The most common service that a motorist is looking for is the new registration of one's new and shiny car. As listed in our list of services post, you can see there that the first service that we offer, that is, the first service that we can assist you with is the registration of your car… either for new registration or renewal of registration.. both basically has the same requirements but this post is for the requirements for registering a new car.





Imported Motor Vehicle Registration Requirements

Here are the requirements for imported motor vehicles - cars, trucks, motorcycles etc.:-



  • Original Invoice
  • Certificate of Payments of Taxes
  • Confirmation of CP from Registration Section C.O.
  • CHPG clearance
  • Insurance Certificate of Cover
  • Actual Inspection of Motor Vehicle and duly accomplished MVIR
    (stencils of motor and chassis numbers must be done on the space provided for)
  • Early warning device (EWD)

  • That is the requirements needed to register a new car or vehicle that was imported from abroad.

    The first part was about New Registration locally assembled or rebuilt vehicles.
    Like we always say, if you ever need help or assistance with any LTO related services, including this one, you can contact us at our office or call/txt 09178801712

    I have no connection with the above Company, just liked their Summary of Requirements for LTO Registration of New Cars. Actually I was looking for information on this 3 Year Registration, since my Yamaha XT225 motorcycle, should have got Registered by Norkis, who sold me the Motorcycle, and the LTO who should have known such 3 Year Registration was applicable to Motorcycles over 200cc, and the XT225 is 225cc!

    I bought a new Hyundai 'Matrix' 1.5 CRDi VGT in May 2005, and obtained the Registration Documents, and Number Plates with Registration and Insurance, valid for 3 Years.

    ie no vehicle inspection, emission tests, or insurance renewal until May 2008.

    HIGHIGHIGHTS OF ACCOMPLISHMENT
    With the implementation of the three (3) year initial registration of motor vehicles' scheme, on the other hand, drastically affected our volume of registered motor vehicle and cases handled because most initial motor vehicle registrations are handled by district offices situated in highly urbanized areas in the country.



    I bought a Yamaha XT225, brand new from Norkis, Mandaue Branch in December 2007 for Php160,000.00
    So why did the LTO not Register it for 3 Years. since the XT225 is 225cc?

    The LTO Branch in Talisay City (up behind Robinsons, to the right), did not even seem aware, that Motorcycles over 200cc are covered by that 3 Year Registration Ruling.

    LTO, Talisay City were also trying to maintain the Registration stated Color: Green yet there was White also!

    Norkis, Mandaue sorted this out. but only wanted to deal with LTO, Mandaue, not LTO Talisay City Branch.

    How do I know it got sorted?

    The Honda XR200 is196.9cc and now has Suggested Retail Price of Php131,900.00


    One reason I did not buy the Honda XR200 is because it is somewhat taller (with a seat of 858mm) compared with the Yamaha XT225 having a seat height of just 31.9" (810mm), meaning I could plant both feet flat on the floor comfortably.

    Another reason for choosing a Yamaha XT225 'Serow', being that Norkis were offering a 3 Year Warranty

    Posted Image How many spotted they got the image of the XT225 reversed?

    The best reason for going with a Yamaha XT225 'Serow', is that is is simply a damn fine bike, for 'green lane' riding in the Philippines.

    BIG BLOKE ON A GIRLS BIKEThe Yamaha XT225 SerowBy John Hutchinsonjohnhutch@compuserve.com



    Quote
    I don't know how to put this without offending some peoples egos, but here goes - the Yamaha XT225 Serow is arguably the best trail bike in the world. A lot of people who have bought big, fast, powerful enduro machinery to go trail riding have probably chosen the wrong bikes.
