High Security Number Plate (HSRP)
A secure approval process starts with a secure, clearly assigned number plate for vehicles of all types. Security features such as holograms, laser engravings, watermarks or seals can be combined with one another as desired and according to customer specifications. Integration into existing concepts is also possible.
Secure vehicle registration plates
In combination with each other, the security features increase protection against vehicle and license plate theft, manipulation, fraud or copying. They ensure the authenticity of the primary vehicle identifier.
A clear vehicle identity and authenticity arise from the connection of the information from the third license plate (so-called windshield tag) with the vehicle and the owner. The authenticity is guaranteed by the assignment (“marriage”) in the registration database or the vehicle register!
DKT produces license plate blanks of all types, sizes and designs for all vehicle types and for national and international markets. Our quality standard “Made in Germany” is based on DIN 74069 and ISO 7591 and ISO 9001:2015
What are the benefits of HSRP number plates?
Getting an HSRP has been mandated. Even so, here are HSRP number plate benefits.
The number plates available before April 2019 were easy to tamper with and could be removed and changed easily. This aided a rise in theft. Thieves replace registration numbers installed after stealing it, making it nearly impossible for the authorities to track the vehicle. HSRP number plates come with a non-removable snap-on lock that is non-reusable and cannot be replaced.
HSRP’s are installed by select registered automobile dealers and private vendors which are approved by the state authorities. These plates are issued only when a vehicle owner provides information like engine number, chassis number, etc. By streamlining these authorized number plate installations, chances of counterfeits of these high security registration plates become impossible.
Getting an HSRP also helps accumulate crucial information on car details, like engine number, chassis number, etc., and store it in a central database. This information with your vehicle’s pin helps the authorities to track down your vehicle easily.
Previously installed number plates used to come with different fonts and styles customized by the vehicle owners. This made it difficult for traffic police personnel to read the vehicle’s registration number, especially if it was moving. With HSRP, registration plates will have unified fonts and styles, making them better comprehensible.
These are some of the benefits of high security number plates. Next, understand how to apply for a high security number plate.
What are the differences between HSRP and a normal number plate?
Additionally, an HSRP number plate comes with several features which are missing in a normal number plate –
The HSRP is strictly to be made of aluminium and comes with two non-reusable security locks which are tamper-proof. This means that once these locks are broken, you cannot reattach the number plate and need to purchase a new one from an authorised retailer only.
The number plate also comes with a chromium-based Ashoka Chakra on the left.
The PIN is laser encoded so it can be easily scanned and also makes it tamper-proof.
The fonts and style are kept the same, unlike the previous number plates.
The HSRP is also to be clubbed with a colour-coded sticker to denote the fuel type.
These are just some of the differences between a high security number plate and a normal number plate.
With the HSRP being a mandate, all vehicle owners have around a year to install their new number plates. We suggest you get it sooner to avoid the last-minute rush.

FAQ's
Recently the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) and Delhi Transport Department made it mandatory for all vehicles to get a high security registration plate (HSRP) fixed along with a colour-coded plate for vehicles which were sold before April 2019. Not getting an HSRP number plate will cost you a fine of Rs. 5000 to Rs. 10000. In this post, we will give you all the information you need about HSRP.
High security number plates are number plates made of aluminium and are fixed onto the vehicle using a minimum of two non-reusable snap-on locks. The plate has a hot-stamped chromium-based 20 mm X 20 mm hologram of Ashoka Chakra in blue colour on the top left corner. A 12-digit permanent identification number (PIN) is laser branded on the bottom left corner of this plate.
HSRP also has a hot-stamped film applied on the numerals and alphabets, which has ‘INDIA’ inscribed at a 45-degree angle. This plate is also electronically linked to the vehicle where it is installed.
Now that you know what is HSRP for vehicles, you must understand who needs the same. All vehicle owners must get an HSRP fixed before July 2022. Number plates sold after 2019 are already HSRP, so people who bought a number plate before 2019 need to get it changed.
