If the Philippines buys a second-hand car without a license plate, the owner tells you that it does not have a license plate. How do you verify it?

The lack of vehicle license plates has been a problem for motorists over the past few years. When they registered their vehicles, they did not get a new license with a new design. Instead, car owners have to wait years to get a license plate. This has long been a problem, but the Land Transport Office (LTO) is finally ready to issue the delayed license plates they owe the Filipinos. To speed up the process, LTO works with the Department of Transportation (DoT) so that the government can open its own factory in the Philippines to make license plates.

For those who want to know if their license plate is already available, you can now check the status on the LTO's online license plate checker.
