The Land Transportation Office (LTO) announced that it will start penalizing motor vehicles that use unauthorized plates starting September 1, 2026.
This is after the recent widespread online sale of improvised license plates, where LTO-issued plate replicas are sold.
LTO Chairperson Markus Lacanilao said that motor vehicles that use an improvised plate without authorization will be impounded.
Meanwhile, those who have authorization but purchase LTO-issued replicas sold online will have the said replica plates confiscated.
He said that motorists who lost their license plates must apply for an affidavit of loss so they can get an authorization to use an improvised plate. The temporary plates must have the words “improvised plate” or “lost plate” written on them, instead of copying the legitimate plate issued by the LTO.
Lacanilao added that they will go after the sellers of said unauthorized plates and have already coordinated with the Philippine National Police, the National Bureau of Investigation, and other cyber groups to apprehend the sellers.
