High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) use standardised security features and vehicle-linked identifiers. Booking arrangements can differ by state and vehicle age, so use only the portal or vendor authorised for the registering state and verify every detail before payment.

Common problems and practical fixes
| Problem | What to do |

| Site demands unusual transfer | Stop and verify whether it is an authorised portal. |
Safety and privacy checks
HSRP scams copy state branding. Confirm the provider through an official government or transport-authority page.
- Type or bookmark the official address instead of trusting an advertisement or unsolicited message.
- Do not share passwords, OTPs, UPI PINs or card credentials with an agent or with Parivaahan.org.
- Save the official acknowledgement or receipt, but keep personal documents out of public comments and emails.
