Role Of MP RTO

While Buying a New Vehicle

Indian laws mandate every driver carry a legitimate driver's license. Also, there are certain documents that you need to buy a vehicle. These include:

Original, as well as an attested copy of a document proving your nationality, identity, and residency
Income proof or bank statements
Passport size photographs

To apply for a license, you need to visit your nearest RTO. These are the steps involved in the issuance of a driver's license:

You need to take a test. If you clear that, you will be given a learner's permit.
After a period of time, you have to take another test. Additionally, this test determines whether you qualify for a permanent driver's license.
Depending on vehicle use, different kinds of driver's licenses are issued.

Besides a driver's license, you need another important document called the RC (Registration Certificate) when you drive the vehicle. During the purchase of your vehicle, the MP RTO must be informed about the same. Besides issuing the RC to you, the MP RTO will also compile important details related to you and the vehicle. This is all in accordance with the provisions under the Motor Vehicles Act 1988.

After issuing the RC, you will receive a registration number. This number will also appear on your vehicle's number plate.

The MP RTO's significance does not end after the registration process. Moreover, you need the RTO's help in case of vehicle-related emergencies, like .

Misplacing or losing the RC documents: You must approach the RTO and request duplicate documents.

Interstate transfer: If you are shifting to another Indian state, you will require a NOC from the MP RTO. This NOC (No Objection Certificate) is mandatory to drive in other states.
