For millions of Indian vehicle owners, securing a High Security Registration Plate (HSRP) is no longer a tedious offline chore. Since the Ministry of Road Transport’s 2022 mandate, applying for HSRP online has become the fastest, most reliable way to comply with national security standards. Over 12 million vehicle owners used digital portals in 2023 alone, reducing processing time by 74% according to the National Informatics Centre (NIC). Here’s how to navigate the system seamlessly.
Step-by-Step Guide to HSRP Online Application
1. Portal Access: Visit the official bookmyhsrp.com or your vehicle manufacturer’s HSRP portal (e.g., Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors). Avoid third-party sites to prevent fraud.
2. Vehicle Details: Enter your registration number, chassis number (last 5 digits), and engine number. The system auto-verifies details via Vahan database.
3. Slot Booking: Select an RTO-approved fitting center. Hyundai and Mahindra owners can opt for doorstep installation in 15 metro cities.
4. Payment: Fees range from ₹200–₹600 (including GST). Use UPI, cards, or net banking. A 2024 NIC report confirms 99.2% payment success rates.
5. Confirmation: Receive a digital receipt with QR code. Installation takes under 20 minutes at certified centers.
Mandatory Documents & Compliance
Bring these to your fitting appointment:
- Original RC (Registration Certificate)
- Printed application slip
- Aadhaar-linked mobile number for OTP verification
Police departments across 18 states now use HSRP’s laser-etched chromium holograms to track stolen vehicles. As emphasized by the Transport Ministry’s 2025 advisory, non-compliant vehicles face ₹5,000 fines under Section 192 of the Motor Vehicles Act.
Why HSRP Matters: Security Beyond Compliance
Unlike old plates, HSRPs feature:
- Non-reusable snap locks that break upon tampering
- IND holograms visible at 45-degree angles
- Hot-stamped serial numbers traceable via NATIS
RTO Delhi’s 2024 data shows HSRP-equipped vehicles had 63% faster recovery rates in theft cases.
Don’t risk fines or safety gaps—apply for your HSRP online today. With 8,500+ certified centers nationwide, compliance is just clicks away. Secure your plate now!
