- The name of the registered owner must match the PMO remitter's name.
Requirements for Processing PMO Payments
- All PMO payments must be accompanied by xerox copies of the latest OR and CR of the motor vehicle.
- If PMO payment is transmitted without the required OR and CR:
- The PMO remitter's name must be indicated on the OR acknowledging the PMO payment.
Handling Name Discrepancies Between Registered Owner and PMO Remitter
- If the registered owner’s name differs from the PMO remitter’s name, supported by documentation, the PMO payment shall not be applied.
- The corresponding MVUC must be collected with a 50% penalty.
PMO Payment Allocation and Overpayment Rules
- Only one PMO payment is allowed per motor vehicle.
- In cases of overpayment reflected in the OR:
- The excess payment shall be credited to the next registration year for the same vehicle.
- For miscellaneous transactions prior to renewal registration, the registered owner must keep a xerox copy of the registration OR to facilitate application of overpayment.
