API FOR VERIFICATION OF INDIAN VEHICLE REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE (RC) NUMBER

Description

Vehicle Registration number (RC) also knows as Vehicle License number is a unique number assigned to every motorised vehicle by the regional transport authorities. The information of the vehicle thus registered, is digitally stored in a central transport database known as Parivahan maintained by the Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways (MoRTH) in India.

This API offers a real time verification of vehicle registration numbers and fetches live vehicle data as registered in the Parivahan database.

The legacy data processing model is being formally deprecated.

In order to ensure continued compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), we are implementing DPDP V3 (Consent-Driven Processing). Under this framework, clients are required to obtain explicit, informed, and verifiable consent from the data principal prior to accessing, processing, viewing, or storing any personal data through the platform. This regulatory transition may require modifications to existing configurations and workflows. Clients are advised to review and update their implementations to ensure ongoing compliance with applicable data protection obligations. Further information regarding this transition can be enquired here. Learn more about this change here.
