RJ 21 which city? Every RTO Rajasthan code, office by office

By , Editor and reviewer · Updated · 25 min read · Independent guide, not a government website

In short

RJ 21 is Nagaur, the district office in central Rajasthan between Jodhpur and Bikaner. Across RTO Rajasthan offices, codes run from RJ 01 (Ajmer) to RJ 60 (Jaipur Additional): RJ 01 to RJ 27 are the original district offices in alphabetical order, and RJ 28 onwards were added for newer districts and busy sub-offices such as Bhiwadi, Didwana and Khetri.

Key takeaways

  • RJ 21 is Nagaur; nearby Didwana, carved out of the old district, uses RJ 37.
  • The first 27 codes follow the alphabetical order of the old district names, from Ajmer to Udaipur.
  • Jaipur city has three codes: RJ 14 South, RJ 45 North and RJ 60 Additional.
  • Sub-office codes such as RJ 44 Sujangarh and RJ 53 Khetri sit inside larger districts.
  • PY and ML are not Rajasthan codes: they belong to Puducherry and Meghalaya.
  • Code lists come from secondary sources, so confirm any vehicle on Vahan before you rely on it.

RTO Rajasthan codes and offices at a glance

The RTO Rajasthan network uses the state letters RJ followed by a two-digit office number. Codes run from RJ 01 Ajmer to RJ 60 Jaipur Additional. The first 27 belong to the original districts, and the rest went to newer districts and to sub-offices in towns with heavy vehicle registrations.

Nagaur sits between Jodhpur, Bikaner, Sikar and Pali, and each has its own code.

What a district office handles

Each office registers new vehicles, issues and renews registration certificates, handles transfers of ownership, and deals with learner and driving licences for its area. Permits and fitness checks for commercial vehicles also go through these offices.

How the codes are numbered

RJ 01 to RJ 27 follow the alphabetical order of the old district names: Ajmer, Alwar, Banswara and so on to Udaipur. From RJ 28 Baran onwards the numbers simply follow the order in which new offices opened.

RJ 21 which city is it?

The answer to RJ 21 which city is Nagaur, the headquarters town of Nagaur district in Ajmer division. Nagaur lies roughly midway between Jodhpur and Bikaner. A car or bike bought by someone living in Nagaur town or most of the surrounding tehsils is registered there and carries RJ 21.

Why Nagaur got number 21

When the two-digit system replaced the older three-letter series in 1989, the districts were numbered alphabetically. Nagaur came after Kota (RJ 20) and before Pali (RJ 22), so it received 21.

What RJ 21 does not mean

RJ 21 is not a Jaipur or Jodhpur code, a common guess on highways. It also says nothing about where the owner lives today. It records only the office where the vehicle was first registered.

Which Nagaur towns still carry RJ 21?

Vehicles from the tehsils that remain in Nagaur district use RJ 21. Wikipedia lists them as Nagaur, Deh, Khinvsar, Jayal, Merta City, Degana, Mundwa, Sanjoo and Riyan Badi. Merta City, known for its Meera Bai temple and large grain market, is the busiest town after Nagaur itself.

Didwana, Ladnun and Makrana now sit in the separate Didwana-Kuchaman district.

Towns that moved to a new district

Didwana, Ladnun and Makrana now belong to Didwana-Kuchaman district, formed on 7 August 2023. Didwana has its own code, RJ 37. Older vehicles from these towns may still show RJ 21 because a plate never changes when a district map does.

When to double-check

If you are buying a used vehicle from Kuchaman City or Makrana, do not guess from the plate. Search the number on Vahan and read the registering authority it shows.

RJ 21 vs RJ 37: Nagaur or Didwana?

Both codes come from the old Nagaur district. RJ 21 is the original district office at Nagaur town. RJ 37 is the Didwana office, which began as a sub-office and is now in the headquarters town of Didwana-Kuchaman district. Neither number has been withdrawn.

