FAQ
Tamil Nadu RTO — frequently asked questions
What does the TN prefix on a number plate mean?

How many RTOs are there in Tamil Nadu?
Tamil Nadu has 90 RTO offices listed in our directory. The capital is Chennai, which typically hosts the head RTO. Smaller districts have ARTOs (Assistant RTOs).
Can I check a Tamil Nadu vehicle from outside the state?
Yes — the Vehicle Information app works for all India regardless of where you are. TN plates can be looked up from any state.
Where can I find the contact number for a specific Tamil Nadu RTO?
Click on any RTO city in the list above to see its detail page with contact information (where available). Or visit the official Parivahan portal at parivahan.gov.in.
How do I transfer a TN vehicle to another state?
You'll need a NOC from your current Tamil Nadu RTO followed by re-registration in the new state. See our NOC guide for the full step-by-step process.
