Make the files on your phone

  1. Pick the form

    Open BharatScanner, go to Tools › Forms and pick Driving licence (Sarathi Parivahan). It lists every upload: Photograph, Signature and Supporting documents.

  2. Make the photograph

    Tap Photograph and take a photo against a light wall, or choose one from your gallery. The frame already has the form's shape.

  3. Add your signature

    Sign on plain white paper, then tap Signature and take a photo of it, or choose one from your gallery.

  4. Add the documents

    For each document, scan the paper (an ID card front and back on one page) or pick one from your documents.

  5. Let it check

    BharatScanner makes each file within the form's limits and checks it on your phone: file format, file size, pixel size and face size, sharpness and light in the photo. Anything off shows up as a warning before you upload.

  6. Send the files

    Each file is named after its upload, like photo.jpg. Save them, or send all the ready files to WhatsApp in one tap.

Rules kept current
