General RC Service FAQs

Which portal manages RTO RC services online?

Vahan Parivahan (vahan.parivahan.gov.in) is the official centralized portal managed by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) for all Registration Certificate (RC) services.

Can I update my address on RC online?

Yes, you can apply for an alteration of address (Form 33) online through the Vahan portal. If your state offers faceless services, Aadhaar authentication is sufficient without visiting the RTO.

What is the validity of a non-transport vehicle RC?

A private/non-transport vehicle Registration Certificate is valid for 15 years from the date of initial registration. After 15 years, it must be renewed every 5 years.

How can I download a digital copy of my RC smart card?

You can download an authentic digital Registration Certificate instantly via the DigiLocker app or the mParivahan mobile application using your vehicle registration and chassis number.
