The driving license is an administrative document that gives the right to a person to legally drive a vehicle on public roads. A driving license not only authorizes an individual to legally drive on public roads but is also used as proof of identity, age, and address in non-driving contexts. It is an equivalent of other forms of personal identification documents like Aadhaar cards, passports, PAN, Voter IDs, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But with the advent of time, counterfeiters\/fraudsters are becoming smart as they are utilising duplicate\/forged driver licenses to dodge the identification process. A driving license is one of the most easily forged documents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rise of Fake\/Duplicate Driving Licenses<\/h2>\n

Government data estimates that every third driving license in India is a fake document.\u00a0<\/span>The Road Transport and Highways Minister \u2013 Nitin Gadkari said in Parliament that about 30% of driving licenses in India are fake. Out of 18 crore driving licenses, an estimated 5.4 crore of them fall under the \u201cbogus\u201d category.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Fake or duplicate driving licenses can lead to a substantial increase in identity theft causing an imminent threat to a business\u2019s reputation and financial assets \u2013 especially in industries such as Shared Mobility, Delivery & Logistics, Transportation, and much more. It is difficult to identify spurious and falsified driving licenses with the naked eye.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
