FAQ: Everything You to Need to Know About Temporary Plates and No OR/CR, No Travel


UPDATE 2: Standardized temporary plates has been postponed. Read it here (3/8).

UPDATE 1: The LTO has suspended the No OR/CR, No Travel for now. Read it here (2/23).

Standardized temporary plates? No OR/CR, No Travel policy? Confused with all this? Get all the answers to your questions here. For ease of reading, we have indicated key words in bold.

What is this new issue with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)?

Well, aside from the backlog when it comes to the issuance of new number plates and driver licenses, there are two new issues here:

The first one deals with a memorandum issued by the Assistant Secretary of the LTO last January 11, 2017 and is already in effect. It has to do with the standardization of temporary plates by using the MV file number for motorcycles and a combination of conduction sticker and MV file number for anything with more than two wheels.

It’s the memorandum requiring all vehicles released on or after February 15, 2017 onwards to have a certain temporary plate format for “unity and ease of visual recognition.” And the memorandum put on vehicle dealers the obligation of attaching on the vehicle the unified temporary plate format with complete information before delivery or release to the buyer.

Now, the MV file number appears only on the Certificate of Registration (CR) which one gets only upon completion of the registration process. And thus the second issue is what impacts on the sale of vehicles.

The second issue is the more pressing one, but is often lumped together with the first issue and because the public has gotten used to lax implementation of the law.

This second issue is the strict implementation of the No OR/CR, No Travel rule.

In the first paragraph of the memo in which it cites Republic Act 4136 or the Traffic Code of the Philippines, the LTO will apprehend and fine drivers using an unregistered vehicle, be it a two-, three-, four-, or even six- or eight-wheeled vehicle.

The exact words the memo uses are: “to ensure that only registered motor vehicles are used or operated on any public highway”. This is the most critical part of the memo and it is much too overlooked.

RA 4136 specifies that only registered motor vehicles can be operated on Philippine roads. People think the conduction sticker allows use of a car.  That’s inaccurate because even on the LTO’s website it says:
(1.a.a.1) Issuance of Conduction Sticker – Conduction Stickers are only issued to accredited assemblers and importers of whole MV for road testing and delivery. The conduction sticker is used to allow legal utilization of motor vehicles prior to its initial registration.
The legal use referred to in the above is road testing and delivery.

Adding to the wrong impression about Conduction Stickers allowing use of a vehicle, is the idea that it is allowed for 7 days. This too is wrong.

The 7-day window for a dealer to register a sold vehicle with the LTO is merely the penalty-free window within which the registration must be processed. (RA 4136. Chapter V. Sec. 56. A.) This doesn’t mean that a vehicle can be operated without registration. In fact, RA 4136 also penalizes driving a motor vehicle without registration. (Chapter V. Sec. 56. D.)

So why exactly is needing an MV file number and not being able to use an unregistered vehicle going to impact the buying experience? 

Well, if registration happened within the day of purchase, there would be no issue. The impact comes from the fact that it takes anywhere from 14 to 90 days to complete registration.

These completion times are based on transmittal receipts held by vehicle dealers.

Is it possible to complete the registration process within the 7-day period prescribed?

Oh yes, it is possible to complete registration within even 1, 2, or 3 days, but these usually happen when there is public scrutiny or special considerations like “SOP” or high connections.

Are these memorandums affecting Metro Manila only or is it nationwide?

This is nationwide.

Where can I see a copy of these memorandums?

You can check out the memorandum on the standardized plates here.  As for the No OR/CR, No Travel Policy, you can refer to the Traffic Code of the Philippines.

If it’s taking the government so long in issuing plates, why don’t we just use the Conduction Sticker numbers permanently?

As mentioned above, Conduction Stickers serve a very specific purpose. It’s issued to accredited assemblers and importers of whole motor vehicles (MV) for road testing and delivery only. The conduction sticker is used to allow the legal use of a vehicle prior to its initial registration. The LTO is only “enforcing the law” that requires motor vehicles to be registered before its release.

What about these Virtual Plates?

