Registration and vehicle records
Number plate colours and what they mean
White, yellow, green, and red plates show whether a vehicle is private, commercial, electric, or on a temporary number.
Find vehicle information by registration number
A registration lookup shows the vehicle record on file. The owner name stays masked.
Register an imported vehicle
Customs clears an imported vehicle. The regional transport office registers it and issues the number.
Link a mobile number on a vehicle record
The owner updates the mobile number on Parivahan. This site cannot edit that record.
Download a registration certificate
The owner downloads the RC from Parivahan or the mParivahan app. A search here does not save the certificate.
Driving licence
Apply for a driving licence online
A learner’s licence, a test, then a permanent licence. The application is on Sarathi. The test is still at the office.
Driving licence fees
Central fees for a learner’s licence, the driving test, issue, and renewal. The office can add a user charge.
Start a licence application on Sarathi
The form can be filled on Sarathi. The competence test is taken at the regional transport office.
Update a mobile number on a driving licence
The holder changes the number on Sarathi after it is verified. This site does not show or edit it.
Driving schools
Schools on file for a city. This site does not publish a school’s fee list.
Traffic rules and challans
Traffic fines by state
Penalty lists on file for each state. A challan is paid on the official portal.
Mumbai traffic rules
Mumbai uses the Maharashtra penalty list on file.
Bengaluru traffic rules
Bengaluru uses the Karnataka penalty list on file.
Hyderabad traffic rules
Hyderabad uses the Telangana penalty list on file.
Jaipur traffic rules
Jaipur uses the Rajasthan penalty list on file.
FASTag and road safety
Milestone colours: yellow, green, blue, and orange
The colour on a kilometre stone shows a national highway, a state highway, a district road, or a village road.
