Question & AnswerQ&A (LTFRB MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 90-014)
The subject of LTFRB Memorandum Circular No. 90-014 is the submission of originals or certified true copies of vehicle Certificate of Registration (CR) and Official Receipt (OR) in applications, including amendments for kabit legalization.
LTFRB Memorandum Circular No. 90-014 amends Memorandum Circular No. 89-015.
Acceptable documents include: 1) Original Certificate of Registration (CR) and Official Receipt (OR); 2) LTO duly certified copies of CR and OR; 3) LTO certification attesting to the correctness of the contents of the duplicate copies of the CR and OR.
In this context, 'kabit legalization' refers to the process of legalizing additional or successive units of public utility vehicles apparently previously not registered or authorized, requiring presentation of appropriate vehicle documents.
No, submission of original CR and OR is one option. Certified true copies or LTO certifications are acceptable alternatives.
The memorandum circular became effective immediately upon its adoption on June 13, 1990.
The LTO may provide certified true copies of the CR and OR or certifications confirming the correctness of duplicate documents submitted, which may be accepted in place of the originals.
DOTC Assistant Secretary and Acting Board Member Nicolas B. Acacio, Jr. was also involved in the adoption.
It provides applicants flexibility and safeguards against loss or damage of original documents while maintaining document authenticity through LTO certification.