Because of the backlog in getting the permanent plate numbers, the LTO is issuing so-called “Virtual Plates”. Virtual Plates contain the car registration numbers issued for a new vehicle; it’s just that the assigned plate number isn’t available yet. Having a virtual plate helps in the release of your permanent plate number in the future.

Now, this is where it gets tricky.

The law actually prohibits the making and/or using of improvised plates. It has corresponding fines unless you have an Authority to Operate with the Use of Improvised Plates. With that in mind, if you plan to use your Virtual Plate number, always have a copy of your OR/CR with you and a copy of the Authority to Operate with the Use of Improvised Plates.

If I bought a vehicle before February 15, 2017, how does it affect me?

If you have your OR/CR with you, then these two memorandums don’t affect you much. You can be pulled over by authorized LTO personnel, yes, but there are no fines involved. All you need to prove is that: first, you bought the vehicle before February 15, hence not needing the standardized temporary plate; and second, that you have the OR/CR with you to prove ownership. In other words, if you don’t want the hassle, just ditch those “Euro” or “JDM” look temporary plates and go for the standardized format.

If you don’t have an OR/CR yet, you cannot use your vehicle. The 7-day window using the Vehicle Sales Invoice or Delivery Receipt, does not work anymore. There was never a 7-day legal usage window in the first place. It came about from misinterpretation and “nakagawian”. You can be fined P 10,000 for using an unregistered vehicle. If registered to another owner, the owner is fined P 10,000 and the driver, P 1,000.

If I bought a vehicle on or after February 15, 2017, how does it affect me?

Your vehicle should have been released by the dealer with the standardized temporary plate already attached. It should indicate details such as the Conduction Sticker number, dealer name, and MV File Number. And since the MV File Number is only generated once your vehicle has been registered, you should also have your OR/CR too.

If you still don’t have your OR/CR, you cannot use your vehicle. Even if you use the standardized temporary plate, but don’t have the MV File Number, you are considered an unregistered vehicle. You can be pulled over and fined. The fine is also P 10,000 to the owner and P 1,000 to the driver.

How many times can I be pulled over in a day? And how many times can they fine me?

It’s not known at this time.

Who can apprehend me?

Currently, only LTO personnel/enforcers and the PNP (Philippine National Police) including the HPG (Highway Patrol Group) can pull over and/or apprehend erring motorists. It remains to be seen if agencies such as the MMDA (Metro Manila Development Authority) and local police will implement this No OR/CR, No Travel Policy.

If I get pulled over, what are my rights?

Understanding that there are delays in the issuance of the OR/CR, the LTO said that they’ll be lenient initially and let motorists and dealers out with just a warning. While they are working to speed up the vehicle registration process, they are discouraging motorists and dealers from giving “SOP” because this will simply lead to increased corruption within the LTO; the very same thing the Durterte Administration is trying to snuff out.

Do dealers have fines too?

Yes, they share in the burden too. The use of non-standardized temporary plates will net the dealer P 100,000 for the first violation; P 500,000 for the second violation; and revocation of their LTO accreditation for the third. The same fines apply if a vehicle is released with no MV file number because it makes the standardized temporary plate invalid. This is the reason why several dealers haven’t had any new vehicle release for almost a week now.

If I just bought a new vehicle, how long do I have to wait until my vehicle gets released?

It depends actually. Ideally, it takes only 7 days for the OR/CR to become available. Once you have it, then you can freely use your new vehicle. In reality though, there have been some reports of backlog at the LTO stretching up to 90 days. If that’s the case, you can’t use your new vehicle or even bring it out of the showroom unless you either: drive it yourself and risk being fined; or two, bring it home on a car carrier and park it in your garage. In both cases, your new vehicle will be decoration in your garage until you get your hands on the OR/CR.

Who’s at fault with all these delays?

It seems the dealers and the LTO are pointing fingers at each other.

As a bit of a background, three types of paperwork is required to successfully register a new vehicle. You’ll need the Sales Invoice (dealer generated), PNP Clearance or MVCC (Motor Vehicle Clearance Certificate) (PNP generated, applied for by dealer or manufacturer), and Certificate of Stock Reported or CSR (manufacturer or importer generated).

