New registration

ಹೊಸ ನೋಂದಣಿ

Most new vehicles are registered by the dealer, but many cases still need running around: vehicles bought in another state, commercial registrations and re-registration. We take care of that paperwork.

Not sure what applies to you? Send us a photo of your RC or licence and we’ll tell you.

Who this is for

Is this you?

  • Owners bringing a vehicle from another state to Karnataka
  • New commercial (yellow board) vehicles
  • Anyone whose dealer has not completed registration

Steps

How it goes

  1. Message us

    Send a photo of your invoice or RC and tell us where the vehicle was bought.

  2. We check & prepare

    We confirm which documents apply and calculate the Karnataka road tax for you.

  3. Inspection & tax

    The vehicle is shown at the RTO if inspection is needed; tax and fees are paid at official rates.

  4. Number & RC

    You receive the registration number, and the smart-card RC is dispatched to your address.

How long it takes. Depends on the case: an other-state re-registration needs the NOC first. We give you a realistic estimate once we see your documents.

Questions

New registration: common questions

Do I have to pay road tax again if I bring a vehicle from another state?

Usually yes, on a pro-rata basis for vehicles staying in Karnataka for longer than the permitted period. You may be able to claim a refund from the original state. We calculate it for your vehicle.

Can I choose a fancy number?

Choice numbers are auctioned by the Transport Department. We can help you apply.

Send us a photo of your RC or licence. We’ll tell you what’s needed.
