MANILA, Philippines — Applications for new registration of sold motorcycles and motor vehicles received on or before April 30 have been processes and released to the dealers.

LTO-7 Regional Director Victor Emmanuel Caindec explained that if the dealer submitted the complete documents and processed the payments of the customer’s purchased motorcycle or motor vehicle before April 30, 2021, “then your Original Certificate of Registration (CR) and Official Receipt (OR) has been released and already in the dealer’s possession.”

As of May 10, New Registration Unit (NRU) has released a total of 14,409 motorcycles and motor vehicle OR/CR for April; 15,290 for March; 12,773 for February; and 11,369 for January.

Caindec also reminded the public to never accept non-original documents from their dealers.

Meanwhile, Caindec also announced that the regional office has been receiving plate numbers for Central Visayas from its Central Office that were registered since January 2018. AAC
