Law: Lto Memorandum

Decision Date: Jul 21, 2015

The LTO Memorandum mandates that adhesive or scotch tape stencils of engine and chassis numbers must be accepted for motor vehicles where direct stenciling is not possible, addressing complaints from manufacturers and dealers.

Law Summary

Method of Stenciling Engine/Chassis Numbers

Engine or chassis numbers on motor vehicles may be stenciled using adhesive or scotch tape.
This method is authorized exclusively for cases where the engine or chassis number cannot be directly stenciled onto the Motor Vehicle Inspection Report (MVIR).

Acceptance of Stenciled Numbers

All Land Transportation Office (LTO) District and Extension Offices are directed to accept engine or chassis number stencils applied using adhesive or scotch tape under the conditions stated.
Prior complaints indicated some LTO offices did not accept this method, prompting this directive to standardize practice across offices.

Purpose and Compliance

The directive aims to resolve inconsistencies and ensure uniform acceptance of stencils applied via adhesive or scotch tape.
It is issued for strict compliance by all concerned parties to facilitate smooth processing and inspection of motor vehicles.
