Introduction<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The government of Nepal has long struggled with inefficiencies in transport management, particularly in issuing driving licenses. Currently, individuals who pass the license assessments receive a temporary slip, which serves as a provisional license until their official “Smart License” is ready.<\/p>\n
However, the wait for the Smart License is unpredictable and often extends for years. In some cases, the five-year renewal period expires before applicants even receive their licenses.<\/p>\n
