📖 How to Find Your License Number

Not sure where to find your license number? Here's a step-by-step guide based on how DOTM Nepal processes applications. Your license number follows the format: XX-XX-XXXXXXXX (e.g. 02-14-89173037).

1

📄 Check Your DOTM Application Receipt

When you applied at your local DOTM office, you received a receipt or acknowledgment slip. Your license number (format: XX-XX-XXXXXXXX) is printed clearly on it. This is the most reliable source.

2

📘 Check Your Old Booklet License

If you have your old paper booklet license (before smart card), your license number is printed on the front page. The same number applies for the smart card check — it does not change.

3

🔢 Understanding the Number Format

The first two digits are your district code (e.g. 02 = Kathmandu). The middle two are your office code. The last 7–9 digits are your unique license number. Example: 02-14-89173037.

4

📱 Use the DOTM SMS Service

If you have your license number but are unsure of the format, SMS LC <number> to 33001 from any Nepali network. DOTM will reply with your official status. See the SMS section above.

5

⏳ Not Found? Check the Update Date

DOTM publishes printed license lists periodically — not daily. Check our "Last Updated" date in the stats bar above. If it doesn't match your expected batch, check back in a few days. Batches from different districts are uploaded separately.

6

🏢 Visit Your DOTM Office Directly

For official confirmation and to collect your smart card, visit your nearest transport management office during working hours (typically Sunday–Friday, 10 AM–4 PM). Bring your original citizenship certificate and application receipt.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
When is the database updated?▼
We update our database whenever DOTM Nepal publishes new PDF lists of printed licenses. Check the "Last Updated" date in the stats bar above. If you applied recently, give it a few days and check again.
Why does the result show my name automatically?▼
Your name is pulled directly from DOTM's official records matched to your license number. You don't need to type your name — we retrieve it from the printed license database automatically when a match is found.
My result shows "Not Found" — does that mean it's not printed?▼
Not necessarily. There are two possibilities: (1) Your license hasn't been printed yet, or (2) Your district's batch hasn't been imported into our database yet. Always try the official SMS service (33001 or 31003) for a definitive answer from DOTM directly.
I applied for an additional category later — will it show?▼
Yes! If you first got Category A (motorcycle) and later added Category B (light vehicle), both records will appear in your results when the new category's printing batch is available. Our database supports multiple records per person.
What does "Category A, B" or "B, J2" mean?▼
These are your license categories. A = Motorcycle, B = Light Vehicle, J2 = Microbus, etc. See the "License Categories" accordion above for the full legend. Having multiple means your smart card covers all those vehicle types.
How do I use the SMS service?▼
Open your Messages app, create a new SMS to 33001 or 31003, and type: LC 02-14-89173037 (replace with your license number). Send it from any Nepali network. Standard SMS charges apply. DOTM will reply with your status.
Is this an official DOTM or government website?▼
No. This is an unofficial, free public service built to make DOTM's publicly published PDF data easier to search. All data is sourced directly from official DOTM PDF publications. For any official matters, always visit dotm.gov.np directly.
My license is printed — when can I collect it?▼
Once your status shows "printed," your smart card is ready. Collect it from your application DOTM office during working hours (Sunday–Friday, 10 AM–4 PM). Bring your original citizenship certificate and application receipt. Cards are usually ready within 1–2 weeks of printing.
