duplicate RC

A duplicate RC (Registration Certificate) is a legal document issued by the relevant transportation authority that serves as a replacement for an original RC that has been lost, stolen, damaged, or misplaced. Obtaining a duplicate RC is essential for vehicle owners to maintain legal compliance and ownership documentation for their vehicles. The process of obtaining a duplicate RC typically involves submitting an application to the regional transport office (RTO) or similar authority, along with necessary supporting documents such as a copy of the FIR (First Information Report) if the RC was stolen, proof of identity, proof of address, and vehicle details. Once the application is processed and verified, the duplicate RC is issued to the vehicle owner. Having a duplicate RC ensures that the vehicle owner can continue to legally operate and maintain ownership of their vehicle without disruption. It provides peace of mind in case of loss or theft of the original RC and enables the owner to fulfill legal obligations related to vehicle registration and documentation.
