  • They are made up of aluminum and are affixed using at least two non-reusable Snap-On locks.
  • The plate comprises hot-stamped chromium-based 20 mm X 20 mm hologram of Ashoka Chakra in blue colour on the top left corner.
  • At the bottom left corner is a 10-digit permanent identification number (PIN) that is laser branded on the reflective sheeting.
  • HSRP also includes a hot stamped film applied on the numerals and letters bearing the inscription “INDIA” at a 45-degree angle.
  • Once affixed, the unique high security registration plate is electronically linked to the vehicle.
  • Benefits: HSRP’s come with non-removable Snap-on locks and are difficult to replace.
  • HSRP’s are affixed by automobile dealers and private vendors approved by the state authorities.
  • These plates are issued only after the vehicle owner provides with information like engine number, chassis number, etc.
  • This is a crucial step in preventing counterfeiting of high security registration plates.
  • The details of a car, like engine number, chassis number, etc. are stored in a centralized database.
  • This information, along with the 10-digit PIN, helps the authorities to identify a stolen vehicle.
  • HSRPs have a uniform pattern of displaying motor vehicle registration number, therefore addressing the issue of ‘incomprehensible’ vehicle registration plates.

Verifying, please be patient.