Comparison of the RJ 21 Nagaur code with the RJ 37 Didwana code
An RJ 37 plate is still from the old Nagaur area, just a newer office.

Old series show the difference

Before 1989, Nagaur vehicles used the series RJS and RSS. RJ 37, like every code from RJ 28 upwards, has no pre-1989 series in the Wikipedia table, a quick sign that it is a newer office.

Same division, different desks

Both towns fall in Ajmer division. A resident still applies at the office that covers their address, so a Didwana address goes to RJ 37 even though Nagaur is close by.

RJ 10 which city in the Shekhawati belt?

The reply to RJ 10 which city is Churu, headquarters of Churu district in Bikaner division. The district sits in the dry north-east of the state, between Bikaner, Hanumangarh and Jhunjhunu. Churu is famous for its painted havelis and for some of the hottest summer days recorded in India.

Towns under RJ 10

Churu city and most of the district use RJ 10. Sujangarh is the main exception, with its own office and code, RJ 44.

A plate you will see on NH 52

Trucks with RJ 10 numbers are common on the highway between Bikaner and Jaipur, because Churu’s transporters move grain and livestock along that route.

RJ 01 which city: is it Ajmer?

Yes. RJ 01 which city has a one-word answer: Ajmer. Ajmer took the first number because it heads the alphabetical list of districts. The office covers Ajmer city, Pushkar and the rural tehsils that have not been given their own sub-office codes.

RJ01 RTO code and the old series

The RJ01 RTO code replaced several older series. Before 1989 Ajmer vehicles carried RJZ, RSZ, RRZ, RNW, RNZ or RPZ, and Ajmer taxis used the RRT series numbered 7001 to 8000.

Pilgrim traffic

Buses and taxis serving the Dargah Sharif and Pushkar are often RJ 01 vehicles, so the code is a familiar sight far outside the district.

Ajmer RTO code: how many are there?

There is more than one Ajmer RTO code. RJ 01 covers Ajmer itself, RJ 42 is Kishangarh and RJ 48 is Kekri. RJ 36 Beawar was also part of the Ajmer area, but Beawar is now the headquarters of its own district.

Kishangarh and Kekri

Kishangarh, known for marble and its airport, uses RJ 42. Kekri uses RJ 48. Kekri was made a separate district in 2023 and returned to Ajmer when nine new districts were dissolved in December 2024.

Beawar now stands apart

Beawar district survived the 2024 changes, so RJ 36 now belongs to a district of its own rather than to Ajmer.

RJ 07 which city is it?

The answer to RJ 07 which city is Bikaner, the desert city in the north-west and headquarters of Bikaner division. The office registers vehicles for Bikaner city and the parts of the district that are not under the Nokha sub-office, which has its own code.

Nokha uses RJ 50

Nokha, on the road from Bikaner towards Nagaur, is served by RJ 50. A Nokha resident therefore gets RJ 50, not RJ 07.

Office details for Bikaner

For counters, services and the documents the Bikaner office asks for, read our separate guide to the Bikaner RTO office.

RJ 60 which city does the code belong to?

RJ 60 which city points to Jaipur. The Wikipedia list names it Jaipur (Additional), the newest of the city’s three codes and the highest RJ number in use. It was opened to share the load carried by RJ 14 and RJ 45.

Why Jaipur needed a third code

Jaipur registers more vehicles than any other district in the state. When number series fill quickly, the department opens another code instead of letting buyers wait for fresh series.

Seeing RJ 60 on new cars

New cars and two-wheelers bought in Jaipur may carry RJ 60, depending on the office the dealer files with and the series open at the time.

What is the Jaipur RTO code?

The Jaipur RTO code is not a single number. Inside the city, RJ 14 is Jaipur South, RJ 45 is Jaipur North and RJ 60 is Jaipur Additional. Jaipur district also has sub-offices with their own codes at Chomu, Dudu and Shahpura.

Chomu, Dudu and Shahpura add more codes inside Jaipur district.