It seems the delays (from the dealer side) are coming from the issuance of the PNP Clearance and the CSR. The CSR is especially tricky since this comes from the manufacturers/distributors themselves, so the dealer has largely no control.

More often than not though, the delays have something to do with the LTO system itself. Though they have come up with solutions to reduce the registration backlog, such as implementing a DIY Registration System for dealers, the fact is, the 7-day window is rarely met. Also, the DIY registration system is still a concept under discussion among stakeholders. The actual implementation doesn’t even have a proposed launch date yet.

So why the long processing time?

Apart from the finger pointing, another reason for such a long processing time is that the registration process has not significantly evolved since the signing of RA 4136 in 1964!

The CSR process requires multiple clearance application and reporting by the importer/manufacturer, then multiple clearance, evaluation, and registration by dealers, while also submitting multiple copies of redundant documentation despite computerization. And the same process exists despite the fact that the number of vehicles sold has grown exponentially since 1964.

What ties everyone’s hands is that the old law RA 4136 and Republic Act 6539 (An Act Preventing and Penalizing Carnapping) have strictly defined how the registration process must be done. Without a revision of these laws, the multiple redundant steps may still have to exist.

Even if dealers have submitted all the necessary documents for registration, the paperwork is lost in the multiple manual steps and reviews resulting in delays in the release of the OR/CR.

If I think I’ve encountered an erring LTO personnel, who can I contact?

You can contact the Land Transportation Office or LTO through their website or land line: 02-922-9061 to 66.

  5. WHY IS LTO NOT WORKING WELL OR NOT DOING ITS PART FOR THE BENEFITS OF THE PUBLIC BUYERS? FOR EXAMPLE, MY CRV NEW PLATE NUMBER WOULD TAKE ALMOST THREE YEARS NOW, THE NEW PLATE IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE? AND WHY PROHIBIT THE USE OF UNREGISTERED CAR WHEN ITS THE AGENCY'S FAILURE AND FAULT TO FASTLY SERVE THE PEOPLE? YOU WANT ONLY TAX PAID TO THE GOVERNMENT AND YET FORGOT TO SERVE THE PEOPLE VERY WELL. MAGTRABAHO KAYO NG MAAYUS AT EFFICIENT AND DON'T BURDEN THE PEOPLE OF NOT USING THEIR RIGHTS TO USE THEIR VEHICLE ON THE ROAD WHEN IT IS YOUR BIG FAILURE TO PROCESS. WITH THIS BACK LOG IT MEANS YOU ARE NOT FUNCTIONING WELL AND NOT SERVING THE PEOPLE.

  8. Duterte should treat the LTO like a CEO would do for a company. If after 8 months, the department is unable to deliver any of its functions, in this case, license plates, license cards and now something as simple as OR and CR, then the CEO should either fire the department head or abolish the department altogether. If a department is not functioning, just eliminate it. The guy Duterte assigned to the position, Galvante, is not even qualified for the job. Heck, he only got it because he is a close friend of the president.

  17. Registration would have been easy if the LTO,TRAFCOM are interlinked. Meaning as soon as the dealer invoice the sale, since there will be no more hassle like having your documents checked by HPG, then send that for uplaoding at the DOTC then pay for the release of your OR and CR. Exhausting process for dealers. Then they get the blame for not being able to give the OR and CR to the clients.
    Registration would be easy for dealers to comply with the " NO REGISTRATION NO RELEASE" if all they need to do is after they invoice the unit bring the INVOICE and DR to LTO then have it registered. Kaso this is not the case..
    Both Clients and Dealers are suffering. Now they want dealers to provide unified temp plates, how about the ones paid for the plate nos. When dealers regsiter they pay for the palte nos. in this case the LTO should be the ones who would release to dealers clients the TEMPORARY PLATES because it is their fault for not being able to give out the plate number...kaso upto now they still have the TRO on the issuance of plate numbers.

