WaldaFree tool · LTO registration
When is my LTO registration due?
Type your plate number. LTO’s schedule reads it from the last two numbers, so the answer is already on your car.
- LastThe last number sets the month: 1 is January, 9 is September, 0 is October.
- Before itThe number before it sets the week of that month.
How the schedule works
Two numbers, one week a year.
The last number: your month
There are only ten digits, so November and December are never anyone’s month.
The number before it: your week
Guides give the days below; some count them in working days, so check your OR.
1st to 7th
8th to 14th
15th to 21st
22nd to month end
Ends in 4: April. The number before it is 3: the first week. So NBC 1234 renews in the first week of April, every year after its first three.
Questions
Before you line up.
My plate ends in letters. Which number counts?
The last number on the plate, wherever it sits. On a motorcycle plate like 123 ABC, the 3 sets the month and the 2 sets the week. The checker above skips the letters for you.
My car is brand new. When do I first renew?
The first registration, usually done by the dealer, lasts three years. Check the validity printed on your OR. After that you renew every year, in your plate’s month and week.
Do weekends and holidays count?
Some guides count the week in working days, so a long weekend or a holiday can shift or shorten it. The dates here are a guide: your OR, and any LTO announcement for your plate ending, come first.
Can I renew early?
Guides say you can renew about a month before your week. It avoids the queue on the last days and any late fee.
What if I miss my week?
Motoring guides list a ₱200 late fee for missing your week, and a penalty of 50% of the MVUC once your month has passed. Driving an unregistered vehicle can cost ₱10,000. Check LTO for the current amounts.
What do I usually bring?
Guides list your latest OR and CR, a valid ID, CTPL insurance, and a passed emission test, done before you go. Requirements can change, so check with your LTO office or the LTMS portal first.
Has LTO ever moved the schedule?
Yes. LTO has extended the windows for some plate endings before, by memorandum. When that happens, the announcement wins over the usual schedule.
Never miss your week
Waldazz remembers it for you.
Waldazz is a payday planner for Filipino money, and it keeps your car’s papers too. Under My vehicles:
- Your OR and CR, behind Face ID, folded away until you tap Show photos.
- The renewal dates read from the OR, or suggested from your plate like this page does.
- Reminders two months and one month before the registration and the insurance, with what to bring.
- 1 FebTwo months before: renew the CTPL insurance, book the emission test.
- 1 MarOne month before: what to bring, so the morning at LTO is short.
- 1–7 AprYour week. Then the same week next year.
