How to Track Your Vehicle Plate

Checking the status of your vehicle plate is a straightforward process. All you need is your vehicle’s information and an internet connection.

  • Go to the LTO’s Online Portal: Find the section dedicated to plate tracking.
  • Enter Your Vehicle Details: You will have two options:
    • Enter your vehicle’s plate number.
    • Alternatively, you can input the 15-digit Motor Vehicle (MV) file number found on your Certificate of Registration (CR).
  • Track and View Status: Click the “Track” button to see the current status. The results will show if your plate is:
    • In Process
    • Dispatched
    • Available for Pickup
    • Ready for Delivery
  • Choose Your Next Step:
    • If you choose to pick it up, take note of the designated LTO branch and bring a valid ID and your vehicle’s registration papers.
    • If you opt for delivery, you will be guided through the home delivery process.

The Home Delivery Process

If your plate or license is ready for delivery, you can arrange to have it sent to you. This is a convenient option that saves you a trip to the LTO branch.

  • Upload Your Documents: You will be prompted to upload clear, readable photos of your valid ID and the vehicle’s Official Receipt/Certificate of Registration (OR/CR).
  • Provide Your Address: Fill in your complete delivery address. Be sure to include your house number, street, barangay, city or municipality, and any helpful landmarks. A valid contact number is also required.
  • Pay the Delivery Fee: The courier fee can be paid using digital payment methods like GCash or QRPh. The cost varies by location.
  • Track Your Shipment: After payment, you will receive an SMS containing a courier tracking number. You can use this to monitor the delivery, which typically takes between 3 to 10 business days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an LTMS account to use the tracker?
No, an LTMS portal account is not required. You only need your license number or MV file number to begin.

What should I do if the tracker shows a “Not Found” status?
This can sometimes happen if the data has not yet been fully updated in the system. Try checking again after a few days. If the problem persists, providing additional details like your LTMS client number can help resolve the issue.

How much does home delivery cost?
The delivery fee depends on your location. It is generally more affordable for addresses within Metro Manila and may be higher for provincial or remote areas.
