Q&A (LTO MEMORANDUM)

The memorandum addresses the use and regulation of commemorative plates on motor vehicles, particularly the policies regarding their issuance and display alongside regular car plates.

No, the commemorative plate shall not be used in place of the regular car plate. The regular plate must still be displayed in its designated space.

The commemorative plate shall be installed at the space allotted for the front plate by superimposing or placing it on top of the regular plate.

No, it is strictly prohibited to remove any regular plate to accommodate the commemorative plate.

Section 3A provides that commemorative plates shall not replace the regular car plates and that the regular plates should be maintained in the space provided even when a commemorative plate is used.

It states that the first letter of the alpha and the last digit of the numeric part of the regular plate are reflected at the right of the identification alphanumerics on the commemorative plate to help enforcers identify the regular plates and prevent transfers.

The National Centennial Commission commemorative plate was valid until December 31, 1999.

The purpose is to display both plates simultaneously without compromising the visibility and legality of the regular plate, ensuring compliance with vehicle registration laws.
