Online Form 1A Fitness Certificate in Andhra Pradesh
For lorry, bus and cab licences, added classes and renewals after 40.
Andhra Pradesh has a huge trucking trade, from Vijayawada's transport hubs to the ports at Visakhapatnam and Kakinada. If your licence application needs Form 1A, you can start your online Form 1A fitness certificate in Andhra Pradesh here.
A registered doctor reviews your details and completes the form only if they can assess you and find you fit.
We don't promise a deadline. Uncomplicated requests are often reviewed in around 40 minutes.
Lorry, Bus and Cab Drivers
Getting a transport licence usually means submitting Form 1A with your learner's licence application. The same often applies when you add a heavy vehicle class.
Renewing at 40 or Older
Even for an ordinary car or two-wheeler licence, renewals once you're 40 usually need Form 1A. Plan it close to your renewal date, as the form is only valid for a limited period.
What the Doctor Will Want to Know
- Any eyesight problems, glasses or recent eye tests

Long Hauls on NH16
Lorry drivers from Andhra Pradesh cover huge distances on the Kolkata to Chennai highway, often through the night. Tiredness is one of the biggest risks on these routes. If you snore loudly, wake up tired or nod off during the day, tell the doctor. These can be signs of sleep apnoea, which affects driving and can be treated.
Cab and Auto Drivers Joining Apps
Many people in Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Guntur and Tirupati start driving for ride apps or tour operators. Carrying paying passengers needs a transport licence, and that application needs Form 1A. If you already have a private licence and want to add a transport class, you'll need it then too.
Hearing and Colour Vision
You need to hear horns and sirens and tell red from green at signals. If you've noticed hearing loss in one or both ears, or if you've ever been told you're colour blind, mention it. The doctor will ask questions and may suggest a test before deciding.
A Cab Driver in Vijayawada
A driver in Vijayawada with a private car licence wants to start driving for an app. They apply for Form 1A, mention they wear glasses for distance and take medicine for mild diabetes, and upload a recent sugar report.
The doctor asks about blurred vision, numbness in the feet and any episodes of low sugar. The answers are reassuring and the sugar is controlled, so the doctor completes Form 1A. The driver uploads it with their transport licence application on the Sarathi portal.
What You'll Need
- Your current licence or learner's licence number
- The vehicle class you're applying for

- Recent reports for diabetes, BP or heart problems, if you have them
