The Land Transportation Office—National Capital Region (LTO-NCR) is further improving its Online Plate Inquiry Project, making it even easier for motorists to check the availability of license plates—whether for brand-new vehicles or replacement plates (transitioning from green to white).
Available through the official LTO-NCR website (www.ltoncr.com), the system allows users to search by Plate Number or Motor Vehicle (MV) File Number. This is particularly useful for motorcycle owners with backlogged plates who may not yet have an assigned plate number listed in their Certificate of Registration (CR).

The Regional Digital Media Public Assistance Office (R-DMPAO), under the leadership of Assistant Regional Director Atty. Dennis P. Barrion spearheaded the latest enhancements in response to public demand.
“The R-DMPAO receives requests regularly, and this is our response to the public. We are doing our best to simplify and make it easier for everyone to check their plates online,” said Atty. Barrion.
Since the project’s launch in February 2024, LTO-NCR has facilitated over 2,000 requests for the delivery of replacement plates to various District and Extension Offices. Some motorists opted to claim their plates at the original office of issuance.
Motorists have welcomed the service enthusiastically, with many sharing positive feedback:
“Got my white plate so fast, thanks to LTO for the fast service from Las Piñas LTO to Pasig LTO 💙💙💙” – Mr. Kris
“Sobrang bilis! Nalipat agad, and I already got my plate. Thank you.” – Mr. Elliot
“Big kudos sa LTO NCR sa mabilis na proseso ng plate number replacement at sa mabilis nilang pagtugon at pagbibigay ng update. Maraming salamat po.” – Mr. Barry
“Thank you LTO—National Capital Region for sending my replacement plate with NO HASSLE! Good job. Very commendable. Mabuhay ang proyektong ito!” – Mr. Ross
“Legit po ‘tong website na ‘to. Mabilis ko nakuha replacement plate ko. Nag-request pa ako to transfer to Marikina District Office from LTO Diliman. After a week, nakuha ko na.” – Mr. Arthur
LTO-NCR Regional Director Roque “Rox” I. Verzosa III expressed gratitude for the public’s support and reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to continuous service improvements.