Sub-offices in Jaipur district

RJ 41 is Chomu, RJ 47 is Dudu and RJ 52 is Shahpura. Dudu was briefly a separate district in 2023 and 2024 and is now back in Jaipur district.

The RJ 59 question

Sources disagree on RJ 59. Wikipedia lists it under Jaipur district as Shahpura, the same name as RJ 52, while another directory calls it Jaipur Second. Until the department’s list confirms it, check any RJ 59 plate on Vahan.

Jaipur RTO number for each zone

A Jaipur RTO number depends on where the owner lives. North Jaipur addresses go to RJ 45, south Jaipur addresses to RJ 14, and RJ 60 handles registrations assigned to the additional office. The office named on the RC tells you which one issued the number.

RJ 14 district name and office

The RJ 14 district name is Jaipur, and the office is Jaipur South. Before 1989 it was the busiest code in the state, with separate series for goods vehicles and for other vehicles. RJ 14 remains the code many people associate with the capital.

RJ14 code on goods vehicles before 1989

Jaipur’s goods vehicles used series such as RJL, RSL, RRL, RSM, RRM and RSG, while other vehicles used RNP, RPE, RPH, RPI and RPP. These old plates are now rare outside vintage collections.

RJ14 code in Vahan searches

Searching an RJ14 code number on Vahan returns Jaipur as the registering location, which is a quick way to confirm the office.

RJ 03 which city in south Rajasthan?

RJ 03 which city is Banswara, in the far south of the state near the Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat borders. Banswara district belongs to Udaipur division and is known for the Mahi river and its many islands. The office covers the whole district.

RJ03 RTO code before 1989

The RJ03 RTO code took over from the old Banswara series RJB and RPB. Banswara taxis used the RST series numbered 501 to 750.

Neighbouring southern codes

Dungarpur uses RJ 12 and Pratapgarh uses RJ 35. Plates with these three codes are common on the roads to Udaipur and Ratlam.

RJ09 which city is it?

RJ09 which city belongs to Chittorgarh, famous for its hill fort. The district is in Udaipur division, and the office registers vehicles for Chittorgarh town and its tehsils, from Nimbahera cement country to Begun and Rawatbhata.

RJ09 RTO code and old plates

The RJ09 RTO code replaced the old series RJH, RSH and RRH. Chittorgarh taxis once carried the RST series between 2501 and 3000.

Highway sightings

Chittorgarh sits on the corridor between Udaipur, Kota and Bhilwara, so RJ 09 trucks are a regular sight across the south-east.

Rajasthan RTO code list from RJ 01 to RJ 60

The full Rajasthan RTO code list has 60 numbers in Wikipedia’s table. The first 27 cover the original districts in alphabetical order. RJ 28 to RJ 35 mostly went to districts created in the 1990s and 2000s, and RJ 36 onwards mostly covers sub-offices and recent districts.

Rajasthan RTO list by division

Another way to read the Rajasthan RTO list is by the state’s seven divisions: Ajmer, Bharatpur, Bikaner, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota and Udaipur. Rajasthan has had 41 districts since 30 December 2024. Grouping codes this way shows which offices sit near each other.

Deeg has no code of its own yet

Deeg district, carved from Bharatpur, does not appear with its own number in the code list we checked. Its vehicles are likely registered under Bharatpur’s code, but confirm on Vahan.

Division offices

Each division has a Regional Transport Office that supervises the district offices below it. The state head office is Parivahan Bhawan in Jaipur.

Which RTO Rajasthan codes are new since 2023?

The newest RTO Rajasthan codes match the district shake-up of recent years. The state approved 19 new districts in August 2023, and nine were dissolved on 30 December 2024. Salumbar, one of the districts that survived, appears in the list as RJ 58, and the existing sub-office codes kept working throughout.

Timeline of Rajasthan vehicle code changes from old series to new districts
Codes issued for sub-offices stay on plates even when district maps change.

