anyone has changed their plate no?

[niker]

Hi,

Has anyone here able to change his plate number even if the car already exist for 3 years? I'd like to change the ending? How do I go about it? Can I lagay at LTO to make them do it?

AFAIK, plate numbers are permanent once assigned to a particular vehicle.

Unless anyone can give anecdotal evidence to the contrary.

AFAIK, the only time you can change your plates is when you bought the car 2nd hand. pero once you purchased it, and have no complaints... then permanent na.

Really? So if I'd change it to the name of my brother or wife or sister, then I can change the plate number? Has anyone tried this?

If it's possible. Supposed my plate number starts with XP.... and present plate nos. start with ZX... so I'd have the latest ZX.. plate no.?

yung friend ko po bumili ng e class 2nd hand before then ang reason to change plate... baka mapaghinalaan kasi, high ranking official yung previous owner. pinayagan sila eh... not so sure about the procedure kasi erpats niya naglakad ng papers.

then may provision na hindi pwede gamitin yung car hangang dumating new plates.

bro as far as i know hindi pwede palitan eh, kasi sabi sakin ng father ko may iniindicate ung mga start ng plates. specially ung letters, bawat region saw sa pinas may corresponding na umpisa na letter combination sa plate no. plus kung what year inilabas like for example gusto mo ung XP na maging ZX, edi ang mangyayari magiiba ung place of origin, pati ung kung kelan lumabas un vehicle. yun ang sabi sakin ah... and baka pag may makatiyempo sau na may alam sa mga ganyan, lalo na ung naghahanap ng mga sasakyan na kahina hinala, baka madamay ka, baka isipin, "oh bakit hindi naman latest ung sasakyan pero latest ang plaka" baka isipin eh getaway vehicle ang sasakyan mo...

IMO, hindi na pwede palitan ang plaka, pwede lang palitan yung owners name sa COR.

Actually, you may NOT change your plates as they are permanent as provided by law.

The only time you may change plates is when a vehicle is when:

* changing it's registration status
e.g. from Private to For Hire, Gov't to Private, Diplomatic/Tax-Exempt to Private, etc.

* a very compelling reason to like your car is a carnapped-recovered,

* the vehicle was previously owned by a high profile person where you feel that you may be mistaken for that person and may threat your life, or something to that extent.

I hope this clears this out. Also, this has been discussed a lot already. Please use the Search function.

Our car's plate number was changed from a P** *** to a T** *** in 1993....
The reason is that it was stolen, flagged as a hot car, and was recovered. So, I cannot use the old plate number....

6110:pepsi:

i agree, once it was stolen the original owner can request for a new plate....one example is my neighbor's 96 L200 with plate no. ZMG*** hahaha! mas lumalabas pang mas bago sa '01 xwind ko with plate no XC*-**0.
