Confused by the new High Security Registration Plate rules? We break down the state-wise regulations, sticker color codes, and documentation needed before you visit the official portal.
Different states use different portals. For UP and Delhi, 'BookMyHSRP' is common. For Punjab, it is 'PunjabHSRP'. Always start by verifying your state on the SIAM website.
You cannot book without your Registration Certificate. You will need the last 5 digits of your Chassis Number and Engine Number.
Home delivery is convenient but costs extra (~₹250). Dealer fitment is cheaper but requires you to drive to the agency. Choose carefully; changing this later is difficult.
Once paid, you will get a PDF receipt. Print this out! Traffic police often demand this slip as proof of booking if you are stopped before your plate arrives.
The "Third License Plate" sticker on your windshield is mandatory. Here is what the colors mean:
Petrol & CNG Vehicles
Diesel Vehicles
Electric Vehicles (EV)
Yes. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has made it mandatory for all vehicles sold before April 2019 to upgrade to HSRP to track stolen vehicles and improve road safety.
No. We are an educational guide. You must visit the government-authorized portals (like SIAM or BookMyHSRP) to pay and book. We provide the redirect link for your convenience.
You do not need to book a whole new set. You can apply for a "Replacement HSRP" on the official portal, specifically citing "Damage" as the reason.
