Good news for motorcycle owners in NCR! The Land Transportation Office – National Capital Region (LTO-NCR) has released another batch of backlog motorcycle plates to dealers — covering thousands of motorcycles whose plate numbers have long been pending.
This move aims to fast-track the distribution of motorcycle plates and ensure that more Filipinos can finally have their official plate numbers.
Summary of Released Motorcycle Plates
As of April 30, 2025, the following quantities of motorcycle plates have been released:
- LTO-NCR NRU (MV File Numbers: 1301, 1303, and 1801): 5,000+ plates
- LTO Quezon City District Office (1380): 19,000+ plates
Motorcycle owners are advised to coordinate with their dealers to claim their license plates once availability has been confirmed through the online system.
Who Is Covered by This Release?
This release is intended for motorcycles that meet the following criteria:

- The MV File Number of the motorcycle falls under the coes 1301, 1303, 1801, 1336, 1366, and 1380.
Motorcycles outside of these classifications are not included in this release and will be covered in future updates.
