How to print your RC as a PVC card
- Download the RC PDF from DigiLocker or the Parivahan portal.
- Choose it in the tool above. It normally opens with no password.
- Check the crop the tool shows. RC layouts differ by State and year, so a side may need moving.
- To fix a side, open Crop not right? Adjust, drag the box onto the certificate, and use Back and the page selector for the reverse.
- Download both sides at 600 DPI, or the A4 print sheet. Print at 100% scale.
Where the PDF comes from
The electronic Registration Certificate comes from DigiLocker or the Parivahan portal. It is taken from the Vahan record for your vehicle, and it normally opens without a password.
Why RC layouts vary
Like driving licences, RCs use a national system but are issued by each State transport authority. The PDF layout changes with the State and the year of issue. Expect to check the crop before printing, and to move it now and then.
Printing tip for RC
The chassis and engine numbers are long and printed small. Use 600 DPI, not 300, so every character is clear. More settings are in the PVC card print size guide.
