Under Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) mandates and Rajasthan Transport Department directives, fitting High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) and third-sticker color-coded fuel holograms is strictly mandatory for all motorized vehicles registered in Udaipur (RJ-27).
Vehicles found without standardized aluminium hot-stamped HSRP plates face traffic penalties. Below is an overview of the HSRP security standards and the document checklist needed for new bookings or replacement of lost/damaged plates.
Key Security Features of Authentic HSRP Plates
- Chromium-Based Ashok Chakra Hologram: Hot-stamped on top left corner.
- 10-Digit Laser Etched Serial Number: Unique PIN linked to the national Vahan database.
- Non-Reusable Snap Locks: Snapped on with special rivets; cannot be removed without breaking.
- Retro-Reflective Sheeting: Ensures visibility from over 200 meters at night.
๐ Required Document Checklist for HSRP Booking & Replacement:
- Original Vehicle RC Copy / Photo: Clear image showing Registration Number.
- Chassis Number & Engine Number: Exact alphanumeric string from RC.
- Owner Mobile Number: For OTP verification and dispatch tracking.
- Police Lost Property Report: If replacing stolen or missing number plates.
Replacing Lost, Broken or Faded Number Plates
1. Police Lost Property Online Entry
Filing an online lost property report on the Rajasthan Police portal is mandatory before applying for a replacement plate.
2. Single vs. Pair Plate Replacement
If only the front or rear plate is damaged, a single plate replacement can be processed using existing registration credentials.
3. Old Damaged Plate Handover
Carrying the damaged plate to the authorized fitment center for destruction is required by transport security regulations.
๐ Statutory Authority
HSRP implementation is governed under Rule 50 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules 1989 and Ministry of Road Transport & Highways Order S.O. 6052(E). Unauthorized acrylic plates are strictly prohibited on Indian roads.
