A Vehicle Registration Certificate (RC) is an important official document issued by governmental authorities, serving as conclusive proof of a motor vehicle's registration. This document encompasses essential details about the vehicle, including its registration number, make, model, engine and chassis numbers, owner's particulars, and other pertinent information.
Essentially, the RC validates the legal ownership and identity of the vehicle, constituting a mandatory requirement for its operation on public roads.
Moreover, it signifies that the vehicle adheres to the necessary regulatory standards for safety and compliance with motor vehicle regulations. Maintaining accurate and up-to-date information on the RC, including changes in ownership or address, is imperative to ensure legal conformity and facilitate effective communication with relevant authorities.
