RC PVC card: what you get
A wallet-size PVC print of your Vehicle Registration Certificate (RC), made from the DigiLocker, Parivahan or mParivahan PDF, or a flat scan of a paper RC book or smart card, that you upload at checkout. We print the file exactly as it is. We do not edit it, we do not update owner or address details, and we are not the transport department: we cannot issue, transfer, renew or duplicate an RC. The card is a convenience copy for the glovebox or wallet. It does not replace your RC.
This one page is for RCs from every state and union territory. Select your state above the Add to cart button so the print team knows which layout to expect. The state pages we used to run were copies of each other, so they now all lead here.
Where to get your RC file
- DigiLocker: Issued Documents → Ministry of Road Transport and Highways → Registration of Vehicles. Enter the registration number and chassis number, choose Get Document and download the PDF. This is the sharpest file for printing.
- Parivahan Sewa (parivahan.gov.in): Vehicle Related Services → select your state → log in with the mobile number registered against the vehicle → enter the registration number, verify the OTP and download the RC as a PDF.
- mParivahan app: add a virtual RC with the registration number and the last digits of the chassis and engine numbers, then share or save it.
- Paper RC book or older smart card: scan the page flat at 300 dpi or higher with all four edges visible. Do not use a phone photo of the book lying open; the curve of the page cannot be flattened.
Downloading an RC from these portals is free. If your mobile number is not registered against the vehicle, update it at your RTO first; we cannot fetch the RC for you.
Registration numbers and what they tell us
The registration number starts with the state code and the RTO code: MH for Maharashtra, KA Karnataka, DL Delhi, WB West Bengal, UP Uttar Pradesh, TN Tamil Nadu, KL Kerala, GJ Gujarat, RJ Rajasthan, AP Andhra Pradesh, TS Telangana, MP Madhya Pradesh, BR Bihar, OD Odisha, HR Haryana, PB Punjab, HP Himachal Pradesh, UK Uttarakhand, JH Jharkhand, CG Chhattisgarh, AS Assam and JK Jammu and Kashmir. Bharat series vehicles carry BH instead of a state code. We print whatever appears on your file, so please check that the full number, the owner name, the chassis and engine numbers and the validity dates are all readable before you upload.
State notes that affect your print
- Uttar Pradesh announced in March 2025 that RC booklets would be replaced with chip-enabled smart cards under the Digital UP Mission. Our card is not that smart card: it has no chip and no official standing. It is a print of the file you upload.
- Kerala, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan have issued smart-card RCs for years. We print the card image only; the chip is not reproduced.
- West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha, Himachal Pradesh and Assam still have many paper RC books in circulation. A flat 300 dpi scan of the details page is enough; you do not need to scan every page.
- Andhra Pradesh and Telangana vehicles registered before 2014 may show the old AP series; the DigiLocker PDF reflects whatever the current record says.
- Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh DigiLocker RCs sometimes show the fitness and tax validity in separate blocks. Upload the whole PDF and we fit it to the card.
Check these before you order
- Read the registration number, owner name, chassis and engine numbers and validity dates on your file against your original. We cannot correct a mistake after printing.
- If the vehicle has changed hands or you have moved, the transport department updates the RC. We print what your file shows.
- We do not print on chip cards. If your RC has a chip, only the chip image is printed.
- Ask whoever needs to see your RC (a traffic officer, an insurer, a toll or parking operator) what they will accept, and keep the original or your DigiLocker copy as well.
Common questions
Can I use the printed card instead of the original RC?
Officers are instructed to accept DigiLocker and mParivahan copies. A printed copy is not an official document. Keep the digital copy on your phone and treat the card as a wallet convenience.
My RC is a paper book. Can I still order?
Yes. Scan the details page flat at 300 dpi or higher with all four edges visible and upload the scan.
Can I print the RC for a vehicle registered in someone else’s name?
We print the file you upload. You are responsible for having the right to use it; we do not verify ownership.
Can you print front and back?
Yes. Upload both sides as separate files at checkout and both are printed on one card.
