Delhi Police provides an online Motor Vehicle Theft e-FIR (MV Theft e-FIR) service through which a person can report the theft of a motor vehicle without necessarily visiting a police station.
The Motor Vehicle Theft Web Application has been developed to facilitate registration of FIRs in automobile theft cases and to initiate investigation-related processes. Delhi Police states that the system also provides mechanisms to keep complainants informed about investigative efforts and facilitates time-bound disposal of undetected cases, including court processing of final reports for insurance purposes.
The service is available through the Citizen Services section of the official Delhi Police website, which lists "MV Theft E FIR" as an online service.

What Happens After Filing the Motor Vehicle Theft e-FIR?
Delhi Police states that the Motor Vehicle Theft Web Application is intended to facilitate registration of FIRs in automobile theft cases and prompt initiation of automated investigation measures. The system also incorporates processes for keeping complainants informed about investigative efforts.
The system provides for time-bound closure of undetected cases and electronic handling of final reports through designated courts. Delhi Police states that this can enable a victim to obtain the necessary closure report for pursuing an insurance claim.
The online system is therefore intended to support both FIR registration and subsequent investigation or closure processes for eligible motor vehicle theft cases.
How to View or Download a Motor Vehicle Theft FIR
Delhi Police provides an online facility for viewing or downloading a Motor Vehicle Theft FIR. The MVT View FIR facility currently asks for the registered mobile number.

Is Visiting the Police Station Necessary?
The MV Theft e-FIR service is designed to facilitate online registration of automobile-theft FIRs. However, if the portal does not accept the particular case, technical difficulties arise, or immediate police intervention is required, contact the police directly.
Search for a Stolen Vehicle
Delhi Police also provides a separate Stolen Vehicles Search service under Citizen Services. This is different from registering an FIR or downloading its copy. To determine whether a vehicle appears in Delhi Police stolen-vehicle records, use the relevant Stolen Vehicles Search facility on the official Delhi Police website.
