MC Number Plate: Quetta, Balochistan

MC is a Balochistan-wide registration series issued to motorcycles. It is not tied to any one city, so the plate alone does not tell you where in Balochistan the vehicle was registered.

Balochistan motorcycle series appearing only as a format example on Excise Balochistan's page; district not stated.

Other Quetta codes: BAA, BSA, CAA, MA, MAQ, MB, TKA.

How to verify a vehicle with MC plates

  1. Open the Balochistan Excise vehicle verification service.
  2. Enter the registration number as printed.
  3. Confirm owner and vehicle particulars with the registration documents.
  4. If the online record is missing, the Quetta Motor Registration Wing can confirm it in person.

Before buying, check that the engine and chassis numbers in the Excise record match the numbers stamped on the vehicle, and that the token is paid up to 2026-27. Unpaid tokens usually have to be cleared before a transfer goes through.
