Online Form 1A Fitness Certificate in Chhattisgarh
The medical form for transport licences, and for renewals once you're 40.
If your driving licence application asks for Form 1A, you can start your online Form 1A fitness certificate in Chhattisgarh here. A registered doctor goes through your health details and decides whether they can certify you.
It's a short process, but it's a genuine medical check. The doctor won't sign off on anything they can't assess.
Straightforward requests are sometimes completed in about 40 minutes. Your details and the doctor's assessment and availability set the real time.
What the Doctor Checks, Line by Line
Form 1A follows a fixed format. These are the areas the doctor gives an opinion on.
Eyesight
Whether your vision is good enough to drive, including reading a number plate from the distance the form specifies.
Red and green
Whether you can tell red and green apart, which matters for signals.
Night blindness
Whether you have trouble seeing in low light.
Hearing
Whether you can hear ordinary sound signals like horns.
Limbs and movement
Any loss of a limb, deformity or condition that could affect how you control a vehicle.
Are You Sure It's Form 1A You Need?
Most people under 40 applying for an ordinary car or two-wheeler licence only fill in a self-declaration, Form 1. Form 1A is usually needed when you apply for a transport vehicle licence, add a transport class, or renew your licence after turning 40.

Form 1A, if you qualify
If the doctor can certify you, the form is completed and shared digitally.
Coal Trucks From Korba
Thousands of trucks carry coal out of Korba and the other mining districts every day. Drivers work long shifts on dusty, busy roads. Coughs, back pain and tiredness are common. If you've had a cough for weeks or get breathless, mention it to the doctor.
Mine Vehicle Operators Are Different
If you drive dumpers or heavy machinery inside a mine, mining rules require their own medical examinations through the mine's medical system. Form 1A is for your road driving licence. Your mine may still need its own check.
Ghat Roads to Bastar
Bus and taxi drivers on the route from Raipur to Jagdalpur cross the Keshkal ghat, with tight bends and steep drops. Good eyesight, steady hands and quick reactions are essential. Tell the doctor if you've had dizziness, blackouts or fits, even once.
A Bus Driver's Renewal
A bus driver from Raipur turns 50 and needs to renew their heavy vehicle licence. They take tablets for blood pressure and had a cataract operation two years ago. They apply for Form 1A, share their latest eye test and BP readings. The doctor asks about headaches, night vision and dizziness. Everything is under control, so the doctor completes Form 1A.
Before You Apply
- Your licence number and the class you need
- Your latest eye test, especially after cataract surgery
- BP or sugar readings, if you take medicine
- Any history of fits, fainting or heart trouble
- A list of your regular medicines
Frequently Asked Questions
I wear glasses. Can I still get Form 1A?
Often, yes. Tell the doctor, and mention your current prescription. The doctor assesses your vision with your glasses on.
Will my RTO in Raipur or Bilaspur accept it?
We can't guarantee that. Check how your RTO wants Form 1A submitted, including whether it must be uploaded on the Sarathi portal.
Is Form 1A the same as Form 1?
No. Form 1 is your own declaration about your fitness. Form 1A is a certificate completed by a registered doctor.
How long does Form 1A stay valid?
Only for a limited period, so request it close to your application date. Your RTO can confirm the current validity.
How much does it cost?
₹649 onwards. You see the price before paying.
What if the doctor says I need an in-person check?
Then you'll need to visit a doctor locally. The online review can't replace an examination when one is needed.
I drive a dumper inside a mine. Is Form 1A enough?
No. Mines need their own medical checks. Form 1A is for your road licence.
I had a cataract operation. Can I still get Form 1A?
Usually yes, if your vision after surgery is good. Share your latest eye test.
I fainted once a few years ago. Should I mention it?
Yes. The doctor may ask a few more questions or for a report before deciding.
Can I apply from Korba or Jagdalpur?
Yes. Anywhere in Chhattisgarh works.
