Form 1A Medical Fitness Certificate Online — Valid for Every RTO in Uttar Pradesh
Getting a Form 1A signed used to mean tracking down an empanelled doctor near your RTO.
Now, a registered doctor reviews your case online, and if you're fit to drive, you get a signed Form 1A in the standard government format — ready to upload to your Sarathi application or submit at your UP RTO.
Do You Actually Need One? Quick Check
Before you apply, confirm this applies to you:
- You're 40 or older and renewing a driving licence (any vehicle class)
- You're applying for or renewing a commercial/transport licence — taxi, truck, bus, auto, e-rickshaw — regardless of age
- You're applying for a learner's licence and you're above 40
- Your Sarathi application specifically lists “Medical Certificate (Form 1A)” as a pending document
- You have a declared medical condition (diabetes, epilepsy, significant vision loss) your RTO wants assessed
Form 1A Across Uttar Pradesh's RTOs
UP has one of the largest vehicle populations in India, and its RTOs are organised by district — from UP-32 (Lucknow) and UP-78 (Kanpur) to UP-16 (Noida) and UP-14 (Ghaziabad) in the NCR belt. Because Form 1A is a central government format under the Motor Vehicles Rules, it's identical across every one of them:
Western UP / NCR belt
Noida (UP-16), Ghaziabad (UP-14), Meerut (UP-15), Saharanpur (UP-11)
Central UP
Lucknow (UP-32), Kanpur (UP-78), Bareilly, Moradabad
Eastern UP / Purvanchal
Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Prayagraj
Bundelkhand
Jhansi and surrounding districts
Whichever district your application sits in, a Form 1A issued through PulseQuik works the same way it would if you'd collected one from a clinic near your local RTO.
If You Drive for a Living
Uttar Pradesh has one of the country's busiest commercial and freight corridors, and this is where Form 1A stops being optional — it's required for every transport/commercial licence holder, regardless of age.
If you're a truck driver, taxi or auto operator, or e-rickshaw driver renewing or applying for a commercial licence, you'll need this certificate assessed against the same fitness criteria (vision, hearing, general medical fitness) as any other applicant.
How to Apply
Submit your application
Fill in your basic details and your Sarathi application number or existing driving licence number if you're renewing, along with any relevant medical history.

Doctor consultation
A registered doctor reviews your application and, where needed, connects with you directly to assess your fitness to drive — covering vision, hearing, and general physical and mental fitness.
Receive your certificate
Once the doctor is satisfied you meet the fitness criteria, your Form 1A is signed, stamped with the doctor's registration details, and sent to you digitally as a PDF.
If the Doctor Needs More Information
If your case needs a closer look — say, supporting documentation for a reported vision or hearing issue — our team will contact you by phone or WhatsApp to request it before the certificate is finalized.
Frequently Asked Questions
My vehicle is registered in Ghaziabad (UP-14) but I live and applied in Noida — does that matter?
No — Form 1A isn't tied to a specific RTO code or district. It's a standard central government format accepted the same way across every RTO in UP, regardless of where your vehicle or application is registered.
I drive an e-rickshaw / auto — do I need this even though it's a small vehicle?
Yes. Form 1A applies to commercial and transport vehicle licences of any size, not just heavy trucks and buses — the requirement is based on the licence category (transport), not the vehicle's size.
Can I upload this directly to my Sarathi application, or do I need to visit the RTO?
You upload the signed PDF yourself, in the document section of your Sarathi application, or hand a printed copy to your RTO if applying offline. We don't submit it to Sarathi on your behalf.
Will an online consultation be accepted, or do I need an in-person exam?
A registered doctor can conduct a valid consultation remotely under India's telemedicine guidelines and issue a signed certificate. What matters to your RTO is that it follows the standard Form 1A format with a genuine doctor's registration number and signature.
I wear glasses or have diabetes — can I still get certified?
In most cases, yes. The doctor evaluates your overall fitness, and well-managed or corrected conditions are routinely certified fit, often with the correction noted on the form.
How long does it take?
Most applications are reviewed within a few hours, though this depends on whether the doctor needs more information from you.
Don't Let a Pending Form 1A Hold Up Your Sarathi Application
Whether you're renewing a private licence or your commercial licence is tied to your livelihood, get assessed by a registered doctor and receive your Form 1A digitally.
Certificate issuance is subject to medical assessment. Processing time can vary depending on the information provided and doctor availability.
