Guidelines on Issuance of Private MV MC Plates

Plates must be issued in strict numerical sequence.
The issuance follows a first-in, first-out basis to ensure orderly distribution.
In cases where the physical plate’s numeric ending differs from the system-assigned temporary plate number, a prior LTO Memorandum dated August 4, 2014, guides the assignment and collection related to plate numbers and motor vehicle user charges (MVUC).

If physical plates are unavailable at the regional or local issuing office, the Central Office Property Section provides the Region with an allocated series list.
These allocated numbers serve as permanent plate numbers for private MVs and MCs upon initial registration.
An improvised plate displaying the assigned permanent plate number will be printed instead of using the file number or conduction sticker number.
The permanent plate number must be reflected in the Certificate of Registration (CR).
The CR should be countersigned by the authorized signatory who issued it.

Plate Request Forms (PRFs) must be submitted timely as per the schedule in the LTO Memorandum dated January 20, 2014, concerning consolidated guidelines on plate request preparation.
Plate Monitoring Reports are to be submitted monthly, specifically by the 7th day of the following month.
These reports are filed with the Plate Unit of the Property Section, LTO Central Office.

The list of actual plates issued to private motor vehicles and motorcycles between February 17 and May 31, 2014, must be submitted to the Motorcycles and Illegal Devices Division (MID) not later than October 6, 2014.
Submission should use the naming convention: Region + Month + Year + '_platea'.
Example provided: "a01 April 2014_platea" for Region I’s report for April 2014.

The guidelines are issued under the authority of the Assistant Secretary, emphasizing strict compliance.
All designated officers are responsible for adhering to the procedures and schedules set forth to ensure proper plate issuance and data accuracy.

The memorandum references previous memoranda as foundational for procedures and compliance, ensuring consistency in plate assignment and reporting.
Usage of permanent plate numbers and improvised plates ensures vehicle registration integrity pending receipt of official plates.
