Many licence holders in Nepal are reporting that their recently renewed driving licence still shows the old expiry date inside the Nagarik app, creating confusion during roadside checks.
Steps to update your renewed licence in Nagarik app
- Refresh the licence section Open the Driving Licence section in the Nagarik app and pull the page down to refresh. This prompts the app to fetch the latest licence data from the server.
- Unlink and link again if needed If the old details still appear, first unlink the already‑added licence from the same section. Then link your driving licence again by following the on‑screen steps. The system should then pull the most recent renewal details.
After these steps, your new validity date should appear on the digital licence shown in the app.
Effect on traffic checks
Many users worry that an expired date in the app could lead to trouble during traffic police checks. In practice, this technical display issue is not expected to seriously affect roadside inspections, as it comes from the app’s sync process rather than your actual renewal status.
