Lost or damaged RC? Get a duplicate, with address change if needed.
In short
To get a duplicate RC in Bangalore, file Form 26 with your insurance, valid PUC, address and ID proof, and a police complaint copy if the RC was lost. After signature verification at the RTO, the duplicate RC is posted to you, usually within 20 to 25 days.
If your RC is lost, damaged or stolen, you can apply for a duplicate so your vehicle papers stay in order. You can also update your address on the new RC at the same time.