  29. Tang ina naman LTO! Yung dalawang batas na pinagbabatayan nyo eh noong 1964 at 1972 pa inaprubahan at hindi na aakma ngayon! Mas madaling ayusin ang rehistro ng sasakyan noon dahil iba ang dami ng sasakyan noon sa dami ng sasakyan ngayon at di hamak na mas matitino mga nasa land transportation noon kesa ngayon! Magkaroon kayo ng konsiderasyon! Ang sinasabi ninyo na kelangan ipatupad ang batas ay isang malaking kagaguhan sa sitwasyon ng transportasyon ngayon! Ang pagdami ng bagong sasakyan sa kalsada ay sumisimbolo ng pagganda at pagunlad ng ekonomiya at ng pagasenso ng mga Pilipino tapos eto kayo hahadlangan kami na gamitin ang bagong bili naming sasakyan kesyo wala pang OR/CR?? Kapag ipinasa na ng dealer sa kliyente ang sasakyan eh kasama na ang rehistro ng sasakyan sa pinirmahang kontrata o babayaran ng kliyente kahit na zero downpayment pa yan kaya malinaw na tapos na obligasyon namin dyan sa OR/CR na yan. Sa Conduction Sticker pa lang malalaman nyo na sa dealer kung kanino nakapangalan sasakyan kaya madali nyo matrace kung sakaling nakaaksidente yung sasakyan! Litratuhan nyo mga sasakyan na makikita nyo sa kalsada na nakaconduction sticker lang pero hanggang doon lang at bahala na kayo makipagtalo sa Dealer total problema nyo naman yan! Yung sinasabi nyong mabagal magpasa ng dokumento mga dealer edi lakihan nyo multa bawat araw ng delay kundi magkumahog mga yan! Kung ang isang dealer ay magpapasa ng documents sa inyo para sa 10 units ng sasakyan sa isang araw, malamang nasa libo matatanggap nyo sa isang araw mula sa lahat ng dealers at malabong matapos nyo agad yon so nakanino ang delay? Kayo na may pagkukulang tapos ipapasa nyo samin ang problema! Ang simpleng bagay pinapalaki nyo at idadamay nyo pa kaming mga consumer na bumili na nga ng bago kahit na mahirap magmonthly! Bakit di nyo pagtuunan ng pansin yung mga sasakyan na lagpas 15 years na, na di hamak na mas makakaperwisyo sa trapiko kapag nasiraan sa daan at ang usok pa! Biruin mo mga jeep at bus sa kalsada na sobrang usok na nairerehistro pa sa inyo at sa isa pang bugok na LTFRB!?

    Sa mga nagrereklamo naman, di nyo na dapat isisi pa kay Presidente Duterte yang problemang yan sa LTO. Kaya nga sya nagtalaga ng mga mamumuno ng bawat departamento para di na nya problemahin yan. Lahat ba ng bawat problema sa kanya isisi. Di nya alam kung may mga kagaguhang memo o regulasyon na bagong ipinatupad ang LTO o iba pang ahensya kung hindi tayo aalma. Ang dapat natin gawin ay ipaalam sa kanya na may nakapasok o di pa naaalis na bugok sa ahensya! Alam nyo sa mga sarili nyo na matino president natin pero ang ilan sa mga ipinuwesto nya eh bugok pala.

If ndi mabenta ung car then LTO should have a process to retract the registration. Kaming mga consumers at nagpapasahod sa LTO pa mahihirapan.

    1. Dealers cannot issue a permit to travel. Documents like that can only be issued by the LTO.

      Ang pag process ng OR/CR ay depende sa dealer at sa LTO. Kaya daw ng 7 days kaso madalas, delayed siya. Nagtuturuan ang dealers at LTO sa problema.

    1. The memo of no registration, no release is internal to dealers. However, because of the strict fines from the LTO, they don't want to be fined or lose accreditation.

      The 7 day window, as indicated above, simply means a penalty-free window for dealers to register the sold vehicle. It doesn't give authority to the owner to use an unregister vehicle.

      If only the registration process were quicker, then everything would be okay.

