The Land Transportation Office in Central Visayas (LTO Region 7) will begin stricter implementation of the “No Plate, No Travel” policy by mid-August. The agency is urging vehicle owners, including tricycle operators, to immediately claim their license plates.
LTO-7 Director Glen Galario said the policy applies to all vehicles, including those using temporary or outdated plates. Violators may be fined P5,000.
Plates issued from 2018 onward are ready for release, while those for vehicles registered in 2017 and earlier have only recently arrived or are still in transit. Over 100,000 plates have been delivered, but many remain unclaimed.
Galario reminded the public to check plate availability via ltotracker.ph or by visiting their nearest LTO branch. All remaining plates must be released before October.
