Check Vehicle Insurance Status by Registration Number

You can check whether a vehicle's insurance is active — and when it expires — using just the registration number. Here's how to see the insurer, policy validity, PUC and fitness status online.

Last updated: October 2026

Driving without valid insurance is illegal in India, and buying a used vehicle with lapsed insurance can be costly. With TrueVahanInfo you can check a vehicle's insurance status by its registration number before you buy, sell, or get behind the wheel.

How to check insurance status

  1. Open the TrueVahanInfo app.
  2. Enter the registration number, e.g. KA01EF2345.
  3. Tap Search and open the Insurance section.
  4. See the insurer, policy number and valid-until date.

What the insurance check shows

Why it matters

For used-vehicle buyers, expired insurance means an extra cost you'll inherit. For dealers, showing a buyer that a car's insurance and PUC are valid builds trust and closes deals faster. A quick registration-number check gives you the full compliance picture in one place.

Check any vehicle in seconds

Download the free TrueVahanInfo app, enter a number plate, and get full government-verified RC details — owner, address, insurance, PUC, fitness and financer — instantly.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check vehicle insurance by registration number?

Open TrueVahanInfo, enter the vehicle number and search. The report shows the insurance company, policy number and the date the insurance is valid until, so you can tell if it is active or expired.

Can I see which company insured the vehicle?

Yes, when the RTO record includes it you'll see the insurance company name, policy number and validity date in the Insurance section of the report.

Does the report also show PUC and fitness status?

Yes. Along with insurance, the report shows PUC (pollution certificate) validity, fitness/road-tax validity and more — a complete compliance snapshot.

Is this the same as buying or renewing insurance?

No. TrueVahanInfo only shows the current insurance status from the vehicle record. It does not sell or renew policies.
