Bike Registration Transfer Process Fee and Required Documents

The procedure to transfer a bike registration certificate in India typically involves several steps:

• Obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Regional Transport Office (RTO), where the bike is currently registered. This certificate is required to prove that the bike is not involved in any legal issues and that the current owner has no objections to the transfer of ownership.

• Fill out Form 29 and Form 30, which are required to transfer ownership. These forms are available at the RTO office and can also be downloaded from the official website of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.

• Submit Form 29, Form 30, NOC, and original registration certificate along with the necessary documents like ID proof and Address proof of the new owner.

• Pay the relevant fee for the transfer of ownership at the RTO office.

• The RTO will verify the bike transfer documents and process the application. Once the application is approved, the RTO will issue a new registration certificate in the new owner's name.

• It's important to note that the above-mentioned process can vary from state to state, and it's always better to check with the local RTO office before proceeding with the transfer process.
