If you move your vehicle to another state in India for more than 12 months, it becomes compulsory to complete Vehicle Re-Registration with the respective RTO. This process helps you stay compliant with state regulations and applicable road taxes.

At RTO Agent Services, we specialize in providing fast, reliable, and hassle-free vehicle re-registration assistance, ensuring your driving remains completely legal and stress-free.

What is Vehicle Re-Registration?

Vehicle re-registration is the procedure of updating your vehicle’s registration records with the RTO when you relocate from one state or union territory to another in India. This ensures that your vehicle complies with the legal requirements of the new state.

The process typically involves:

  • Allocating a new registration number reflecting the code of the new state.

  • Paying the road tax as per the rules of the new state.

  • Cancelling the previous registration number, if necessary.

  • Updating the changes in the Registration Certificate (RC) book.

RTO Agent Services can assist in handling all the formalities of vehicle re-registration smoothly, saving you time and avoiding paperwork hassles.

Who Should Apply for Vehicle Re-Registration?

You must re-register your vehicle in the following situations:

  • You have moved to a different state and intend to stay there for more than 12 months.

  • You plan to sell a vehicle that was originally registered in another state.

  • Your employer relocates you along with your vehicle for long-term assignments.

  • You are driving a leased or financed vehicle that now requires compliance with the new state’s registration rules.

Neglecting to re-register your vehicle in the new state may result in fines, traffic challans, or even the vehicle being impounded during inspections.

Step-by-Step Process of Vehicle Re-Registration
  1. Obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC)
    Secure a NOC from the RTO where your vehicle was originally registered. This certificate is mandatory for transferring your vehicle to another state.

  2. Move the Vehicle to the New State
    Transport your vehicle to the destination state along with the NOC and valid identity documents. This can be done either by driving it yourself or using a transport service.

  3. Pay the Road Tax in the New State
    Pay the applicable road tax based on the age and type of your vehicle. Road tax rules may vary from state to state.

  4. Submit the Re-Registration Application
    Visit the local RTO and submit Form 20 along with all required documents, including the NOC, ID proofs, and previous RC.

  5. Vehicle Inspection by RTO
    The RTO will carry out a physical inspection of your vehicle to ensure all details match the records.

  6. Receive the New Registration Certificate (RC)
    Once verification is completed successfully, the RTO issues a new RC reflecting your vehicle’s registration in the new state.

  7. Optional: Claim Road Tax Refund
    If you paid road tax in the previous state, you may apply for a refund as per the rules of that state.

What Documents are Required for Vehicle Re-Registration?

To complete the process of re-registering your vehicle, you need to submit the following documents to the RTO:

  • Original Registration Certificate (RC) of the vehicle

  • Valid Insurance Certificate

  • Valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) Certificate

  • No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the original RTO

  • Form 20 – Application for Registration

  • Form 27 – Application for Assignment of a New Registration Number

  • Form 33 – For updating the address

  • Owner’s PAN Card, Aadhaar Card, or any other valid proof of address

  • Original Invoice of the vehicle (required in some states)

  • Chassis number pencil print

  • Recent passport-size photographs of the owner

  • Road tax payment receipt applicable for the new state
