About the Tehri Garhwal transport office

When Uttar Pradesh was bifurcated in November 2000 to create the new state of Uttarakhand (initially Uttaranchal), vehicle registration management for Tehri Garhwal transferred to the newly formed state administration. Consequently, the UP 08 series was officially retired and marked defunct by the Uttar Pradesh Transport Department. Vehicles registered in this region under modern Uttarakhand administration now receive state registration codes starting with UK 07 or UK 09 depending on the sub-district jurisdiction. Older vehicles that were registered prior to the state reorganization still retain UP 08 on their original number plates and official records.
