Many people choose their fancy number as per numerology, date of birth, religion, lucky number, etc. So to obtain a fancy vehicle registration number in Karnataka, it is necessary to know the right procedure to apply for it.
When you apply for a fancy number, please bear in mind that others also might apply for the same number.
