How to check car ownership details
Step 1: Access the Official Website
The first step in checking your vehicle’s ownership details is to visit the official Ministry of Transport or Regional Transport Office (RTO) website of India. This portal provides reliable and up-to-date information about registered vehicles across the country.
To access the site, follow these steps:
- Open your preferred browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc.).
- In the search bar, type “Parivahan Sewa” or directly visit the official Parivahan Sewa website.
- On the main menu, look for the “Vehicle Related Services” or “Vahan e-Services” section. This area contains all the services related to your vehicle, including ownership verification.
- Click on the “Know Your Vehicle Details” or “Vahan Registration” option to begin the process of checking ownership details.
By accessing the official website, you’ll have a secure and reliable platform to perform the vehicle data check. Now that you know where to find the information, it’s time to gather the necessary documents.
Step 2: Prepare Necessary Documentation
Before entering the vehicle details on the website, you need to have some essential documents ready. This will ensure you have the correct information to perform the check successfully. The key documents needed are:
- Chassis Number: This is a unique identifier for the vehicle, usually found on the chassis or in the vehicle registration document.
- Vehicle Plate Number: The vehicle’s plate number is its primary identifier and should be entered correctly.
- Vehicle Type: In some cases, you may be asked to select the type of vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle, etc.) for the search.
Ensure you have these details ready before starting the search. If you do not have the chassis number or the vehicle plate number, you can find them in the registration certificate or the vehicle’s license document. Now that you have the necessary documents, let’s move on to the next step: entering the vehicle details into the system.
Step 3: Enter the Vehicle Details
With your documents ready, it’s time to enter the vehicle’s details on the website. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do this:
- Access the “Know Your Vehicle Details” Page: After clicking the relevant option on the Parivahan Sewa website, you will be redirected to a page where you will need to input your vehicle details.
- Enter the Vehicle Plate Number: In the appropriate field, enter the vehicle’s plate number that you wish to check.
- Enter the CAPTCHA Code: The site may ask you to enter a security code (CAPTCHA) to ensure it’s not an automated process.
- Click “Submit” or “Submit Details”: After entering the details, click the button to submit the information.
After this step, the system will check the information in the official database and provide the results. You will now be able to view details about the vehicle owner and other relevant data.
Step 4: Check the Details
Once you’ve entered the details correctly, the system will display information about the registered vehicle. The main details you can view include:
- Owner’s Name: The name of the individual or entity that is the registered owner of the vehicle.
- Registration Date: The date when the vehicle was first registered.
- Registration Status: Whether the vehicle is currently registered and if there are any pending fees or taxes.
- Fine and Violation History: Information about any fines or violations associated with the vehicle.
Check all the details carefully to ensure they are correct. If you find any discrepancies or errors, you may need to contact the RTO to rectify the information. Let’s move on to the next step, where we explain what to do in case of discrepancies.
Step 5: What to Do in Case of Discrepancies
If you notice that the ownership details or other information related to the vehicle is incorrect, it’s important to take action quickly to avoid legal or financial issues in the future. Here are the steps to follow:
- Contact the Local RTO: Visit your nearest Regional Transport Office (RTO) or contact them online. The RTO will guide you on how to correct vehicle records.
- Check Documentation: Ensure that you have all the necessary documentation to prove the correctness of the information, such as purchase receipts, sales contracts, or any other relevant documentation.
- Request a Formal Correction: If an error is identified, you will need to fill out a correction or rectification form and submit it to the RTO along with supporting documents.
- Follow Up on the Correction Status: After submitting the request, keep track of the correction process until the RTO confirms that the details have been updated.
This correction will ensure that your vehicle’s ownership details are accurate and up-to-date. Now that you’ve corrected the details, you’ll be ready to proceed with any vehicle-related transactions or procedures.
