What you get

What an RC search shows

A registration certificate is the record a regional transport office keeps for a vehicle. A search returns the fields that record contains.

Vehicle details

Maker and model, fuel type, colour, vehicle class and seating capacity, as the record lists them.

Insurance and PUC

The insurer, the insurance expiry and the PUC date, with how many days are left or how long ago they ended.

Fitness and road tax

Fitness validity and road tax paid-up date, plus the registration date and the age of the vehicle.

Registering RTO

The office and state that registered the vehicle, linked to its address and phone in the RTO directory.

How it works

Three steps to a vehicle record

  1. 1

    Enter the number

    Type the registration number without spaces, for example DL01AB1234. Bharat series numbers such as 22BH1234AA work too.

  2. 2

    Search

    The record is fetched from a third-party source. You do not need an account, and nothing is saved on this site.

  3. 3

    Read the record

    Details are grouped as ownership, vehicle, insurance and dates. Expired dates are marked in red so they stand out.

Number format

How a registration number is written

Knowing the parts helps you spot a typo before you search.

Example: DL 01 AB 1234

The first four characters, such as DL01, point to the regional transport office that registered the vehicle.

Bharat series numbers look different, for example 22BH1234AA: the year, the letters BH, four digits and two letters. They are not tied to one state.

Enter the number without spaces or dashes. Include the series letters, because a short number such as DL01 only names an office.

Need the office address or phone? Open RTO offices and enter the same code.

FAQ

Questions about RC search

Short answers about what this search shows, and what it does not.

01Can I find the full owner name from a vehicle number?

No. Owner names stay masked. This site does not show a vehicle owner's full name, address or phone number.

02Why can't I see details after entering the correct number?

The record may be unavailable, or the number may not match the expected format, such as GJ01AB1234 or a BH-series number. Details come from a third-party source and are sometimes incomplete.

03Is this the same data as the government VAHAN portal?

No. This site is not a government portal. Vehicle details are fetched through a third-party library and may be masked or incomplete. Confirm an official record on VAHAN or Parivahan.

04Can I check registration details for any state in India?

Yes. Search works with standard state registration numbers and with BH-series numbers.

05Why does a vehicle show no details or old details?

The third-party source may not have a complete or current record for that vehicle.

06Do I need to create an account?

No. You can search without signing up, and the search is free.

07How can I check a traffic challan for a vehicle?

Use Challan Search to open the official e-Challan portal. This site does not list challans itself.

08Does this site handle ownership transfer?

No. Ownership transfer is handled by the regional transport office, and the process can differ by state.
