LTO Postpones Uniform Temporary Plates; Reiterates No OR/CR, No Travel


The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has issued a new memorandum dated February 23, 2017. This new memorandum, which was made available to us, deals with the standardized temporary plates as well as the No OR/CR, No Travel policy.

Addressed to all LTO accredited dealers, this new memorandum signed by LTO Assistant Secretary Edgar C. Galvante delays the use of the standardized temporary plates from February 15, 2017 to June 1, 2017.

This means that all vehicles released from June 1, 2017 onward will be required to sport the standardized temporary plate with a prescribed format that includes information such as the Conduction Sticker number and Motor Vehicle (MV) File number prior to their release or delivery to the owner.

While this gives reprieve to all accredited vehicle dealers nationwide to secure a supplier for the standardized temporary plate, the same memorandum also reiterates the implementation of the No OR/CR, No Travel policy which is in effect.

In fact, it categorically states: “no motor vehicle shall be used or operated on or upon any highway without being registered.”

Therefore, dealers may require their customers to either take delivery of their vehicle only when the OR/CR has been made available or sign a waiver releasing the dealer of any claims/damages in case the driver or owner wants to bring his vehicle home when the OR/CR is not yet available.

It’s also worth noting that though vehicles released before June 1, 2017 need not sport the standardized temporary plate, it would be a good practice to indicate the MV File Number in your temporary plate in a clear, legible manner to avoid any potential hassle.

See the full memo below:

To: All LTO Accredited Dealers
Subject: Deferment of Memorandum Date 11 January 2017 On the Use of Conduction Sticker as Temporary License Plate Number
Date: 23 February 2017

Upon your request to defer implementation of the Memorandum requiring the use of conduction sticker as temporary license plate number, you are hereby notified that your request is granted. The implementation of the subject Memorandum shall be moved to 01 June 2017.

It is reiterated, however, that no motor vehicle shall be used or operated on or upon any highway without being registered (Sec 5 R.A. 4136, as amended).

(Signed)
Edgar C. Galvante
Assistant Secretary

  1. As per the memo it said "without being registered" does it mean u can bring ur car on the road because technically speaking it is being registered. Is that right?

    5. Sir Ulysses, I just bought a car last week and OR/CR still pending. Ano ba ang definition ng LTO sa "highway"? If I'm assuming it correctly, sa highways ko lang hndi pwede gamitin ang car with no OR/CR, so pwede ba sa mga small roads? Thanks.

    1. Depende. Ang sabi ng LTO kaya daw ng 3 to 7 days lamang, sabi ng mga dealers dahil sa backlog umabot ng ilang buwan.

    2. My agent promised me 2 to 3 weeks to get the or cr / however she was able to managed it for just 7 business days. You can follow up always to your agent for the updates.

  5. Hi Sir Uly, our car was released late December 2016, yet our ORCR is still not available according to the dealer. We were promised that the ORCR will come out after one month, but it is already more than 2 months. What can we do? We have been following up for weeks. Thanks.

    2. Pareho tayo.

      My unit was released late December 2016 and until now wala pa din yung OR/CR ko. Saang dealership mo nakuha unit mo? Ako sa Toyota Alabang.

  6. This rule is really to avoid batch processing of dealers of papers, I can attest to this since my papers were submitted last Feb28 and date of my OrCr is March 3 so LTO cam really process registration within 3-7 days. Got my unit 3-6-17. I was insistent with my dealer that I won't receive unit until registered. Instead of signing a waiver I passed the pressure to them to submit my papers without delay.

  7. My dealer Submitted my documents Jan 6 2017 and OR/CR released Jan 16 2017.

  8. ako nga 2months mahigit na nakalabas ung car ko bago dating ang or/cr mabagal mag process ang LTO, pero dapat nag issue sila ng special permit to travel para naman magmit ng buyer yung car ma binili nila gaya ng sa akin naka tengga lang sa garahe

  12. Kung isang piraso lng po ang irerehistro kaya nmn po matapos within a day basta maaga ang punta sa respective region. Pero sa dami po ng car/mv dealer sa isang region at pg lahat un ngppunta sa region maiipon at maiipon po tlg yan.. Centralize na po kasi ang rehistro. Kung nareg man ng mabilis yun sa inyo ibig sabihin prinayority tlg ng dealer nyo yan na iparush pero hndi nmn lahat kaya ipriority hehehe

  13. There are factors that causes the delay of the OR CR. One would be the submission of the TPL. Some customers have their own insurance. Their insurance company sometimes doesn't submit the original COC on time. They just send it for the meantime thru email so that dealers can release the vehicles. Second would be typo errors made upon verifying the authentication no. Also I would like to comment i just read regarding the availability of the OR CR of which one person received his OR CR within 2 weeks at mitsubishi. Yes its true its faster getting it. But first, try to analize it. Which would finish faster to process the OR CR (LTO plus PNP CLEARANCE). A toyota dealer who sells in a MONTH 450 units compared to 150 units a MONTH by other brands. Obviously, the lesser volume would be faster.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Most of the dealers offers free LTO, CTPL and etc. So this factor is very less likely to cause the delay in the registration.

