Smart Driving Licenses Nearing Completion as Printing Accelerates

Kathmandu. There is good news for millions of service recipients who have been waiting for smart driving licenses for a long time. Overcoming the extreme shortage of smart cards and the slowness in printing, the Department of Transport Management and the Security Printing Center have brought the printing work to the final stage. According to the Security Printing Center, the printing of 1.57 million smart licenses has been completed so far.

As per the agreement with the department, the center was given the responsibility to print 1.2 million cards in the first phase and 1.7 million in the second phase. Of these, only a very small number of licenses are left to be printed, informed Gopal Raj Timilsina, deputy secretary at the center.
