Yeshwanthpur RTO KA-04: Address, Phone, Timings & Services

KA-04 is the RTO code for the Yeshwanthpur Regional Transport Office, which handles vehicle registration, driving licences and related services for Bangalore North. The office itself is in Yeshwanthpur — a Peenya address you may see listed elsewhere actually belongs to the separate driving-test track (see below).

Standing in a slow-moving line at the Yeshwanthpur RTO with an incomplete Form 20 in hand is the fastest way to lose an entire working day. Get the paperwork right before you walk in, and the same visit takes twenty minutes at the counter.

A note on location: Some directories and older listings place this office in "Peenya Industrial Area." That's not accurate for the administrative office — it's the driving-test track that's in Peenya (see "Driving Licence Testing" below), a few kilometres away. The administrative office itself sits on Railway Station Road in Yeshwanthpur, next to Yeshwanthpur Railway Junction.

KA-04 is the registration code for the Yeshwanthpur Regional Transport Office, one of Bangalore's older RTOs, operating under the Karnataka Transport Department. It is the licensing authority (Section 9) and registering authority (Section 39) under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, for Bangalore North.

KA-04 is the registration prefix for vehicles registered through this office — for example, a plate reading KA-04-AB-1234. We haven't found detailed, currently-verified information on how specific number blocks are allocated within KA-04, and haven't published any such breakdown here; treat any third-party claims about specific number-series allocations with caution unless confirmed through an official source.

Online vs In-Person

A number of routine KA-04 services — registration-related applications, ownership transfer, duplicate RCs, and licence renewals in many cases — can be completed through Parivahan's faceless e-governance workflow without a counter visit. An in-person visit generally remains necessary for the practical driving test and commercial vehicle inspection.

The Content Pack's research describes "33+ routine services" as fully faceless; we could not independently verify this figure, so treat it as a general direction rather than a confirmed current count — check the current service list on Parivahan before assuming a specific service is available online.

Driving Licence Testing: Office vs Peenya Test Track

The practical driving test for KA-04 is conducted at a dedicated test track in Peenya, 1st Stage — a genuinely separate location from the Yeshwanthpur administrative office, roughly a few kilometres away. This is independently confirmed by mapping data and a detailed first-hand visitor account, which also notes the track has historically been shared with the Rajaji Nagar RTO, with test slots split between the two offices across the day.

We could not verify current appointment/slot-booking rules or exactly how time is currently divided between offices, so confirm your test slot and venue through Sarathi rather than assuming a specific arrangement.

Commercial Vehicle Inspection

Commercial vehicle inspection for KA-04 is associated with the Peenya testing ground area as well, separate from the administrative office's registration and licensing counters. We could not independently verify the current inspection process — confirm by phone before sending a vehicle for testing.

Because the administrative office and the driving-test track are in different places, transit guidance differs depending on which one you need:

• To the Yeshwanthpur office: it sits next to Yeshwanthpur Railway Junction on Railway Station Road — the railway station itself is the most direct landmark. We have not independently confirmed a specific metro station walking distance for this exact location.

• To the Peenya test track: Peenya Industry and Peenya metro stations (both Green Line) are close by — the Peenya metro station is also the planned interchange for the upcoming Orange Line. Multiple BMTC routes serve the Peenya/Basaveshwara Bus Station area near the track.

• Road: Tumkur Road (NH-48) connects both Yeshwanthpur and Peenya, along with the Outer Ring Road.

• Parivahan — national portal for licence and registration services

• Sarathi — driving licence services and test-slot booking

• Vahan — vehicle registration and RC services

• Karnataka Transport Department — state-level services and office directory

Note: The office landlines are more reliably answered between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM on working days.
