What is License Print Check?
A license print check is an online verification that confirms whether your Nepal driving license smart card has been physically manufactured and dispatched to your designated Transport Management Office (TMO). It is the final milestone in the DOTM driving license process — after completing medical, written, and trial tests.
The Department of Transport Management (DOTM) periodically publishes PDF lists of printed licenses on their official website. LicenseStatus.Space automatically aggregates these lists into a single searchable database, letting you perform a license print check in seconds without downloading large PDF files.
The database currently holds over 1.1 million Nepal license print records from all major TMOs including Ekantakuna, Chabahil, Radhe Radhe, Thulo Bharyang, Sano Bharyang, Itahari, Morang, Bharatpur, and Butwal.
