Law
Lto Memorandum Circular No. 775-2006
Decision Date
Aug 14, 2006
LTO Memorandum Circular No. 775-2006 mandates that Postal Money Order payments for motor vehicle user charges must be accompanied by copies of the official receipt and certificate of registration, ensuring that the remitter's name matches the registered owner's to avoid penalties and streamline processing.

Prohibition of Previous Manual Practices in the Automated System

  • The manual system's practice of accepting PMO payments under the conditions described is no longer acceptable.
  • The automated RCS Deposit Payment Handling system requires:
    • One PMO payment per motor vehicle.
    • 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.

Supersession and Compliance

  • All previous orders, circulars, and memoranda conflicting with these guidelines are superseded.
  • Strict compliance with these provisions is mandated.

Adoption and Authority

  • These guidelines were adopted on 14 August 2006.
  • Authorized by Assistant Secretary Anneli R. Lontoc.
