DL-01 Civil Lines/Mall Road RTO: Address, Phone, Timings & Services

DL-01 is the registration code for the Zonal Transport Office, North Zone, commonly referred to as the Mall Road RTO and located in the Civil Lines government complex. It handles vehicle registration, driving licences and related services for North Delhi. This page covers its address, contact details, jurisdiction and driving-test routing.

DL-01 is the registration code for North Zone's Zonal Transport Office, operating under the Transport Department, Government of NCT of Delhi. It is the licensing authority (Section 9) and registering authority (Section 39) under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, for North Delhi.

DL-01's catchment, per cross-checked independent sources, covers Civil Lines, Pratap Bagh, Kotwali, Bela Road, Mori Gate, Gulabi Bagh, Red Fort, Sarai Rohilla, Roop Nagar, Sadar Bazar, Shakti Nagar, Subzi Mandi, Kashmere Gate and Chandni Chowk — a broad swathe of North and Old Delhi.

PIN codes in the approved jurisdiction set: 110054, 110009, 110007. All three are genuine North Delhi PINs consistent with this catchment — 110054 covers Civil Lines itself, and 110007 covers the adjoining Kamla Nehru Ridge/Civil Lines-fringe area. Confirm your exact locality through India Post or Parivahan if you're near a boundary.

Online vs In-Person

A number of routine DL-01 services — registration-related applications, ownership transfer, duplicate RCs, and address changes — can be completed through Parivahan's faceless e-governance workflow without a counter visit. An in-person visit generally remains necessary for the practical driving test and commercial vehicle fitness inspection.

The Content Pack's research describes "33+ routine services" as fully faceless; we could not independently verify this figure, so treat it as a general direction rather than a confirmed current count — check the current service list on Parivahan before assuming a specific service is available online.

Driving Licence Testing

The DL-01 office is not where the practical driving test happens. The approved research points to the Shakur Basti ADTT or the Burari track, depending on assignment — both separate locations from the administrative office. We independently confirmed Shakur Basti as a genuine, currently operating Delhi Automated Driving Test Track elsewhere in this project's research.

We could not verify the exact rule for which candidates are routed to which track, so don't assume either location — confirm your assigned test venue through Sarathi when you book.

Commercial Vehicle Fitness

Commercial vehicle fitness inspection for DL-01 is not conducted at the North Zone office. The approved research names the Inspection & Certification (I&C) Centre, Burari — a long-standing, well-documented Delhi facility. As with other Delhi zonal offices, fitness testing has since expanded to further Automated Testing Stations across the city, so confirm your assigned centre when you book a fitness slot rather than assuming Burari by default.

• Metro: Both Civil Lines and Vidhan Sabha stations (Yellow Line) are close by and confirmed to sit in the Civil Lines locality — roughly 500–600 m per the approved research, consistent with their documented locations.

• Bus: The Ludlow Castle/Civil Lines DTC stop serves the area.

• Road: Mall Road and Sham Nath Marg both run through this part of Civil Lines.

• Parking: Not established by the available evidence — we haven't stated a specific claim here.

• Parivahan — national portal for licence and registration services

• Sarathi — driving licence services and test-slot booking

• Vahan — vehicle registration and RC services

• Delhi Transport Department — official zonal office directory and current contact details

Note: the office landlines are more reliably answered between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM on working days.
