Whether you’ve got a bike, scooter, or car — here’s your complete guide to HSRP registration 2025 with all the steps, FAQs, and real talk.
🧐 What is HSRP, Anyway?
HSRP stands for High Security Registration Plate — it’s a tamper-proof, standardized number plate that comes with:
-
A unique laser code
-
Chromium-based hologram
-
Snap-lock that can’t be reused
-
A color-coded sticker that tells fuel type (for 4-wheelers)
This plate helps reduce vehicle theft and keeps things neat and trackable across India.
⚠️ Is HSRP Mandatory?
Yes, totally. As per the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), HSRP is mandatory for all vehicles sold before April 2019. If your vehicle already has it from the dealer (after 2019), you’re good.
If not? Then you must apply online — or risk getting fined!
✅ Who Should Register?
You must register if:
-
Your vehicle (bike/scooter/car) was bought before April 1, 2019
-
You still have the old number plate
-
You live in a state where HSRP has been made mandatory (which is pretty much everywhere now 😅)

😅 What If You Don’t Get HSRP?
Well, here’s the deal — not having HSRP can get you fined. States like Delhi, UP, and Haryana have started fining up to ₹5,000 for not having HSRP plates or color-coded stickers.
So yeah, better to spend ₹600 now than ₹5,000 later.
