Driving License PDF

POST

Driving License PDF API — Turn an Indian driving licence number and date of birth into a printable driving licence document. Send the licence number and receive a pdf_url pointing at a ready-to-print government smart-card / A4 PDF of the licence, laid out as the physical card and carrying the holder photograph, name, parent or spouse name, date of birth, blood group, address, issue and expiry dates, the authorisation to drive with each vehicle class and its date of issue, the issuing authority, the state licence face and a scannable QR record. The response is the document link only — this endpoint sells the licence document, not the fields. If you need the licence data as JSON to read programmatically, use the Driving License Verification endpoint; if you need both in one call, use Driving License Text and PDF. pdf_url is an empty string in the rare case where a document could not be produced, so check it before following the link. Generated documents stay downloadable for a limited time — fetch and store the file promptly rather than holding the link. Built for driver onboarding, KYC and branch verification, insurance and claims files, and any workflow that needs a printable licence.
