The RTO (Regional Transport Office) in Karnataka is an important government body that manages everything related to vehicles and drivers in the state. If you have a car, bike, or any vehicle in Karnataka, the RTO is where you'll go for registration, driving licenses, road tax, and more.

RTO Karnataka handles many services:

• Vehicle registration: You must register your vehicle with the RTO to drive legally.
  
• Driving license: RTO conducts tests and issues learners and permanent licenses.
  
• Road tax collection: RTO collects road tax from vehicle owners.
  
• Pollution certificates: RTO checks vehicle pollution levels.
  
• Permit issuance: For commercial vehicles, RTO gives necessary permits.

If you buy a new vehicle, you must register it with your nearest RTO office. You'll need documents like:

• Identity proof
• Address proof
• Insurance copy
• Purchase invoice
• Form 20 (application for registration)
  

To drive legally, you must have a valid driving license. First, apply for a Learner's License. You can do this online on the Parivahan website. After one month, take the driving test to get a Permanent License. You'll need:

• Medical certificate (for age 50+ or transport license)
• ID and address proof
• Passport-size photos

Each area in Karnataka has its own RTO code. For example:

• KA-01 - Bengaluru Central
• KA-03 - Bengaluru East
• KA-05 - Bengaluru South
  

This code is a part of your vehicle number plate.
