Pre-purchase checklist

  1. 1

    Run the Vehicle module

  2. 2

    Run the Vehicle Owner module

    Match the registered owner's name against the seller's ID document.

    Run the Challan module

    List pending e-challans — unpaid fines transfer with the vehicle.

Red flags to watch for

  • Owner name does not match the seller's ID.

Frequently asked questions

How can I check vehicle registration details online?

Enter the vehicle registration number into the OSINTS.xyz Vehicle Lookup. It returns RC status, make, model, fuel type, registration date, insurance and PUC validity, and fitness details where available.

Can I get RC details by vehicle number only?

Yes. You only need the number plate. The chassis or engine number is not required for a basic RC lookup.

Does the lookup show the owner's name and address?

The Vehicle module returns vehicle and RC particulars. For registered owner name and address, run the Vehicle Owner module on the same plate.

Are pending challans included?

Pending and paid e-challans are covered by the separate Challan module. Run both before buying a used vehicle.

Which states and RTOs are supported?

All Indian states and Union Territories are supported. You can also decode any RTO prefix using the free RTO directory.
