Apply for Temporary Vehicle Registration (TR) Online
A Temporary Registration (TR) is a short-term, provisional registration issued by a vehicle dealership or the Regional Transport Office (RTO) at the time of purchasing a new motor vehicle. It legally authorizes you to drive the unregistered vehicle from the showroom to the RTO jurisdiction where it will be permanently registered. Whether you are buying a vehicle in a different state to save on taxes or need to build a custom body on a commercial chassis before final registration, securing a valid TR is a strict legal requirement. Our platform provides expert assistance to streamline the issuance and extension of your temporary registration.
Why is a Temporary Registration Strictly Mandatory?
-
Legal Transit Across Borders: If you purchase a vehicle in one state/city but intend to register it in your home state/city, a TR is absolutely mandatory to legally drive the vehicle across state borders and toll plazas without being impounded.
-
Avoid Unregistered Vehicle Fines: Driving a brand-new vehicle without any registration number (not even a TR sticker) is a severe violation of the Motor Vehicles Act, leading to exorbitant challans and the immediate seizure of the vehicle.
-
Crucial for Commercial Body Building: If you purchase a commercial vehicle chassis (like a truck or bus), you cannot register it permanently until the body is fully built. A TR allows you to transport the chassis to the workshop and legally keep it there while the body is constructed.
-
Mandatory for Motor Insurance: Insurance companies require at least a Temporary Registration number to activate your vehicle's comprehensive insurance policy. Without it, your new vehicle is entirely unprotected against theft or accidents during transit.
