Indian Vehicle Number Plate Validator

Standard Indian vehicle numbers follow the format: 2-letter state code + 2-digit district code + 1-2 letter series + 4-digit number (e.g., MH12AB1234). The new BH series uses: registration year + BH + 4 digits + 1-2 letters (e.g., 22BH1234AA).

BH (Bharat Series) is a new registration format introduced in 2021 for vehicles of defense personnel, government employees, and others who frequently transfer across states. It eliminates the need to re-register when moving to a different state.

No. This tool only validates the format of the number plate and identifies the state code. It does not verify with any RTO database. To check registration details, visit the official Vahan portal (vahan.parivahan.gov.in).
