Vehicle RC Text and PDF
POST

Vehicle RC Text and PDF API — The Registration Certificate (RC) for a vehicle returned both ways in a single call: the full RC record as JSON, and a pdf_url pointing at a ready-to-print smart-card / A4 PDF of the same certificate. Send a vehicle registration number and receive the owner and address, chassis and engine numbers, make, model, body type, colour, fuel and emission norms, seating and weight specifications, cubic capacity, registering RTO, fitness and road-tax validity, hypothecation and financer, insurance and PUCC validity, permit details, and blacklist / NOC status — plus the document link. Dates come back as ISO YYYY-MM-DD and rc_status is published from a stable value set, so both the shape and the values of this response are guaranteed not to move. pdf_url is an empty string in the rare case where a document could not be produced; the record itself is unaffected, so check it before following the link. Generated documents stay downloadable for a limited time — fetch and store the file promptly rather than holding the link. Use this endpoint when you need to both read the RC data and hand someone a printable certificate; the Vehicle RC Verification and Vehicle RC PDF endpoints sell those halves separately. Built for vehicle onboarding, fleet and dealership records, insurance and loan files, and RTO-facing paperwork.
