial (practical) exam and complete document verification at DOTM. Processing time varies by office and current batch workload. Chabahil, Ekantakuna, and Radhe Radhe are among the busier offices that may take slightly longer during peak periods.

My licence number was not found. What should I do?

First, double-check your number format (XX-XX-XXXXXXXX). If still not found, your smart card may not have been printed yet — check back in 3–5 days. You can also visit the official DOTM website or your nearest Transport Management Office with your token slip for the most up-to-date status.

Is LicensePrintCheck.com an official government website?

No. LicensePrintCheck.com is an independent tool that makes it easier to search publicly available DOTM print records. The official government website is dotm.gov.np. For legal verification or official disputes, always refer to DOTM directly.

Can I check my licence status without visiting the Transport Office?

Yes. Enter your licence number here and get an instant result — no office visit needed just to check status. If printed, you will see your name, licence category, issuing office, and print date. You will only need to visit the office to physically collect the printed card.

What details appear when my licence is found?

When your licence is found, you will see: your full name, licence category (e.g. A, B), the issuing Transport Office (e.g. Chabahil, Ekantakuna), and the print date. Click "View full details" for complete information.

Nepal Driving License Print Status — Complete Guide

After passing your driving trial exam (trial pariksha) in Nepal, your smart card licence enters a printing queue managed by the Department of Transport Management (DOTM, यातायात व्यवस्था विभाग). This tool — often searched as laisensh check, laisens print check, or driving license tayari bhayo ki bhayena — lets you verify the status instantly without calling the Transport Office.

How DOTM Licence Printing Works

Once you clear your trial and submit documents at your Transport Management Office (TMO), DOTM batches applications and sends them to the central printing facility. Completed cards are dispatched back to each office. The process typically takes 2–4 weeks but can vary by office and batch volume.

Key offices and their coverage areas:

  • Chabahil — central Kathmandu valley
  • Ekantakuna — southern Kathmandu, Lalitpur
  • Radhe Radhe — eastern Bhaktapur area
  • Thulobharyang — western Kathmandu
  • Chitwan, Pokhara, Biratnagar — provincial offices

What to Bring When Collecting Your Licence

When your status shows "Printed", visit your issuing Transport Office with:

  • Your original token slip (receipt from application)
  • A valid government-issued photo ID (citizenship card or passport)
  • Your trial licence (if issued)

Alternative Ways to Check Licence Status in Nepal

Besides this tool, you can also check via:
