How to check any vehicle's registration details online in Pakistan using MTMIS — by SMS or the provincial Excise website, plus what the report shows.
Before buying a used car or bike, verify its registration through MTMIS (Motor Transport Management Information System). It confirms the owner's name, engine and chassis numbers, model year, and whether token tax is paid — protecting you from stolen or non-transferred vehicles. Each province has its own MTMIS portal and SMS service.
The quickest method is SMS; the web portals show fuller details. Always match the engine and chassis numbers on the report with the physical vehicle and its file.
Get the vehicle's registration (number plate) exactly as issued, e.g. "LEA-1234".
Punjab, Sindh, KP, Balochistan and Islamabad each run their own Excise MTMIS. Use the one that issued the plate.
Send the registration number to your province's Excise SMS code (for example, Punjab uses 8785). You get a reply with the vehicle's details.
Open your province's Excise/MTMIS site and enter the registration number to see the full record.
Check the owner name, make/model, model year, engine and chassis numbers, and token-tax status.
Compare the engine and chassis numbers on the report against the actual vehicle and its documents before you pay or transfer.
Send the registration number to your province's Excise SMS code (e.g. 8785 in Punjab) or use the provincial MTMIS website. You get the owner, make/model, engine/chassis numbers and token status.
MTMIS (Motor Transport Management Information System) is the Excise & Taxation online system that lets anyone verify a vehicle's registration details in their province.
To confirm the seller is the real owner, the engine and chassis numbers match, token tax is paid, and the vehicle is not stolen or under any hold.