Districts that were dissolved

The nine dissolved districts were Dudu, Kekri, Shahpura, Neem Ka Thana, Sanchore, Gangapur City, Anupgarh, Jaipur Rural and Jodhpur Rural. Their towns returned to their earlier parent districts.

What happened to plates

Nothing. A registration number stays with the vehicle for life unless it is re-registered, so plates issued during 2023 and 2024 remain valid.

RJ23 RTO code: which district?

The RJ23 RTO code belongs to Sikar, the largest town of the Shekhawati region in Jaipur division. The office covers Sikar city and tehsils such as Fatehpur, Laxmangarh and Danta Ramgarh. Neem Ka Thana, briefly a district of its own, is back under Sikar.

Old Sikar series

Before 1989 Sikar used RJB, RSB and RRB. Its taxis used two RRT ranges, 6751 to 7000 and 7751 to 8200.

Coaching-town traffic

Sikar has grown into a large coaching hub, so many two-wheelers bought by students’ families carry the RJ 23 code.

Jodhpur RTO code: RJ 19 and its neighbours

The main Jodhpur RTO code is RJ 19, covering Jodhpur city and most of the district. The district also has RJ 54 Pipar City. RJ 43 Phalodi belonged to Jodhpur before Phalodi became a separate district. The Blue City is the second largest registration centre after Jaipur.

Old Jodhpur series

Before 1989 Jodhpur used a long run of series, including RJQ, RSQ, RRQ, RSN and RRN, a sign of how much traffic the city already had.

More on Jodhpur

For the office, its services and visiting tips, read our guide to RTO Jodhpur. The RJ19 RTO code page explains the city code in more depth.

RJ 04 RTO code: which district?

The RJ 04 RTO code is Barmer, in the far west on the Pakistan border, in Jodhpur division. Barmer is one of the largest districts in India by area. Balotra, once a Barmer town, now has its own district and uses RJ 39.

Oil and mining traffic

The oil fields and refinery project around Barmer and Balotra have brought heavy vehicles, so RJ 04 and RJ 39 tankers and trucks are common in the region.

Old series

Barmer’s single pre-1989 series was RJC, and its taxis used RST numbers 751 to 1000.

RJ 15 RTO code and Jaisalmer district

The RJ 15 RTO code is Jaisalmer, the westernmost district office, famous for its golden fort and sand dunes. Jaisalmer is in Jodhpur division. Many tourist jeeps and taxis that run desert safaris are registered here.

Old Jaisalmer series

Before 1989 Jaisalmer used RJM, and taxis used RRT numbers 4501 to 4750.

Jaisalmer RTO code for Pokhran

The second Jaisalmer RTO code is RJ 55 Pokhran. Pokhran, on the road between Jodhpur and Jaisalmer, is best known for India’s nuclear tests in 1974 and 1998. Its sub-office means local buyers do not have to travel to Jaisalmer.

Which one you get

A Pokhran address gets RJ 55, while Jaisalmer city and most of the remaining district get RJ 15.

RJ 16 RTO code in brief

The RJ 16 RTO code belongs to Jalore, in south-west Rajasthan, known for granite. The district also has RJ 46 Bhinmal. We cover RJ 16 and its towns fully on the RJ 16 which city page, so this section is only a short pointer.

Old Jalore series

Jalore’s pre-1989 series was RJN, and its taxis used RRT 4751 to 5000.

What is the Sanchore RTO code?

The Sanchore RTO code is listed as RJ 46 in Wikipedia’s article on the town. RJ 46 is the Bhinmal office in Jalore district. Sanchore was made a district in 2023 and dissolved in December 2024, so it is again part of Jalore.

Why sources disagree

Some aggregator sites list different codes for Sanchore, and at least one confuses it with Pokhran. We have not found an official notification of a separate Sanchore code.

How to confirm

Search a Sanchore vehicle’s number on Vahan. The registering authority shown there settles which office issued it.

