LTO-Zambo to issue standard vehicle plates starting in August

ZAMBOANGA CITY, Aug. 7 (PNA) -– The Land Transportation Office (LTO) is set to start the distribution next month of the standard vehicle plates to transport owners in this city.

LTO Regional Director Aminola Abaton said Thursday that they expect the arrival of 5,000 to 10,000 standard vehicle plates from LTO-central office in the second week of August.

Abaton said that first to be issued with the new standard plates are the owners of new vehicles that will be registered with his office.

Abaton said those who will renew their vehicle registration will be issued later with the new plates.

The new standard vehicle plates are for four-wheel vehicles and motorcycles, according to Abaton.

He said the new plate was patterned after the standards adopted by the European transport authority.

It has barcode, security features, and tamper-proof, which means it could not be removed once installed.

Abaton said the new plate number will also indicate the place where the vehicle was registered. (PNA)
