Hyderabad: Information Technology and municipal and urban development minister KT Rama Rao on Wednesday launched the much-awaited m-Wallet, a mobile application developed by the Telangana Transport department. The mobile app allows motorists to download one’s driving licence and registration certificate (RC) of a vehicle on a smart phone. This will facilitate motorists to carry e-versions of the two documents instead of physical copies.

Though presently only driving licence and RC can be downloaded, KT Rama Rao said soon motorists would be able to download and store the Pollution Under Check certificate and insurance papers of their vehicles.

The m-Wallet app will be a one stop digital shop for all documents issued by the Transport department. Salient features of the app lets one auto-fetch and share documents, have all the documents on one screen and add multiple vehicles owned by a single person. Documents once downloaded will be saved for future use on the application. The minister directed officials of the Transport department to bring all documents of the department under the ambit of the app so that motorists can store them in electronic form that can be shown to enforcement authorities on demand.

The traffic police on the other hand has been given another app that allows them to cross-check whether the e-documents being shown by a motorist are genuine or not.
