Delhi: Online bookings for high-security registration plates and colour-coded stickers resume today, here's how to apply

The Delhi Government is all set to resume the online bookings for high-security registration number plates (HSRP) and colour-coded stickers for old vehicles from November 1. 

Earlier, on October 6 the Delhi transport minister Kailash Gahlot had directed the transport department to temporarily hold online booking after complaints of technical glitches reported by vehicle owners.

However, the problem now seems to be fixed and the state transport department is all set to take online bookings of  HSRP and colour-coded stickers.

In order to meet the challenges, the government has decided to increase the number of outlets for installation of high-security registration plates and colour coded stickers from 150 to 160.

The transport minister in a tweet also said that the customer will be kept informed at every stage through SMS. He also said that the option of home delivery will also be provided to the customers.

What is a high-security registration plate?

HSRPs will be an aluminium plate with a hologram on it. These holograms will have a laser-branded permanent identification number, which cannot be copied. The colour-coded stickers would be meant to identify vehicles based on their fuel type. But what is interesting is that these stickers will include details like the registration number, the registering authority, a laser-branded PIN, and the engine and chassis numbers of the vehicle.
