Same day release of new cars, motorcycles with license plate, OR/CR starts Oct. 15

Starting Oct. 15, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) will implement a policy that will compel car and motorcycle dealers to release the license plates and the Official Receipt and Certificate of Registration on the day that new motor vehicles are released to the owners.

- 

LTO chief Assistant Secretary Vigor D. Mendoza II said the policy is stipulated in a memorandum circular that will be forwarded to the district offices and motor vehicle dealers across the country for strict compliance.

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., during his State-of-the-Nation Address (SONA), directed the LTO through the Department of Transportation to ensure that the license plates and OR/CR are released to the owners of new motor vehicles to prevent another backlog within three days.
