The Process of Applying for a VIP Registration Number in Shillong

Since the VIP registration numbers are highly in demand among the motorcycle enthusiasts in Shillong, a number of people apply for the same number. In such cases, the number is allotted to the applicants through auctioning. The applicants have to bid for their desired numbers and whoever quotes the highest amount gets the ownership of the specific number. However, in instances where the number is not requested by any other two-wheeler owner, the number is directly allotted to the requester at a pre-specified amount.

The interested motorcycle owners need to submit their application for the registration number to the RTO of Shillong. Here is the process in detail:

1. Go to the RTO office in Shillong and check the list of the VIP two-wheeler numbers that are available for registration.
2. Though you will get numbers for both transport and non-transport category, you must select from the list of numbers that are allotted for the LMV-Non Transport category as your vehicle is meant for personal use.
3. Next, you have to get a FORM-21 from the RTO and prepare a Demand Draft in the name of your RTO.
4. Submit the form and the Demand Draft at the RTO and wait until it is processed.
5. If your requested number is found to be applied by any other applicant, the RTO will invite you to bid for it. Be present on the auction date to bid and own the desired number.
6. If you are the only applicant for the number that you have requested, the RTO will either provide you the receipt or return the Demand Draft.

The process can also be conducted online for which you have to visit the official transport website of Meghalaya  and follow the given steps.
