Getting a driving licence in Nepal has become more systematic than before. The new licence has electronic chips that contain information about the driver’s identity. Since 2015, the department has started distributing digital smart licences, eliminating the system of traditional paper licence. During those times, the traffic police would issue the licences the job has been taken over by the Department of Transport Management since its establishment in 1984. To get through the hustle and bustle of the cities like Kathmandu, a private vehicle has become essential, and, with that, a valid driving licence becomes essential too.Īccording to historical records, Nepal issued its first driving licence in 1921 to Gopal Khopase while the first woman to get the licence was Machhari Chitrakar in 1952.
