Karnataka Driving Licence PVC Card

Get a Karnataka driving licence PVC card made from your own licence file. It costs ₹50 a card, is printed in 1 day, and is a firm, wipe-clean copy for your wallet.

## A practical card for city and highway drivers

Karnataka drivers range from Bengaluru commuters stuck at signals to truckers on the Mysuru, Hubballi and Mangaluru routes. Both can run into the same problem: the licence in the wallet is worn, and the one on the phone is not always at hand. A PVC card gives you a stiff, readable copy in the size of a bank card, printed from the file you already have.

## What the picture is

The licence card in the image was drawn to show where things go. The person, the photo and the licence number are invented. Your order is printed from your upload alone, so none of it carries across.

## Features at a glance

• PVC card, 85.6 by 54 mm, rounded corners.
• Front and back printed in colour.
• ₹50 a card, 1 to 10 cards at a time.
• No delivery charge on orders above ₹999.

## How the Karnataka Transport Department organises licence information

The Transport Department, Government of Karnataka runs transport.karnataka.gov.in in Kannada and English. Its pages describe how to apply for a new driving licence and for a learner's licence, and they carry licence-related forms, a fees page and a driving licence report. Those pages help when you need to apply or pay. For a copy of a licence you already hold, the file route is quicker.

## Which file to use

Pick one of these, in this order of preference.

• A PDF from DigiLocker, which is complete and sharp.
• A PDF or page printed from Sarathi after you select Karnataka.
• A pair of clear photos of the card, taken in daylight.

## Kannada text on a licence

If your licence has lines in Kannada as well as English, we print what the file shows, so the card will match the file line for line. In that case make sure the photo or PDF shows both. Do not crop the edges in a gallery app before uploading.

## Reading the licence

Start with your name and date of birth, then the number. A Karnataka licence number begins with KA, the state code, followed by the RTO code, the year and a serial. Then check the validity dates and the vehicle classes: LMV is a car, MCWG a motorcycle with gear. Anything wrong on the licence has to be corrected by the transport authority before you print.

## Ordering a Karnataka driving licence PVC card

To order pvc driving licence cards from Karnataka, follow these steps.

• Choose how many cards.
• Attach the PDF, or one image per side, keeping every file within 50 MB.
• Type the PDF password if there is one.
• Pay online.

## After payment

We read the file before printing. When it will not open, we may phone you, so please give a number that works. The card is printed in 1 day and travels flat to your address in 5 to 8 days, whether that is in Bengaluru, Belagavi, Kalaburagi or a coastal town.

## For riders and drivers who work

If you drive or ride for an app, a courier or a logistics firm, your employer may ask for a copy of the licence at joining or at renewal. A PVC card is easier to show than a phone screen. Keep the file on your phone for uploads, and keep the card for physical checks.

## Search words you might have used

You may have typed pvc driving licence karnataka, ka driving licence pvc card or karnataka licence card print. The result is the same here: your own licence, copied onto PVC at a fixed price.

## What a Karnataka driving licence PVC card does not do

It does not renew your licence, add a class or fix a wrong date. Those jobs belong to the transport department. A Karnataka driving licence PVC card only gives you a better copy of what the licence already says. If your plan is to change something, finish that first, download the new file and then order.

## Cost and quantity

The price is ₹50 a card, whether you order one or ten, and there is nothing to set up. Some drivers order two, one for the wallet and one for the vehicle's document pouch. A family with two or three drivers can put every licence in a single order, as long as there is a file for each holder.

## How to look after the card

Keep it in a card slot, not loose in a pocket with keys. If it gets dirty, wipe it with a soft damp cloth. Do not leave it on a hot dashboard. Treat the PVC copy as the card you use daily and the original as the document you protect.

## A spare PDF

Keep your licence PDF safe in your email and phone. If you lose the card, you can reorder. The guide to saving licence and RC files from DigiLocker shows one way to get it.

## Private copy notice

GiftKida copies your own licence onto PVC. The card does not come from the Transport Department of Karnataka and cannot replace your licence. Details are never edited, and we do not ask for a password or an OTP.
