How to get a verified blood group certificate for school, college admission, and driving licence
Visit Official Portal →💡 A blood group certificate is an official medical laboratory report certifying an individual's ABO and Rh blood type (e.g., O+, B+, A-, AB+), signed by an authorized pathologist. It is mandatory for school/college admissions, Driving Licence (Sarathi Parivahan Form 1A), and defense recruitment, and can be obtained from any registered pathology lab or government hospital within 15–30 minutes.
Same day (15 minutes to 2 hours at any pathology lab)
₹50 to ₹200 at private diagnostic labs | Free or nominal ₹10 at Government Hospitals
Any individual of any age
Students applying for school or college admission, candidates applying for Driving Licence (Sarathi Parivahan), armed forces / police recruits, and medical emergency records
Walk into any registered private pathology laboratory (e.g., Dr. Lal PathLabs, SRL/Agilus, Metropolis, Apollo Diagnostics) or any Government Hospital / Primary Health Centre (PHC).
A phlebotomist will take a small blood drop via finger-prick or a minor vein sample for ABO and Rh factor (positive/negative) blood grouping testing.
The lab performs the test within 15–30 minutes and issues an official test report printed on laboratory letterhead, signed by an authorized pathologist with their registration number.
Most diagnostic chains send an SMS link or email from which you can download the digitally signed PDF blood group certificate.
If needed for a driving licence application on Sarathi Parivahan, present the lab report to a Registered Medical Practitioner (MBBS doctor) to certify your blood group in Form 1A.
If your blood group report has a misspelled name or incorrect age:
Take your Aadhaar or photo ID to the diagnostic center where you got tested.
Request the lab administrator to update your name spelling in their database and re-issue the corrected PDF report.
If you suspect an error in the blood type result itself, request a repeat cross-matching test at a second accredited laboratory.
How to obtain and download your certified Blood Group Report in PDF format:
Visit an NABL-accredited diagnostic center (e.g., Lal PathLabs, SRL, Metropolis) or hospital and complete the blood test.
Within 1–2 hours, you will receive an SMS with your Report ID and download link.
Log into the lab's official patient portal or app and download the certified PDF report bearing the pathologist's digital signature.
Store the PDF report in your ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) or DigiLocker Health Locker for instant lifetime access.
