What is an RC (Registration Certificate)?
The Registration Certificate, or RC, is the document your Regional Transport Office (RTO) issues when a vehicle is registered. It is the official proof that the vehicle is registered in India and records who owns it.
You need a valid RC to drive the vehicle on public roads, renew insurance, transfer ownership and sell it. Private vehicles are registered for 15 years at a time, after which the registration has to be renewed.
Checking vehicle details online shows the same information the RTO holds, without asking the owner for the paper copy.
What your RC contains
- Registration number
- Owner name
- Make, model and variant
- Vehicle class
- Fuel type
- Engine number
- Chassis number
- Registration date
- Registration validity
- Registering RTO
Why check RC status online
Spot a mismatch early
Match the make, model, colour and fuel type on the RC with the vehicle in front of you. A mismatch is a reason to walk away.
Selling or transferring
Check the registration and road tax are in order before the ownership transfer at the RTO.
Stay ahead of renewals
See when insurance, PUC, fitness and registration run out, and renew before a fine.
Pending challans on the vehicle?
Unpaid challans stay with the vehicle. Check and pay them online before you buy or sell.
Other ways to check RC status
The government's own services show these details too. MotoInfo puts them in one report with renewal dates and a health score.
