In such a situation, if you are also planning to link your Aadhaar Card with your Driving license, then you just have to follow these steps:

Consequences of not linking Driving License to Aadhaar Card 

The Centre had made it mandatory to link your Driving License with Aadhaar Card a few years ago. If you haven’t linked the two important documents then you won’t be able to use many online services such as apply for a learner's license, renewal of DL, and change of address in DL.

Therefore, it’s requested that you should link your Driving License with your Aadhaar Card as soon as possible to benefit from the contactless services rolled out by the Road Transport ministry due to the pandemic. Additionally, an Aadhaar card has also become necessary for the verification of a Driving License.
