A brand new motorcycle needs to be registered in the Land Transportation Office (LTO) of the Philippines to be officially allowed to run on public roads. The motorcycle owner needs to obtain the necessary things and documents from LTO as a proof of registration such as the Certificate of Registration, Official Receipt and Plate.
If you have recently purchased a motorcycle or still planning to get one, the motorcycle dealer can process the registration of your motorcycle. You’ll just have to pay them the requested amount and wait for a call when the documents are ready but don’t expect this to be efficient. The motorcycle dealer will give you a temporary document so that you may still use your motorcycle on the streets.
However, in most cases, it is much faster to process the registration of your new motorcycle yourself. With the proper approach and diplomacy to the LTO and motorcycle dealer, you’ll surely be able to do it. This guide will walk you through the general procedure including the required documents needed.
