Driving License API
Verify an Indian driving licence using the licence number and date of birth, returning authenticated holder details.
Overview
What the Driving License API does
Driving License verifies a licence number against transport department records, using the holder's date of birth as a second factor, and returns the authenticated details.
Requiring the date of birth is a deliberate safeguard. It stops someone verifying a licence number they merely happen to know, which matters when the licence is being used as identity proof.
