You can find the white LTO replacement plate that you have already paid for at the Land Transportation Office (LTO) as early as 2015 to replace your green LTO license plate on the newly launched website, ltoplatereplacement.com, if you are one of the 1.797M who have yet to receive it.

In response to the problem of undelivered plates, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) launched ltoplatereplacement.com. Using this website, the agency allows car owners to check whether their LTO replacement plates are ready for claiming without having to go to an LTO branch. The site also provides information about where to claim paid and unclaimed LTO replacement license plates.

What is the LTO Plate Replacement Availability Checker?

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) recently launched a new website for LTO Plate replacement inquiries. As a result of a recent report by the Commission on Audit (COA) stating that the LTO has not addressed a backlog of 1.797M license plate deliveries, this interactive website was launched. As a result of the unclaimed or undelivered replacement plates, there has been an increase in impatient vehicle owners with frayed nerves awaiting their replacement plates.

Because the new plates are still unaccounted for, held, and unclaimed at the LTO office where they were applied for, a lot of vehicles on the streets are running around with temporary plates despite already having actual replacement license plates.

It is designed to address the LTO License Plate Backlog issues through its interactive website, //nationalidtracking.com . It features a simple interface, requiring vehicle owners to simply key in their plate numbers in a search box, and allowing them to see vital information regarding the availability of paid and unclaimed LTO replacement license plates, their availability, and the LTO branch where they can claim them.

On the website’s homepage, however, it states, “This interactive website provides information on the availability of paid and unclaimed LTO replacement license plates (green to white) from 2015”. It is evident that the site is only designed to answer inquiries about LTO license plate replacements (from green to white) that were paid and unclaimed from 2015 onwards, and not to handle inquiries about new plate issuances.

Benefits

The online LTO plate replacement checker is more than a way to deal with the ever-increasing backlog in LTO license plate issuance. This is also a step towards the agency’s innovation efforts in technology and connectivity. Launching the website will offer users the following benefits:
