How to read an Indian number plate

Every Indian vehicle registration follows the format SS NN XX 9999 — the two-letter state code (KA, TN, KL, RJ, …), the two- or three-digit RTO code that identifies the issuing office, the letter series, then the unique 4-digit number. The RTO portion is the bit that tells you which city or district the vehicle was first registered in: KA01 means Bengaluru Central, KA67 means Chintamani in Chikkaballapura, RJ23 means Sikar, and so on.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find which city an Indian RTO code belongs to?

Type the code into the search above — e.g. "KA 67" or "KL78" — and the matching RTO and city show instantly. The full directory below lists every code by state if you want to browse.

How do I find the RTO code for my city or town?

Type the city or town name into the search — Pattukottai, Chintamani, Iritty, Sikar, Krishnagiri, etc. — and the matching RTO code and state appear. If your city has multiple RTOs (e.g. Hyderabad's zones, Bengaluru's directional offices), all of them show in the results.

How many RTO codes are there in India?

This finder covers 1,200 RTO offices across India, each with its own code on the number plate. Every state's complete list is in the directory above.

What's the difference between RTO, ARTO, SRTO, DTO, and a unit office?

All issue vehicle registrations. RTO is the standard Regional Transport Office; ARTO and SRTO are Additional/Sub Regional Transport Offices that report to a parent RTO; DTO is District Transport Office (common in some states like Rajasthan); a Unit Office is a smaller satellite office that handles registration for a sub-district. For finding the city tied to a code, the distinction doesn't matter — all of them appear in this finder.
