Request to Retrieve Confiscated Driver Documents from District Traffic Office

The District Traffic Office has urged the public to collect 8,982 driver-related documents, including driving licenses, that have been confiscated and are currently under their control. According to the traffic violation record system implemented since 2080 B.S., drivers who have not paid fines are required to retrieve their documents within 10 days.

Failure to collect these documents within the stipulated 10-day period will result in suspension of the driving privileges for up to one month, as per Subsection 5 of Section 164 of the Vehicle and Transport Management Act. (April 15, Chitwan)

The District Traffic Office has requested the general public to reclaim driving licenses and related documents that have been confiscated in connection with traffic violations. Following the implementation of the Traffic Violation Record System in 2080 B.S., a total of 8,982 documents have been collected from various locations.

According to Chief Police Inspector Anil Thapa of the office, this system has facilitated the collection and management of these documents. Drivers who have yet to pay fines or have not done so within the designated timeframe are instructed to retrieve their documents within 10 days. These documents primarily include driving licenses, vehicle registration books (blue books), and route permits.

Although some documents were destroyed due to fire incidents, the office has clarified that affected individuals can apply for reissuance by submitting recommendations and paying the necessary fees. In the current fiscal year alone, 2,248 documents have been seized, prompting the office to introduce this new policy.

The office further emphasized that if documents are not collected within 10 days, the driver’s license will face suspension for up to one month in accordance with Section 164 of the Vehicle and Transport Management Act, 2049 B.S.
