Hi everyone,

I managed to loose my wallet, which apart from some nominal amount, contained just the driving license. It happened last Thursday. I searched a lot at my home and at a lot of places, but could not find it.

I then went to my nearest police station and complained about the same and they gave me a certificate to say that it is indeed lost.

Now, the issue is that I reside at Bangalore, but the driving license (for both 2 and 4 wheeler geared vehicles) was issued to me at KK Nagar RTO office, Chennai during my stay there. I checked with RTO offices at Bangalore and they said that they can not help me procure a duplicate as the license was issued at Chennai. If I have to procure license here, it will have to be from the start, with me first getting a learner's and waiting for a month for the driver's. I have a problem there as I might end up going abroad for a brief period during the first week of Feb and I need a DL there to drive.

Another option for me is to go down to Chennai and procure a duplicate. I managed to talk to someone in KK Nagar RTO today, but they did not provide me any encouraging information. My knowledge of Tamil being not so impressive, I found it difficult to have a meaningful conversation with people over there. They were not willing to provide me a proper timeline by which they could issue me a duplicate DL. I do not mind driving down to chennai for the same, but if the process extends to more than a day, it is very difficult for me.

Considering all this, what is the best alternative for me? Is it any worth becoming a member of AASI or some body where I can get things done easier? Do let me know.

Thanks,
