Nepal has dozens of Transport Management Offices (Yatayat Byabastha Karyalaya) spread across its 7 provinces, and since provincial governments took over day-to-day management, addresses, phone numbers, and even office websites have shifted from what older guides list. Below is a working directory of major offices by province — enough to find the right office and a way to reach it, whether you're applying for a licence, collecting a printed card, or handling vehicle registration.

Tips Before You Visit Any Office
- Confirm the specific service first. Larger cities split licence and vehicle/bluebook services into separate offices — going to the wrong one wastes a trip.
- Bring your token slip or application receipt. Most in-person queries, especially about a delayed print status, move faster with your exact application number in hand.
- Check print status before travelling for card collection. Use our homepage checker first — cards are only dispatched to the specific office where you tested, and confirming beforehand saves a wasted visit.
- Try official websites or Facebook pages if calls don't connect. Government office phone lines can be busy, especially in the morning; most offices post notices online even when the phone doesn't pick up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which transport office should I visit to collect my printed licence?
Only the specific office where you originally applied and tested — licence cards are dispatched to that exact office, not to any office of your choosing. Check your print status first to confirm which office it's been sent to before making the trip.
Can I do driving licence work at any transport office, regardless of province?
Generally, licence-related services can be handled at a licence office within the province where you applied, since licence records are centrally digital. Vehicle registration, bluebook renewal, and ownership transfer, however, must be done at a transport office in the province where the vehicle itself is registered.
Why do some offices have separate licence and vehicle (bluebook) sections?
Larger cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara split driving-licence services and vehicle/bluebook services into separate physical offices to manage volume. Always confirm which specific office handles the service you need before visiting, since going to the wrong one means a wasted trip.
Do transport office phone numbers actually get answered?
Coverage varies a lot by office and time of day — some lines are frequently busy during peak hours. If a call doesn't go through, check the office's official website or Facebook page for notices, or try again outside peak morning hours.
Has my nearest transport office changed since provinces reorganized?
It's possible. Provincial governments have taken over management of transport offices in recent years, and some office names, websites, and jurisdictions have shifted as a result. If a listed office or link seems outdated, check your province's transport ministry website for the current version.
Office addresses, phone numbers, and websites are sourced from official and publicly available listings and can change without notice as provinces continue to reorganize services — this page is not an official government publication. Always confirm details with the specific office before travelling.