    1. Apparently it's to ensure no one will violate the Citizen's Chapter of LTO. Or if you want more and would recklessly use your vehicle with addition you don't have a driver's license, then the fine would be Php 13,000.00. So, good luck in following the new Law.

  43. LTO is THE problem. They still take a ludicrously long time to issue the plates despite the complete documentation. "uphold the law" my posterior. These clowns just want you to pay bribe money to speed up the processing. THese jackasses have the galls to impose a standard when they can't even uphold their own. Who fines the LTO for their blunders?

  47. Ang batas ay dapat pra sa kapakanan ng nakararami, in this case iabolish o dpat irevise ang batas kse maraming naapektohan. Sa ganyang sistema pwede namin kayong kasuhan ng economic sabotage. Sa dami naming naapektuhan. May PNP Clearance, CSR, at Sales Invoice, why not allowing all the dealers to use the PNP Clearance number as a temporary travel documents togethet with the Sales Invoice, in a way that LTO will have an ample time to perform their duty for the processing of the customers registration. This will also give protection to both parties.

  71. Dear LTO,

    First, it is not our fault (consumers) that your incompetent agency cannot process the documents on time. This problem has been ongoing from the last administration, and still you are putting the burden to the public. Why don't you and your agency, look into the problem itself, and you'll find out that the issue is in front of you and inside your office. Eh kung yung mga tatamad tamad ninyong mga staff at enforcers ang pinaasikaso ninyo ng mga dokumento at yung mga car dealers ang kalampagin ninyo para maayos na itong problema? Please don't put the burden to us, dahil hindi po namin kasalanan na wala kayong plaka na maproduce, wala kayong stickers, wala kayong plastic IDs at di ninyo maasikaso ang mga OR/CR dahil under-staff kayo... dahil bayad na po kami, kayo ang may problema, nasa inyo ang bola, wag nyo naman sana kami gawing gatasan. Mag-aabot ako ng sulat sa Pangulo para mabalasa na kayo.

    3. Pwede pero pag nasita ka ng pulis (and that happened to me) dapat mapakita mo ang OR/CR. Kung wala kang OR/CR, at least man PNP Clearance, Certificate of Stock Reported, at Invoice ng sasakyan mo.

  83. Siguro tayo ding mga cunsomers dpat may memo din para sa kanila..

    e.g.

    Pag lumampas ng 90 days at wala pa din ang OR CR, dapat mag penalty sila saten!

    eh ang galing galing nila gumawa ng batas at memo na katulad nyan, eh ang bulok bulok ng sistema nila! keng inang yan. sistema muna nila ang ayusin nila bago sila mag isip ng kng anu ano na namang pagkakakutungan...

    Goodpm po. Ang LTO suspension ng memo ay until June 1 2017 lang po, ibig po bas sabihin after june 1 hindi na pwede magrelease ang mga dealer ng sasakyan na walang OR/CR? gusto na kasi irelease ng dealer ko yung sasakyan kaagad po.

    Replies
    1. Ang LTO ay wala pang na issue ng bagong memorandum. Ang ibig sabihin nito ay dapat ipapatupad uli ang No OR/CR, No Release.

      Kaso, ang huling balita sa LTO ay status quo muna. Mukhang nakalimutan sa loob ng agency sa mga regulations o ruling nila.

    2. So does that mean po ba na suspended pa rin ang no OR/CR no Travel policy?

  91. I know that we can file a complaint with the DTI against dealers if the dealers are the erring party.
    But does anyone know if there's a way for us MV owners to get together and file a case against the LTO for their sheer incompetence and negligence? I mean, most of these memos are just plain ridiculous, and MV Owners should not get penalized by these stupid memos that obviously have not been thought out!! And I can tell from people's comments here how utterly disgusted and dissatisfied they are with the LTO's services, but are we really just going to complain to each other about it and not take any legal step to finally get things straightened out?? I think we should also defend our rights and contest the LTO's memos that conflict with our rights.
    If anyone has ideas about banding up, I would appreciate it if you could write to Car Guide, TopGear, or whatever blog you could write to, and I will gladly join. Thank you in anticipation.
