How to Link Aadhaar Card with Driving License?

Linking aadhaar with driving license could curb the increasing incidents of duplicate and fake driving licenses. UIDAI and the Central Government of India are now planning to make it a mandatory process of linking aadhaar with driving license, as claimed by a recent report. The linking of aadhaar with driving license will collect all the personal information of the person in the system, and hence, it will eliminate the instances of duplicate driving licenses in the country. For example - a person guilty of committing a crime can flee the scene and apply for another driving license. If the aadhaar card of the person is linked with his driving license, the system will alert the authorities and instruct them not to issue a duplicate driver's license to the person.
