LTO mandates same-day release of plates for new vehicles starting Oct 15

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has issued a new guideline mandating the same-day release of license plates and official registration documents for newly purchased motor vehicles.

This initiative aligns with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s directive to expedite the release process of these crucial vehicle documents.

LTO Chief Vigor Mendoza II stated that while the President's instruction was for a three-day release, the LTO aims for same-day issuance to enhance efficiency.

The new policy, effective October 15, seeks to prevent the recurrence of significant backlogs, such as the 12 million license plates that were recently cleared.

Under the new memorandum circular, car dealers will be prohibited from releasing any brand-new motor vehicle or motorcycle without its corresponding LTO license plate and Certificate of Registration and Official Receipt (OR/CR).
