It was a very frustrating experience when I tried to renew my car registration this week. Since I failed to renew on time, a penalty is in store once this process is done.
But before we get into any of that, here are the items that you need for the renewal:
1. CTPL (Compulsory Third Party Liability Insurance)
2. MVIS (Motor Vehicle Inspection Report)
3. Emission Test
4. Renewal at LTO Office
Here in Cebu, the old plate numbers use to start at A but was changed to G. When I got my plate number, the car dealer installed the plate and the LTO sticker.
When i was about to renew my car registration, my old plate (A) was still the one available in the system, and not the G one.
So my questions are:
1. Why did LTO issue the plates and the stickers if the new plates are not yet uploaded in the system?
2. Why didn't the car dealership give me an instruction that I need to visit LTO to have my new plates uploaded?
How could have avoided this? Start renewing your car's registration at the start of the week.
