MH-02 Andheri RTO: Address, Phone, Timings & Services

MH-02 is the registration code for the Regional Transport Office serving Mumbai's western suburbs, based in Ambivali Village on Versova Road, Andheri West. It handles vehicle registration, driving licences and related services for Andheri, Versova, Juhu and the surrounding area. This page resolves a PIN-code conflict in the underlying research and covers the office's contact details, jurisdiction and driving-test routing.

Mumbai isn’t just India’s financial capital, which means it attracts attention from the entire country (and by extension, the world). It is, quite simply, a massive on-road ecosystem with lakhs of active vehicles on the road every hour of every day. Hence, as we’ve covered before here many times, it also has a network of several bustling RTOs that are built to ensure that things continue to operate under legal jurisdictions.

Among these, one of the busiest and most influential offices is Andheri RTO, officially coded MH-02.

MH-02 is the registration code for the Regional Transport Office covering Mumbai's western suburbs, operating under the Maharashtra Transport Department. It is the licensing authority (Section 9) and registering authority (Section 39) under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, for Andheri, Versova, Juhu and the surrounding western-suburb catchment.

MH-02's catchment covers Andheri (East and West), Versova, Juhu and the surrounding western suburbs. One independent source describes the jurisdiction as spanning roughly 21 pincodes and 62 areas in total — considerably broader than any single locality list can capture in full.

PIN codes across this jurisdiction: 400050, 400052, 400053, 400054, 400055, 400056, 400057, 400058, 400060, 400069. Of these, 400053 (Azad Nagar), 400058 (Amboli) and 400069 (Andheri East) are directly confirmed by independent sources. Confirm your exact locality through India Post or Parivahan if you're near a jurisdiction boundary.

Online vs In-Person

A number of routine MH-02 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/auto-rickshaw fitness inspection.

Which specific services are fully paperless changes over time — check the current service list on Parivahan before assuming a specific service is available online.

Driving Licence Testing: Office vs Test Circuit

Practical driving tests for MH-02 are conducted at the Ambivali/Versova Road test circuit, within the wider RTO grounds but functionally separate from the counters where paperwork and licensing are handled. Confirm your test slot and venue through Sarathi rather than assuming a specific procedure.

Commercial Vehicle Fitness

Auto-rickshaw and commercial vehicle fitness inspections for MH-02 are handled at a dedicated testing bay within the Andheri complex, distinct from routine registration and licensing counters. Confirm the current process by phone before sending a vehicle for testing.
