Driver Biodata Format for Job — Sample, Blank Form and Lines to Copy

Whoever hires a driver reads the licence before the name. A general job biodata buries it under education; a driver's biodata puts the licence number, class and validity at the top, then the vehicles you have driven and the routes you know.

When this format is the right one

Use it for a company or staff car driver, a personal or family driver, a cab, school van or bus driver, a goods-vehicle or delivery driver, and a truck driver. Families, transport contractors and most companies ask for a biodata rather than a resume for these posts.

Copy-ready lines for a driver biodata

Copy the lines that are true for you, replace every [bracket] and delete the rest. The employer will look at your licence and may give you a driving test, so every vehicle and number you write should be one you can show.

The licence line — put it at the top

An Indian driving licence number is the state code, the RTO code, the year of issue and a 7-digit number, and an employer can check its status on the Parivahan Sarathi website. Copy it exactly as printed, with the class of vehicle and the valid-till date.

• Driving Licence No.: [MH12 20XX XXXXXXX] | Class: LMV | Valid till: [DD/MM/YYYY] | RTO: [Pune]
• Driving Licence No.: [ ] | Class: LMV + Transport ([HGMV / HPMV]) | Valid till: [ ] | Badge No.: [if issued]
• Driving experience: [8] years | Accident-free: [8] years | Pending challans: none
• Vehicles driven: [Maruti Dzire, Toyota Innova Crysta, Tempo Traveller 12-seater] — manual and automatic
• Routes known: [Pune city, Mumbai–Pune Expressway, Pune–Nashik, Pune–Goa]; comfortable with Google Maps

LMV or transport licence — which to write

On 6 November 2024 a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court held that an LMV licence covers transport vehicles with a gross vehicle weight up to 7,500 kg. Medium and heavy vehicles still need the transport class. Write the class exactly as printed and let the employer judge.

• Light vehicles: [Maruti Eeco, Tata Ace] on an LMV licence — local goods delivery, [20–25] drops a day
• Heavy vehicles: [Tata 1109, 10-wheeler truck] on a transport licence (HGMV) — interstate [Maharashtra–Gujarat–Rajasthan]

Blank driver biodata form — copy into Word

Section by section

What to get right

• Put the licence line first, with the class and the valid-till date. An employer who has to hunt for it assumes it is missing.
• Name the vehicles you have actually driven. The test drive will be in one of them, so write only what you can drive in front of the employer.
• List routes and cities. For outstation and staff-transport jobs, route knowledge is often the deciding line.
• State accident-free years and pending challans honestly — both can be checked online.
• Write the class exactly as printed on the licence. LMV and transport are different classes, and the employer needs the one the vehicle requires.
• Sign the declaration in ink and carry the original licence to the interview.
