HSRP Online Booking: Apply, Replace & Track High Security Number Plate

High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) are governed by the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 and the Motor Vehicles (High Security Registration Plates) Order, 2018. This updated guide explains who needs HSRP, how to book it online, how replacement works, and where to check official notifications.

Important: For new vehicles sold on or after 1 April 2019, type-approved HSRP, including the third registration mark where applicable, is to be supplied through the vehicle manufacturer/dealer system. For older vehicles, fitment is handled through authorised dealers or HSRP suppliers as permitted by the concerned State/UT.

Current HSRP legal position

The Motor Vehicles (High Security Registration Plates) Order, 2018 came into force on 1 April 2019. It requires HSRP to conform to the specifications in Rule 50 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989. The Order also provides that HSRP for new vehicles sold on or after 1 April 2019 is supplied through vehicle manufacturers and their dealers.

For existing/older vehicles, HSRP may be supplied and affixed by vehicle manufacturers' dealers, and State-authorised HSRP manufacturers or suppliers may also be permitted to provide plates. Availability, appointment processes and enforcement therefore differ between States and Union Territories.

Fine for driving without prescribed HSRP

Do not rely on a single nationwide challan amount. The Motor Vehicles Act contains general penalty and compounding provisions, but the amount actually enforced for an HSRP/registration-plate violation can depend on the applicable offence, State/UT notification and local enforcement directions. Check the transport department or traffic police portal for your State/UT before relying on an amount quoted on older websites.
