Vehicle Re-Registration

Shifted to a New State with Your Vehicle? Re-Register It Legally and Hassle-Free!

When you move your vehicle to a different Indian state for more than 12 months, it is mandatory to re-register it with the local Regional Transport Office (RTO). This ensures your vehicle complies with local laws and taxation policies.

At Friends RTO Consultancy, we offer fast, affordable, and expert-guided vehicle re-registration services—so you stay road-legal, stress-free

What is Vehicle Re-Registration?

Vehicle re-registration refers to the process of updating your vehicle’s registration details with the RTO of a new state or union territory when you move from one state to another in India.

The process includes:

  • Issuing a new registration number (with the new state’s code)
  • Payment of the road tax applicable in the new state
  • Cancellation of the old registration number (if applicable)
  • Endorsement of changes in the RC book

Who Needs Vehicle Re-Registration?

You need to re-register your vehicle if:

  • You have shifted to a new state and plan to stay for over 12 months
  • You want to sell a vehicle registered in another state
  • Your company transfers you and your vehicle for long-term relocation
  • You have a leased or financed vehicle that now needs new-state compliance

Failing to re-register a vehicle in the new state can lead to penalties, challans, or impounding during road checks.

Step-by-Step Process of Vehicle Re-Registration

1. Obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC)

  • Get NOC from the original RTO where the vehicle was first registered.

2. Transport the Vehicle to the New State

  • Drive or ship your vehicle to the new state with NOC and ID proofs.

3. Pay Road Tax

  • Pay the applicable road tax in the new state (based on vehicle type and age).

4. Submit Re-Registration Application

  • Apply at the local RTO with Form 20 and required documents.

5. Vehicle Inspection

  • The RTO will conduct a physical inspection of the vehicle.

6. Get New Registration Number

  • After successful verification, a new Registration Certificate (RC) is issued.

7. Claim Road Tax Refund (Optional)

Apply for a refund of road tax paid in the previous state (if applicable).

FAQs

Is Vehicle Re-Registration mandatory if I move to another state?

Yes, if you intend to use your vehicle in another state for more than 12 months, it is mandatory to re-register the vehicle with the local Regional Transport Office in that state.

Do I need to pay road tax again during Vehicle Re-Registration?

Yes, most state transport departments require payment of road tax during re-registration. However, if the road tax was paid for the full term in the previous state, you may apply for a refund from the previous RTO after the new registration is completed.

Can I drive my vehicle in another state without re-registering it?

You can drive your vehicle in another state temporarily for up to 12 months without re-registration. If you plan to reside in the new state for longer, you must complete the re-registration process.

What is the time limit to apply for Vehicle Re-Registration after relocating?

What is the fee for Vehicle Re-Registration?

The fee depends on the type of vehicle and the state government regulations. You will typically be required to pay a registration fee, road tax, and sometimes a vehicle inspection fee. The consultancy or facilitation fee (if using an agent) will be separate.

Can I re-register a vehicle that is older than 15 years?

Yes, but the vehicle must pass a fitness test conducted by the RTO. If the vehicle is deemed fit for road use, a new registration will be granted, usually for 5 years at a time.

Will the registration number of my vehicle change after re-registration?

Yes, upon re-registration in a different state, your vehicle will be issued a new registration number by the Regional Transport Office of that state.

How long does the Vehicle Re-Registration process take?

The process generally takes between 10 to 30 working days, depending on document verification, RTO workload, and whether a fitness test is required.