RJ 40 RTO: why Bhiwadi has its own code

RJ 40 RTO is Bhiwadi, the industrial town on the Haryana border, south of Gurugram. Bhiwadi is now in Khairthal-Tijara district. Its factories and housing estates generate so many registrations that a separate office made sense.

Before RJ 40

Bhiwadi was part of Alwar district, so older local vehicles may carry RJ 02, the Alwar code.

Haryana plates in Bhiwadi

Many Bhiwadi residents work in Haryana, and you will see HR plates there too. A vehicle kept in another state for more than 12 months must get a new registration mark there under Section 47 of the Motor Vehicles Act.

RJ02 RTO: which city?

The RJ02 RTO is Alwar, in the north-east of the state in Jaipur division. Alwar sits on the Delhi-Jaipur route and is home to the Sariska tiger reserve. The office covers Alwar city and the remaining parts of the district.

Old Alwar series

Before 1989 Alwar used RJA, RSA, RRA, RNA and RPD, and its taxis used RST numbers 1 to 500.

Nearby codes

Kotputli (RJ 32) and Bhiwadi (RJ 40) were close to the old Alwar area. Both now sit in newer districts, Kotputli-Behror and Khairthal-Tijara.

RJ 05 RTO code in brief

The RJ 05 RTO code is Bharatpur, the eastern district known for the Keoladeo bird sanctuary and the gateway towards Agra. Bharatpur heads its own division. Our RJ05 which city page covers the code in detail.

Old Bharatpur series

Before 1989 Bharatpur used RJD, RSD and RRD, and taxis used RST 1001 to 1500.

RJ 18 district name: which district?

The RJ 18 district name is Jhunjhunu, in the Shekhawati region of Jaipur division. The district is known for its painted havelis and for sending many soldiers to the armed forces. Jhunjhunu also has a sub-office at Khetri. See RJ 18 which city for the full town list.

Old Jhunjhunu series

Jhunjhunu’s pre-1989 series were RJP, RSP and RRP, with taxis on RRT 5251 to 5500.

RJ 53 RTO code: which town?

The RJ 53 RTO code is Khetri, a copper-mining town in Jhunjhunu district. Hindustan Copper’s Khetri complex made the town an industrial centre, and its sub-office saves residents the trip to Jhunjhunu city.

RJ53 which city: town or district?

When people ask RJ53 which city, the precise answer is Khetri town, not Jhunjhunu city. The district is the same, but the office is different.

Spotting RJ 53

RJ 53 plates are common on the roads between Khetri, Singhana and Narnaul, close to the Haryana border.

Bhilwara RTO code: RJ 06 or RJ 51?

The Bhilwara RTO code is RJ 06 for Bhilwara city and most of the district. RJ 51 is the Shahpura sub-office in the same district. Bhilwara is in Ajmer division and is often called the textile city of Rajasthan.

Two towns called Shahpura

Rajasthan has two Shahpuras with codes: RJ 51 in Bhilwara district and RJ 52 in Jaipur district. Bhilwara’s Shahpura was briefly a separate district before December 2024.

Old Bhilwara series

Before 1989 Bhilwara used RJE, RSE and RRE, and taxis used RST 1501 to 2000.

Which code does RTO office Jhalawar issue?

The RTO office Jhalawar issues RJ 17. Jhalawar is the southernmost district of Kota division, bordering Madhya Pradesh. The office covers Jhalawar town, Jhalrapatan and towns such as Bhawani Mandi, Pirawa and Khanpur.

RJ 17 RTO code: Jhalawar district

The RJ 17 RTO code was Jhalawar’s from the start of the two-digit system. Its only pre-1989 series was RJO, and taxis used RRT 5000 to 5250.

Office address and timings

We do not print an address or timings for the Jhalawar office because we could not verify them. Use the office list on the transport department website.

Which areas does RTO Pali cover?

