Common Driving License Upload Errors & Fixes
Avoid common paper feed errors, scaling mistakes, and upload rejections:
Uploading Front Side Only
RTO portals require verification of vehicle class endorsements (LMV, MCWG, TRANS) located exclusively on the back side. Submitting only front causes application rejection.
Exceeding 200KB Portal Attachment Size
Parivahan Sarathi server refuses file attachments exceeding 200KB. Use our automated slider to compress the unified sheet down to 150KB.
Camera Flash Glare Blinding DL Number
Smart card optical holograms reflect camera flash directly into the lens, obscuring the DL number. Take photo under diffused overhead room lighting.
Back Side Uploaded Inverted / Sideways
Uploading upside-down or sideways images prevents automated OCR verification by RTO systems. Use our 90-degree rotate tool before merging.
Frequently Asked Questions
Comprehensive technical, print lab, and operational answers
Q1.Why do I need to merge both sides of my Driving License onto one PDF?
The Parivahan Sarathi online portal, State RTO web portals, and vehicle insurance companies only allocate a single upload field for "Proof of Driving License". Both the front (identity & validity) and back (vehicle classes & endorsements) must be present on that single file.
Q2.What is the maximum allowed file size on Parivahan Sarathi?
Parivahan Sarathi typically enforces a strict maximum file size of 200 KB (or 500 KB in certain state RTO instances) for PDF and JPEG uploads. Our merger guarantees output files between 120KB and 180KB.
Q3.Can I use this merged PDF for motor insurance claims?
Yes. Leading insurance providers (Digit, Acko, ICICI Lombard, Bajaj Allianz, New India Assurance) require a clear single-page document showing both sides of the driver's license during accident and third-party claims.
Q4.What vehicle class endorsements are shown on the back side?
The back side lists vehicle entitlement categories such as MCWOG (Motorcycle Without Gear), MCWG (Motorcycle With Gear), LMV (Light Motor Vehicle - Cars), LMV-TR, or TRANS (Commercial Transport), along with their authorization dates.
Q5.Is it safe to merge my Driving License on this tool?
Yes. Your document images are processed entirely in client-side browser memory (RAM). Nothing is uploaded, saved, or analyzed on any external cloud server.
Q6.Can I merge an older laminated paper DL or only new Smart Cards?
You can merge any driving license format—including newer microprocessor smart cards, digital Sarathi mParivahan/DigiLocker screenshots, or older booklet-style paper licenses.
Q7.Can I download the output as an image instead of a PDF?
Yes. In addition to a single-page PDF, you can export the merged canvas as a high-resolution JPEG or PNG file under 200KB.
Q8.Will this document be accepted by self-drive car rental companies?
Yes. Self-drive car rental services (Zoomcar, Revv, Myles) and airport rental agencies accept this single-sheet document for quick digital KYC onboarding.
Q9.How do I ensure the DL number and chip details remain sharp?
Keep the resolution set to 200 or 300 DPI and enable the contrast boost toggle. This preserves sharp edges around embossed text, the smart chip, and barcode strips.
Q10.Can I print this single-page PDF on regular paper?
Yes. The document is formatted for standard A4 paper. Printing at 100% scale yields exact 1:1 true-size replicas of your smart card suitable for offline submission.
