CEBU CITY, Oct. 27 (PIA) -- The Land Transportation Office Region 7 (LTO-7) resumed on Oct. 22, 2020 the distribution of motor vehicle (MV) plates for brand new four-wheel vehicles as the economy slowly shifts to the new normal.
The plate distribution by LTO-7 resumed at SM Seaside City Cebu where 19,302 plates were set to be released.
LTO-7 reminded the public to book for a schedule first before claiming their MV plates so that LTO-7 personnel can prepare the plate that will be released to them.
Claimants will have to send a text with the information of their plate number and MV file number, date of first registration, and the name of the owner to 0947-349-9965, according to LTO-7 in a press release.

LTO-7 also reminded the motorists who will be claiming their MV plates to prepare a photocopy of the Official Receipt (OR) and the Certificate of Registration and photocopy of any valid government-issued ID.
If a representative will claim the plate, a notarized authorization letter with a photocopy of the valid government-issued IDs of both the owner and the authorized person have to be presented upon claiming.
Likewise, if the vehicle is owned by a company, a notarized Special Power of Attorney, Secretary Certificate with one photocopy of the valid government-issued ID of the Secretary, and the authorized person will also be needed.
