Jammu and Kashmir RTO codes list 2026 is out with 20 regional transport offices, running from JK-01 to JK-22. Every vehicle registered in the union territory carries the JK prefix, and the two digits after it tell you which office issued that number plate.
One big change since the older list: Leh and Kargil are no longer part of the JK series. After Ladakh became a separate union territory, those two offices moved to the LA series. So JK-07 and JK-10 are no longer in use in Jammu and Kashmir.
Jammu and Kashmir RTO Codes List 2026
Here is the full list of Jammu and Kashmir RTO codes with the district, PIN code and office address. The list covers all 20 offices that currently issue JK registration numbers.
JK is the state code. The next two digits are the office that registered the vehicle, followed by a letter series and a four digit number. Lower numbers belong to older offices, so the code gives you a rough idea of where and when a vehicle was first registered.
