New vehicle registration? Document list as per new FASTag regulations

FASTags have simplified toll payments across the country. Attaching the FASTag sticker to your vehicle’s windshield automates toll payments. This way, you can breeze through toll plazas with cashless payments for a smoother journey.

While getting a FASTag is easy, new vehicle registrations require completing the KYV verification. Are you familiar with this process?

Let’s explore.

What are the new guidelines?
 

The new guidelines mandate that vehicle images are linked to a FASTag.

This process establishes and authenticates the identity of your vehicle. In the case of FASTags, these vehicle images would ensure that each vehicle has a unique FASTag per the government’s one-vehicle-one-FASTag (OVOT) mandate.

When you buy a new vehicle and apply for a FASTag for the same, you must complete the KYV formalities. This process links your vehicle to a unique FASTag number, allowing the transport authority to track the vehicle as needed.

Documents required for new and existing customers
 

The documents required for new vehicle registration include the following –

1. A digital copy of the registration certificate (RC), uploaded through the Parivahan or DigiLocker portals, ensuring that the data is not masked
2. Front image of the vehicle capturing the vehicle number
3. Side image of the vehicle capturing the axles
4. An image of the FASTag affixed on the windscreen

In addition to these documents, the vehicle registration number (VRN), chassis number, and the vehicle owner’s mobile number should be provided. This will complete the VAHAN verification, and the FASTag will be activated in real-time.

Strategies to streamline the vehicle image verification process
 

Thanks to the digital platform, you can complete the vehicle image verification process in a few minutes and get the required FASTag with minimal hassles. To further streamline the process, here are some tips that can come in handy –

1. Keep all your documents handy to avoid delays
2. Ensure that the images of the vehicle, including the FASTag, are clear, legible, and sharp
3. The FASTag issuer will also verify your KYC, so keep your documents handy: these include valid identity proof, such as an Aadhaar card or PAN card
4. Your FASTag is linked to your mobile number. If you change your number, make sure to inform the issuer so they can update it in their database
