Registering a vehicle - scooter

`

Of course you're right, Don.  You need an official receipt and the certificate of registration, which the Land Transportation Office (LTO) abbreviates as the OR/CR.

Quote, "All vehicles should have a Certificate of Registration and Official Receipt to be used legally on public roads.. Fortunately, the LTO has stopped apprehending new vehicles travelling without license plates due to a shortage in supply, but you should still present a car’s OR and CR when asked, as well as install a temporary plate number in the Philippines."

(Shh! It mightn't be the chair if you rode, claiming urgent business and LTO delays?)

Here's some of your fellow bikies:

That's interesting Don as 4 odd years ago we purchased a new Mio. Temp plate and all the paperwork  and simply used it for over 3 years and never received official plates, Ben purchased a Suzi Raider a year ago got the temp plate and paperwork and road it around without a problem even when stopped at the proverbial road block. 3 months later he picked up the official plates. If buying a new bike the seller should issue a temp plate.

What you have to remember Don is that there are around 9 million bikes running around here that are unregistered and hence the road blocks.

I remember being stopped at a road block a couple of years ago, Ben was passenger, he makes me drive from time to time to keep my hand in. Anyway when my turn came in the line up I rolled down the window, he saw I was a foreigner and waved me through, perhaps too hard?

What are you going to do with your scooter when you return to Canada as in safe/secure storage?

As for hiccups? Plenty to come no different to any country. Glad to hear you are getting your hands dirty and enjoying.

Cheers, Steve.

Just to clarify, I have the official receipt although it looks empty to me... I also have the registration which was originally done in Manilla.  It was a one year registration so I was going to get it re registered.  Apperently the system is different here in Visayas so they cannot re register it.  Back to the office tomorrow to see what they decided and nicely plead for their assistance.  The bill of sale has many fields open and my Filipino friend who helped me buy it said it was good and this is called an open bill of sale.  Nothing like that in my home country.

I will likely sale it when i return in May and then buy the bike I want when I come back in September.  The other option is to leave it with friends in Cebu and have it here for me when i return.  Either works for me.

Scary video. 

I do have all the requirements but thanks for sharing the fine amounts.  Well my international DL is expired but my Canadian DL is valid and the international is just a translation in many languages.

Like Steve, I have been waved through 2 stops this trip.  I did get stopped in Davao years ago and the police looked at my Canadian and International DL for over 5 min before he let me go.

Last week there was a rumour here  circulating on (un)Social media that a Task force from the DOT, was in Boholl conducting mass checks in the Province. Suddenly. 60% of Motorcycles disappeared from our roads.

The place was almost like a Ghost  Town.

Most people here can't afford.

1. The Registration fee.

2. The cost of bringing their Motorcycle up to the mechanical standard to register the machine.

3. The Gasoline for the 150km round trip  trip to the LTO office.

This means that over 60% of motorcycles driving on our roads, and sidewalks, don't have Insurance.

Tough if you collide with one of them.

Good news to report, once again Filipino have helped me and I am ever thankful.

On fine man in the LTO office coordinated with Manila to get my registration transfered and I was able to get everything done in a day.  Lesson learned, if you buy a used vehicle, make sure the registration is in the same province where you are living or they will be major delays and difficulties.  Shout our to Winston and all the friendly people who helped me register and insure the bike.

Ride safe everyone.

@AlbertaDonuts

Glad to hear you got it resolved Don.

@AlbertaDonuts

May I ask, what was the fee to register and insurance for your scooter?

I am looking at different scooters.

Rick

It was

850P Insurance

400P emissions test

50P for assistant at emmission test

About 300 at LTO, i forget the wxact amount.

If you get a helper i understand it is aboit 2000 to 2500 P and they do all the waiting for you... that was not an option for me with tight timeline.

It was frustrating waiting a few weeks for manila but i am very appreciative of the gentleman at LYO who took the time and interest to help me.

Well done Don. Time for a wheelie.

Cheers, Steve.

@bigpearl
