Frequently Asked Questions

What if I miss my renewal month?

You can renew with penalty in the following months. Penalties scale with how late: ₱200 first month, more after. Don't let it lapse over 1 year — full re-registration is required at that point.

Can I renew early?

Yes, you can renew up to 2 months before your due month. Useful if you'll be traveling during your renewal month.

How is my renewal date determined?

Last digit of plate = month. Penultimate digit = week within month. Example: ABC 1234 → renewal in April (digit 4), in second week of April (digit 3 = second week).
