On 16 January 1991, three more RTAs were created at Rohtak, Karnal and Rewari. Now, each district headquarters has Regional Transport Office (RTO) headed by Regional Transport Secretary and vehicle registration and driving licenses can be obtained from each district headquarters (RTA office) and Tehsil headquarters (usually SDO-Civil i.e. Subdivisional officer - Civil).
