How to renew your car/motorcycle registration in the Philippines

Hi!

Just sharing some tips on processing your renewal.

First, you need a photocopy of your OR & CR, then you proceed to do emission testing. Make sure you have a valid vehicle plate number,in case if yours is still temporary, I recommend you check first with LTO if plate number is already available, if it’s still not, you have to secure a temporary one, in most cases its your MV file number. You can have it customized by most printing shops near you, or you can print it yourself and have it laminated. Just make sure you follow the correct dimensions, and the proper font size.

Most emission testing centers, will charge you 450 php for cars while 400 for motorcycle. After the test, you then bring the result with you and proceed to the next step.

The second step is, you have to go to an insurance company of your choice, submit to them the emission test result for processing. There are many insurance companies located near the LTO to choose from. Its important to know,and ask around which company provides the best service or most reliable in providing this kind of service.

The LTO only require the Compulsory Third Person Liabality(CTPL) which cost around 850 pesos from the vehicle owner, but there are different kinds of insurance to choose from, ex. Comprehensive insurance, this allows you to insure your own car in case of accidents,”God forbid”, whereas the CTPL only covers the third person involved and not your own. Comprehensive insurance cost approximately 20,000php more or less, it will depend on the unit market value.

The third step is to have your vehicle inspected by LTO officer. You will give to them the documents the insurance company gave you. Here,you have to make sure that your vehicle is up and running, with all the lights,horns,etc. working or else you might have to pay for a penalty. After the inspection, you will then have to proceed to the LTO cashier for the payment. Waiting for your name to be called will take time, so make sure you dont have other errands you have to go to. It took me approximately 20-30 minutes for my name to be called. Payment for vehicle varies by the way, mine was around 2,400 php. After payment, they gave me a receipt(OR) and thats it! You go back to your insurance company to take your insurance policy, have it photocopied, for your car, and the original to keep at home. You are good to go! No more worries! Drive safe!

This whole renewal process took me for only 2hours30minutes. It may vary from time to time depending on the number of people processing at the same time with you.

Tip: Do it on an afternoon! People tend to go to government offices during morning. Thank me later! 😉

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
