A Duplicate Fitness Certificate is an official replacement issued when the original Vehicle Fitness Certificate is misplaced, stolen, damaged, or destroyed. This document serves as proof that your vehicle is still in compliance with safety and emission regulations, ensuring it remains legally roadworthy.
A duplicate fitness certificate becomes necessary in the following situations:
When the original certificate has been lost or stolen
If the certificate is damaged, torn, or has become unreadable over time
In case the document is misplaced or destroyed accidentally
While applying for vehicle re-registration or renewing a permit, where proof of fitness is essential
Carrying a valid fitness certificate is compulsory, particularly for commercial vehicles. Having a duplicate copy ensures you stay compliant with RTO norms and avoid fines if the original is unavailable.
File an FIR – Visit your nearest police station and register a First Information Report (FIR) in case the original Fitness Certificate is lost or stolen.

Pay the Fees – Submit the prescribed government fee along with receipt charges.
Verification & Issuance – The RTO will verify your details and documents. Once the application is approved, the duplicate Fitness Certificate will be issued.

RTO Agent Services provides complete support for both online and offline procedures, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience for obtaining your duplicate fitness certificate.
A Duplicate Fitness Certificate holds the same validity as the original document. It does not grant any additional time or extension to the vehicle’s fitness period. The expiry date remains unchanged, ensuring that the certificate only serves as a replacement for the lost or damaged original.
The official RTO charges for issuing a duplicate fitness certificate usually fall between ₹300 to ₹600, depending on the type of vehicle and the regional transport office. If you choose to take the help of RTO Agent Services, there may be some additional service charges for handling the process on your behalf.
