Get RTO letter from your RTO office through any of the driving school in your area.

In India, it is commonly referred to as DL Extract. You can check the below link for more details.

What was the reason for asking a letter?

1) Was your name on the license doesn't match your passport?
2) Picture on your license is not clear?

Personally, i went through the same situation as my indian license was NOT accepted. My last name shows only the first alphabet (instead of "abcdef", it is written as "a").

However, I found a way to sort this problem as I cannot wait for a year to get the license. Hence, I have written a request to Ontario ministry and provided all my documents which proves my name as legal one. I had to provide all the educational documents where my last name is the same as displayed in my license. This process took around 1-2 weeks before the decision is made and I was asked to go and give the road test ;D

Hi Stanlee,

Thanx for the help. Got some relevant info.

Hi Ttrajan,
do you mean RTO here in Toronto?

Hi Sivasagi,
No discrepancy in details. My license is 7 year old, just with shiny sticker as a stamp. They are expecting the smart card licenses with chips.
They did not consider my license as authentic.

thnx
Pulkit
