This is a citizen help page, not an official government page. Use it to understand the route, documents and safety checks before using the official portal or department process.

Step-by-step

  1. Use the official Vahan, mParivahan, state transport, insurer or police route available for your purpose.
  2. Enter the vehicle registration number exactly as shown on the plate or RC.
  3. Verify non-sensitive details such as make, class, fuel, registration validity, insurance or PUC status where shown.
  4. For transfer, accident, police or court use, request certified information through the lawful RTO or police process.
  5. If an RTO file is delayed, ask for application status and file movement rather than unrelated personal details.

Red flags and cautions

If the matter is stuck

  1. Raise a written complaint on the official portal, app, helpdesk, school, office, bank, distributor or RTO route that controls the record.
  2. Save the ticket number, date and reply.
  3. Ask for a written reason if the status is delayed, rejected, hidden or inconsistent.
  4. Where a public authority holds the record, RTI can ask for file status, action taken, reasons recorded, officer name/designation and copies of non-exempt records.
