Getting a fancy vehicle number has become a status symbol and personal preference for many Indian vehicle owners. Whether you want “0001,” “7777,” or your lucky number, the Fancy Parivahan portal makes it possible to book VIP registration numbers online without visiting RTO offices or dealing with agents.

This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about fancy number booking online, understanding open series status, and navigating the parivahan.gov.in fancy number system successfully.

What is a Fancy or VIP Vehicle Number?

A fancy or VIP vehicle number is a special registration number that stands out from regular sequential numbers issued by RTOs. These numbers typically feature:

  • Repeating digits (1111, 2222, 8888)
  • Sequential patterns (1234, 9876)
  • Single or double digits (7, 77, 007)
  • Culturally significant numbers (108, 786, 1947)

Unlike regular numbers assigned automatically, fancy numbers require a separate application process and additional fees. They’re available for both cars and motorcycles across all Indian states.
