How to Check RTO Vehicle Information?
Each vehicle is assigned a unique number by the Regional Transport Office (RTO) or Road Transport Office located across the country. This number is displayed on the vehicle’s front and rear number plates. With this number, one can obtain details about the vehicle owner, the vehicle’s status, and other relevant information.
Additionally, every vehicle owner must register their vehicle with the RTO. Only after registration does the owner receive the vehicle number and the Registration Certificate (RC). Vehicle registration is typically valid for 15 years but can be renewed thereafter.