      The dealers should not use their big sales volume as an excuse for the delay in registering the cars they sell. Why not do the registration on a daily basis? Why wait for a month?

  14. Question lang po. Regarding po sa no OR/CR no travel. Papano ung bagong bili lang. Meaning hindi talaga nya mailalabas ng Dealer ung car na walang OR/CR.

    1. just sign a the waiver na you would bear all the consequences / penalties if you get caught by traffic police or by the LTO then pede mo na iuwi yung car mo at itago sa loob ng garage mo until maibigay sa iyo yung OR/CR mo.

      Delete
  15. Stay away from Toyota Alabang. They are the worst dealer when it comes to OR/CR release. Many of its customers are complaining day by day due to the delay in releasing the OR/CR of their customers.

  18. pa gsure lang po,, motor vehicle, ibig sbihin two wheels and for wheelers and etc. ang kasama dito. so pwede lang muna ipakita kahit OR/CR lang muna. at kung maghahanap ng temporary plate pwde ipakita itong memorandum. tama ba kasi effective na sya by june 1 pa diba

  19. Can i demand the dealer to keep the car with them until it is registered? Would that be better than stocking it in my garage (exposed to sun, dust and cats) ?

  23. too keep it plain and simple, you can only use the car inside a subdivision, garage, or private roads(e.g. you own that road w/c is quite impossible). Public roads, highways(EDSA, NLEX, SLEX, C5 etc.) are not allowed.

  34. Tanong lang po. So hindi pwede gamitin ang vehicle kahit may Certificate of Stock Reported na galing sa LTO? I was told by my dealer na ipakita ang Certificate pag nasita, tama ba?

  37. Question po... I asked my dealer to provide at least a receiving copy of receipt from lto as proof of registration. Bale ang sagot nila sakin, wala daw sila makukuha na ganun from lto and via liason kasi yung application.

    How true is this? So anong proof or paano mo ike-claim yung certificate in the future?

    Thanks!

  38. Kaya ka nga bumili ng Kotse para magamit agad dahil sa layo ng trabaho at daming sakay kapag commute at time consuming dahil sa traffic maaga ka aalis ng bahay darating ka ng late na halos pagod na pagod ka na at mapupuyat ka sa konting oras na lang ng tulog mo. Sobrang hassle yang ginawa nila na implementation na yan ng LTO. Ask ko lang sino ba ang manghuhuli kapag ginamit mo yung Car ng wala pang OR/CR? Paano nila malalaman? though may temporary plate no (Conduction No.) and nakalagay na registered?

  42. Hello po. Ask ko lang po. Sabi kasi nang tatay ko, pwede ko na daw gamitin ang MC kahit for registration plng daw. Kaso accdg to research e hindi pa pwede. Pwede ba gamitin ang MC sa Ayala kahit Invoice at Certification to travrl from the dealer lang ang hawak? Kasi as basis public roads and highways so meaning SLEX,NLEX, C5 and EDSA lang ang hindi pwedeng daanan nang mga wala pang ORCR?

    3. Pwede kang i-technical ng pulis kasi labag sa batas ang pag gamit ng sasakyan na hindi rehistrado.

      Pang kotse kasi, maaring gamitin lang ang sasakyan mo para dalhin galing sa casa papuntang bahay. After that, kailangan mong hintayin ang papeles niya tulad ng OR/CR. Ang ibang pulis / MMDA, pumapayag sa Certificate of Stocklot, PNP Clearance, at kopya ng invoice. Pero pwede ka pa rin hingan ng ibang papeles.

      I would suggest sana to follow up yung papeles mo sa dealer at makuha ang OR/CR ng motor mo.

      Delete
    4. Ano pa pong pwede kong makuhang papeles sa dealer bukod sa invoice at certificate na na sold sakin ang motor habang wala pa pong orcr? Thank you po. Much appreciated po

    6. Pwede ko po ba i-expedite ang processing ng registration kahit nakapirma ako nang waiver na aabutin ng 120days ang orcr? Pwede ko bang iforward sa DTI ang concern kung hindi ako makahintay ng 120days?

      Delete
    7. I don't understand why the dealer will take 120 days for the OR/CR to get processed. I'm not sure you can bring this as a case to the DTI. You can try given dapat 7-14 days lang ang release ng OR/CR.

      Delete
    8. Ung huling tinanong ko yan na 7 - 14 days lang. Sabi ng dealer. Nakapirma na daw ako ng waiver na it would.take 120days :(

  56. Pag walang sasakyan ang hirap mag commute, pag nakabili ka naman peligro dadanasin mo sa procesing ng Dealer at LTO. Dapat sana mabigyang pansin ng gobyerno yung klase ng serbisyo na ibinibigay ng LTO sa mga consumer at yung mga bugok na dealer na di maka comply sa requirements. 120 days processing, grabe naman yun.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Sana may makagawa ng Website or phone app na nag me measure ng performance ng mga dealers para ma rate yung bilis ng release ng mga OR CR ng mga bumili sa kanila. Pwede maging factor yun ng decision ng buyer at ma inform naman na iwasan yung mga di performing.
