Update Mobile Numbers on Vahan, Sarathi Portals
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in India has asked all vehicle owners and driving licence holders to update their mobile numbers on the Vahan and Sarathi portals.
This is important because many online services, like renewing your vehicle registration or getting a new driving licence, need a working phone number.
If your number is old or wrong, you might not be able to use these services.
To update your number, you need your registration certificate or licence and your new mobile number.
For vehicles, you go to the Vahan portal, enter your registration number and part of your vehicle's ID, then add and verify your new number.
For driving licences, you use the Sarathi portal, enter your licence details, and verify your new number.
Keeping your number updated helps you get important alerts and makes the transport system work better.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways urges all vehicle owners and driving licence holders to update their registered mobile numbers on the Vahan and Sarathi portals.
An updated mobile number is essential for accessing digital services like vehicle registration, document renewal, ownership transfer, and driving licence applications.
Vehicle owners can update their mobile number on the Vahan portal by entering their registration number, chassis details, and verifying the new number via OTP.
Driving licence holders must update their details on the Sarathi portal by selecting their state, entering their licence number, date of birth, and verifying the new number via OTP.
Outdated or incorrect mobile numbers can lead to failed OTP verifications, incomplete applications, and loss of access to key online services.