RTO Pali covers Pali district in Jodhpur division, between Jodhpur, Ajmer and the Aravalli hills. The district code is RJ 22. Pali town is a textile dyeing centre, and the district includes Ranakpur’s Jain temples and the market town of Sojat.

RJ22 RTO and the Pali sub-office

The RJ22 RTO handles Pali town and most tehsils. RJ 57 Sumerpur is a sub-office in the south of the district, close to Sirohi and the Jawai dam.

Old Pali series

Pali’s pre-1989 series were RJT, RPA and RPC, and taxis used RRT 6001 to 6500.

Hanumangarh RTO code: RJ 31 or RJ 49?

The Hanumangarh RTO code is RJ 31 for the main district office and RJ 49 for the Nohar sub-office. Hanumangarh was carved from Sri Ganganagar district in 1994 and sits in Bikaner division, in the canal-irrigated north of the state.

RJ 31 RTO for Hanumangarh city

RJ 31 RTO registers vehicles for Hanumangarh town and its nearby tehsils. Because the district is newer, RJ 31 has no pre-1989 series.

RTO Hanumangarh and Nohar

RTO Hanumangarh does not cover Nohar town itself, which has its own RJ 49 office. Bhadra and Rawatsar residents should confirm which office covers their address.

RJ 28 RTO code: which district?

The RJ 28 RTO code is Baran, the first code issued after the original 27. Baran was carved from Kota district in 1991 and is part of Kota division. The office covers Baran town and tehsils such as Anta, Chhabra and Shahabad.

Why Baran comes first

Baran was the first new district created after the two-digit system began, so it took the next free number, 28.

Neighbouring Kota codes

Kota itself uses RJ 20, and RJ 33 is the Ramganj Mandi sub-office in Kota district.

Churu RTO code: RJ 10 or RJ 44?

The Churu RTO code is RJ 10 for Churu city and most of the district. RJ 44 belongs to Sujangarh, the district’s second big town. The two towns are about an hour apart by road, so the separate office saves a long trip.

Old Churu series

Before 1989 Churu used RJI, RSI and RPI, with taxis on RST 3001 to 3250.

Which towns use which

Ratangarh, Sardarshahar and Rajgarh residents are typically served by RJ 10, but confirm the office for your address before you visit.

RJ 44 kha ka h?

Agar aap pooch rahe hain RJ 44 kha ka h, to jawab hai Sujangarh. Sujangarh Churu district ka shahar hai, Bikaner division mein. Churu city ka code RJ 10 hai, isliye Sujangarh ki gaadiyon par alag number RJ 44 dikhta hai.

Sujangarh kahan hai

Sujangarh Churu, Nagaur aur Sikar ke beech mein hai. Salasar Balaji mandir isi ilaake mein aata hai, isliye yahan bahar ki gaadiyan bhi kaafi dikhti hain.

RJ 44 number confirm kaise karein

Poora number Vahan par search karein. Registering authority mein Sujangarh dikhe to code sahi hai.

How do you decode an RJ plate in four steps?

Every Rajasthan plate follows the same order: state letters, office number, series letters, then up to four digits. Only the first two parts tell you about place. Work through them in order, and confirm on Vahan when the answer matters to you.

  1. Read the state letters. RJ at the start means the vehicle was registered in Rajasthan.
  2. Read the two digits. The number after RJ, such as 21, is the office that issued the registration.
  3. Match the code to an office. Use the tables above to find the town and district behind the number.
  4. Confirm the full number. Search the complete registration number on Vahan or mParivahan for the official record.
Four steps to decode an RJ number plate and find the registering office
Series letters only count up; they never point to a town.

Try the plate decoder

What the series letters mean

In a number such as RJ 21 CA 1234, the letters CA are just the series. Offices move to the next letters when the numbers run out, so they show age, not town.

Is a PY car number from Rajasthan?

No. A PY car number comes from Puducherry, the union territory on India’s south-east coast. It sometimes appears in Rajasthan searches because people see an unfamiliar plate and guess. For Puducherry codes, see our PY number plate guide.

