How to Renew Bluebook in Nepal
If you’re a vehicle owner in Nepal, renewing your Bluebook—a vital document that tracks your vehicle ownership and road tax payments—can feel like an overwhelming task. The process isn’t complicated, but the lack of clear information often makes it seem daunting. Don’t worry! With this friendly guide, you’ll breeze through the renewal process and keep your vehicle legally roadworthy.
Step 1: Gather the Required Documents
