If your car or motorcycle is one of the 24.7 million unregistered vehicles in the country, it’s time for you to rectify that situation—and the Land Transportation Office (LTO) is making it easier for you to do so.
LTO chief Atty. Vigor Mendoza II has given the order to set up ‘fast lanes’ to expedite the registration of delinquent motor vehicles, which make up 65% of vehicles on our roads. This measure is part of what he calls ‘Oplan Balik Rehistro, Be Road Ready.’
“All owners who will be availing voluntary registration under this Oplan shall be given priority, and all District/Extension Offices shall designate a fast lane for this purpose,” reads the LTO memorandum.

In addition, the agency is rolling out ‘one-stop shop’ service caravans at various locations to reach more vehicle owners with delinquent registrations.
“We are implementing programs to reach out to our clients so that they will be encouraged to register their motor vehicles,” Mendoza said. “Ayaw din namin sa LTO na dumating pa sa punto ng panghuhuli dahil sa laki ng penalties na babayaran.”
The LTO has brought back the strict implementation of its ‘no registration, no travel’ policy. If you’re caught driving an unregistered vehicle, you’ll be given a P10,000 fine, and your vehicle will be impounded if your vehicle has been unregistered for more than one month. You can read this article about the penalty for not registering your car for three years.
