Have you recently moved to a new address? If so, you may need to change the address on your vehicle registration certificate (RC). The good news is that this process is relatively simple and can be done online or in person. In this blog post, we will walk you through the steps on how to change your RC address. We will also provide some tips on how to make the process go smoothly.

What Is An RC (Registration Certificate) For Vehicle?

The Regional Transport Office (RTO) issues a vehicle registration certificate (RC) to prove that a particular vehicle is registered with the government of India. The RC contains information about the vehicle, such as the make, model, year, registration number, engine number, chassis number, fuel type, and cubic capacity. It also contains the name, address, and date of birth of the vehicle owner. The RC is a very important document for vehicle owners. It is required to be produced for a variety of purposes, such as:

• Getting a driving license
• Buying or selling a vehicle
• Insuring a vehicle
• Registering a vehicle for road tax
• Applying for a loan against the vehicle
• Getting a no-objection certificate from the RTO

Vehicle owners must carry their RC at all times when driving. If the RC is lost or stolen, owners must report it to the RTO immediately. A duplicate RC can be issued for a fee. The RC is valid for 15 years from the date of issue. After 15 years, the RC must be renewed. The renewal process is similar to the registration process, and the vehicle owner will need to provide the same documents as they did when the vehicle was first registered.

The RC is a document that proves ownership of a vehicle and legal driving rights. It is important to keep the RC safe and to renew it when it expires.
