The Land Transportation Office (LTO) recently announced that it would soon extend the initial registration validity of all brand-new motorcycles to three years. Well, we’re finally halfway through May, and the agency has now begun implementing this new policy.
The LTO has announced that it has already started processing the three-year registration of motorcycles with engine displacements of 200cc or below following Memorandum Circular No. JMT-2023-2395. These bikes are now registered in the Land Transportation Management System.

“Using the LTMS for the registration of these brand-new motorcycles demonstrates how both the agency and the public benefit from the digitalization of LTO’s frontline services,” said LTO chief Jayart Tugade. “We must maintain this momentum and expand it to make services for the public easier, simpler, and more convenient.”
Previously, only 201cc motorcycles and bigger were eligible to get the initial three-year LTO registration, whereas the registration documents of smaller bikes were only valid for one year.
