The Land Transportation Office (LTO) in the National Capital Region on Thursday cited substantial progress in its Replacement Plate Distribution Project, releasing over 50,000 plates for 2025, up by 17,000 or 194 percent higher compared to previous year’s record.
LTO chief Markus Lacanilao said with the implementation of improved processes, online verification tools and new client-centered innovations since January 2024, the LTO-NCR has significantly improved the way motorists can claim their replacement license plates.
“Throughout 2024, LTO–NCR focused on organizing plate inventories, validating legacy plate records, and coordinating with district and extension offices to identify pending claimants. Despite challenges such as manual verification and varying claim volumes at field offices, the agency successfully released over 17,000 replacement plates during the year,” he added.