Why PY cars are seen far from home

People who move for work often bring their cars with them, so out-of-state plates turn up everywhere. A car kept outside its home state for more than 12 months must be re-registered.

Quick test

If the plate starts with RJ, it is Rajasthan. Any other two letters belong to another state or territory.

What is an ML no plate?

An ML no plate is a Meghalaya registration, from the north-eastern state whose capital is Shillong. It is not a Rajasthan code, but people type it alongside RJ codes when they spot an odd number. Our ML registration page lists the Meghalaya offices.

Easy to confuse

ML and RJ share nothing except the format. Read the first two letters first, then the digits.

What does an RSS number plate mean?

An RSS number plate, in the context of Rajasthan vehicles, usually means an old pre-1989 registration series. Wikipedia’s table lists RSS as one of Nagaur’s old series, alongside RJS. These plates predate the RJ 21 format and are now mostly seen on old tractors, jeeps and collector vehicles.

Not an organisation plate

There is no official plate type for any organisation called RSS. If you see letters on a plate that are not a registration series, that is decoration, which plate rules do not allow on the registration plate itself.

Old series still valid

A vehicle registered under an old series keeps its number unless it is re-registered. Vahan can still show records for many such vehicles.

What were Rajasthan codes before 1989?

Before the two-digit system, Rajasthan used three-letter series that started with R, such as RJS, RSS, RJZ or RNP. Each district had one or more series, and taxis had separate number ranges. The RJ plus two-digit format came in 1989 with the national system.

Taxi ranges

Old taxi plates used shared series like RST and RRT, with each district given a block of numbers, for example RST 1 to 500 for Alwar.

Why new codes have none

Codes from RJ 28 onwards belong to offices that opened after 1989, so they have no old series.

How do you look up RTO vehicle information RJ plates?

To find RTO vehicle information RJ plates carry, use the national Vahan portal. Under Informational Services, choose Know Your Vehicle Details, sign in with a mobile OTP and enter the full number. The result shows the registering office and key dates, with the owner’s name partly masked.

Where to get RTO vehicle information Rajasthan records hold

The search draws on the same national database for every state. For a wider walkthrough of this search on web and app, see our RTO vehicle information guide.

Dos and don'ts for checking RTO vehicle information Rajasthan plates on Vahan
A code tells you the office; only Vahan tells you the vehicle record.

Full owner details

Complete owner records are not public. An owner, insurer or police officer can get them through the RTO or an authorised login.

Which Rajasthan RTO handles your address?

There is no single RJ RTO; your office depends on the address on your documents, not on where the dealer sits. Most addresses go to the district office. Towns with a sub-office, such as Kishangarh, Pokhran, Nohar or Khetri, go to that sub-office instead.

Check before you visit

The transport department lists offices and their areas on its website. Compare your tehsil with that list before you book an appointment.

Online first

Many services, such as fee payment and appointment booking, start on Parivahan’s Vahan and Sarathi portals, so you may not need to visit at all.

Can you change your RJ code after moving?

Not within Rajasthan in the normal course: the number stays with the vehicle, and you update the address on the RC instead. Moving to another state is different. Under Section 47, a vehicle kept there for more than 12 months must get that state’s registration mark.

Moving inside Rajasthan

A move from Nagaur to Jaipur keeps the RJ 21 number. You apply for an address change on the registration record with your new proof of address.

Moving out of the state

You need a no objection certificate from the original office and fresh registration in the new state. The national guides on the Parivahan pillar explain the forms.

An RTO code is not a postal code. Rajasthan pin codes are six digits, while RTO codes are RJ plus two digits.

How many RTO codes does Rajasthan have?

Wikipedia’s list has 60 codes, RJ 01 to RJ 60, though RJ 59 is not clearly identified. An insurer’s guide counts 58 RTO offices. The numbers differ because the last few codes are recent, and sources update at different times.
