Getting precise insights about the vehicle is also important when you have lost vehicle-related documents. In such events, you can easily obtain vehicle and vehicle owner details through their registration number. In the section below, we will discuss how to obtain vehicle owner details by vehicle number plate in Gujarat.
It is no longer possible to check the details of vehicle ownership via the Insurance Information Bureau (IIB) website. Even though this could be done in the past, this is no longer possible at present. Parivahan Sewa or ACKO can be used to obtain details about the vehicle.
All details about the vehicle can be found online on the Parivahan Sewa website or on government websites by entering the car's registration number. In fact, all the data available on the Parivahan Sewa website can be categorised into two types: firstly, public data and secondly, masked data.
Unique registration number assigned to the vehicle by the RTO.
The exact vehicle variant as per the manufacturer.
Type of fuel, such as Petrol, Diesel, EV, or CNG.
Classification of the vehicle, such as LMV, HMV, transport, or non-transport.
Date on which the vehicle was officially registered with the RTO.
The RTO with which the vehicle is registered.
Expiry date of the Registration Certificate, where applicable.
Expiry date of the vehicle fitness certificate, mainly for commercial vehicles.
Status and expiry date of the car insurance policy.
Expiry date of the Pollution Under Control certificate.
Information regarding road tax payment and validity.
Indicates whether the vehicle is financed or under a loan agreement.
Name of the registered owner of the vehicle.
Unique identification number assigned to the vehicle chassis.
Unique number assigned to the vehicle engine.
Read below some typical scenarios for which one may want to track vehicle owner details online with the number plate.
If you see or get involved in a hit-and-run case, locating the vehicle owner's information through the number plate may be quite helpful. The only thing required of you is to write down the vehicle’s registration number and get the owner's information through the ACKO app, VAHAN portal or SMS.
Suppose your car gets damaged during an accident, and there's a disagreement between you and the other party (the owner of the vehicle causing the accident). In that scenario, you can quickly find out the owner's details using the vehicle's registration number. It can help you to avoid any road rage and you may legally handle the matter.
Whether you are purchasing a second-hand vehicle directly from the owner or through a third party (dealer), checking the owner's vehicle information to make sure the vehicle meets the legal requirements is essential. The owner's details can be obtained by searching through the ACKO app, the VAHAN portal, or by SMS if the registration number is known.
The authorities can check your vehicle details on the VAHAN portal when they are doing your vehicle inspection. So, there is no need to carry hard copies of the vehicle. You just need to show the respective e-versions you have saved in the DigiLocker app, and they can cross-verify the same through the VAHAN portal.
Checking the RC details is one of the ways to verify whether a vehicle is covered by valid insurance and complies with the legal requirements, thus ensuring a hassle-free claim settlement, identifying the insurer's liability, and avoiding disputes after accidents. It also confirms compliance with emission norms, registration validity, and fitness criteria, thus sparing vehicle owners from fines, claim rejections, and legal troubles.
Information about a vehicle owner and information on the Registration Certificate of a vehicle have two distinct uses. The former identifies an individual associated with the vehicle, and the latter depicts the car at hand.
| Detail Type | Vehicle Owner Details | RC Details |
| What it covers | Personal information of the registered owner | Technical and legal specifications of the vehicle |
| Examples | Name, residential address, contact information | Registration number, engine number, chassis number |
| Where it is stored | Maintained in RTO records | Documented in the Registration Certificate |
| Visibility online | Partially hidden to protect privacy | Largely accessible to the public |
| Primary use | To establish the identity of the owner | To verify and identify the vehicle |
Whether you are checking RC details or verifying vehicle ownership, remember the following points:
