What Are RTO Codes in Goa?

Every Regional Transport Office (RTO) in Goa is assigned a unique two-digit code by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH). This code forms the second segment of a vehicle's registration number, immediately after the state prefix GA.

For example, a vehicle registered at Panaji carries the code GA-01 in its number plate. This system helps law enforcement, insurance companies, and traffic authorities instantly identify where a vehicle was originally registered.

Goa currently has 12 registered RTOs spread across its districts and cities, each serving vehicle owners in that region.
