How to Use the Vehicle Registration Checker

1. Enter the plate number

Indian format — state code, RTO code, series letters, digits.

State/UT, RTO office and series identified from the format.

3. Verify the vehicle

Format-decode is not ownership proof — check the RC for that.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information does it extract from a registration number?

State/UT code (e.g., MH for Maharashtra, DL for Delhi), RTO code (e.g., 01 for South Mumbai), series letters, and unique number. It decodes the standard Indian license plate format.

Which states and UTs are covered?

36 state/UT codes with 433 named RTO offices (e.g. KA-01 Bangalore Central, MH-01 Mumbai South) plus BH-series plates across 10 zones. Codes outside the named list still validate against per-state numeric ranges — but plates must be 8–12 characters; try the 6 built-in examples to see the decode.

Does it verify if a registration number is valid?

It checks if the format follows Indian registration standards (state code + RTO + series + number). It does not verify if the vehicle is currently registered with the transport department.

Can I look up vehicle owner details?

No. Owner details are protected under the Motor Vehicles Act. This tool only decodes the registration number format and identifies the issuing RTO.

When using Vehicle Registration Checker, is the parsing done locally?

Yes. All parsing happens in your browser using a local database. No registration numbers are sent to any server.
