Important Reminders

Do note that before you can secure the Conductor’s license (CL), you will need to get at least 80% of the questions correctly and pass the exam. Only when you do will you be able to secure a Conductor’s license (CL) and work legally as a conductor in the Philippines.

If in case you fail, then please take note of the following guidelines that applies to both the conductor’s and the driver’s license applications:

  • If a driver’s or a conductor’s license applicant is unable to meet the passing rate, retaking the test is allowed one month after the first attempt.
  • If unable to meet the passing rate on the second attempt, a driver’s or a conductor’s license applicant can retake the exam and apply for a driver’s or a conductor’s license within a year.
  • If unable to meet the passing rate on the third attempt, a driver’s or a conductor’s license applicant has to wait for two years before they can be allowed to retake the test and re-apply for a license.

Summary

Taking the Conductor’s License (CL) Exam is a mandatory requirement of the LTO, not just because it teaches the best practices on the road, but also because it ensures that every license applicant understands the rules of the road. Passing the test after completing the course means the person is knowledgeable enough to be allowed on the open roads, too. In any case, it doesn’t take much practice to make sure you secure your conductor’s license on your first attempt. 

By checking how well you did in the Filipino (Tagalog) Conductor’s License (CL) Exam Reviewer, we hope you can prepare well enough to ace your Conductor’s license exam on the first take. 

Republic Act 4136: Land Transportation and Traffic Code Rules

Republic Act 4136 (RA 4136), otherwise known as the Land Transportation and Traffic Code, is, perhaps, the most important driving law ever enacted in the Philippines. Not only did it create the Philippine Land Transportation Commission, currently known as the Land Transportation Office (LTO) under the Department of Transportation (DOTr), but it also laid the groundwork for all Philippine traffic laws and regulations currently in effect. 

Also Read: List of LTO Driving Fines and Violations

The RA 4136 is like the official playbook in terms of vehicle and traffic regulation. It is quite comprehensive, covering everything from requiring vehicle registrations in a national database, setting the registration requirements and fees, setting the standards for the speed, penalties, and fees, and ensuring that all drivers have licenses that allows them to be on the open road legally.

What is RA 4136

Republic Act 4136 refers to the Land Transportation and Traffic Code, also well-known as one of the most important driving laws ever enacted. It was enacted in 1964 and somehow became the cornerstone that laid the foundation for all Philippine traffic laws and regulations. It also mandated the creation of the Philippine Land Transportation Office (LTO) to oversee and manage the land transport and road traffic. 

The RA 4136 also serves as the Bible for everything that has anything to do with traffic management, road safety, and land transport in general. It mandated all motor vehicles to be registered. It also set the registration fees, requirements, and speed limits, as well as the penalties for non-compliance of vehicle and car owners. Likewise, it required the drivers to secure a license, whether professional or non-professional, and comply with the LTO’s registration and licensing requirements.

Scope and Coverage of RA 4136

As it serves as the basis of regulation of the land transport sector in the Philippines, the RA 4136 is comprehensive enough to cover every possible aspect of land transport. In its full range, the provisions covered by the Land Transportation and Traffic Code (RA 4136) includes:

Creation of the Commission (LTO)

This section covers the creation of an office designated and known as the Land Transportation Office (LTO), formerly Land Transportation Commission, headed by a Commissioner and a Deputy Commissioner in its mandate to administer the provisions and implementations of the law relative to road safety.

Registration of motor vehicles

This section details the mandatory registration of all motor vehicles and other vehicles before they can be used or operated on or upon any public highway of the Philippines. According to the law, the registration of motor vehicles must be renewed on or before the date fixed for different vehicle classifications, otherwise, it will become delinquent and invalid and unfit for use on open roads.

Setting of registration fees (for Motor Vehicles)

The law also provides for the mandatory LTO fees related to motor vehicle registrations and renewal depending upon the vehicle classification, weight, and dimension. The section also details the permissions for use of various types of vehicles in highways. 

Issuance, usage, and suspension of certificates of registration, records, number plates

RA 4136 also offers the provisions for the preparation, issuance, usage, and suspension of registration certificates and number plates of motor vehicles in the Philippines, including the rules for implementation of such. For example, the commission of three violations of the same type within a twelve-month period could result in the suspension of the registration certificate of the subject motor vehicle. 

Operation of motor vehicle, including application, fees, examination, issuance, suspension, revocation, and renewal of license to drive motor vehicles

The law also has provisions for the need for drivers to procure and carry around a valid license to drive and operate a motor vehicle for the current year as well as the possibility of having the vehicle impounded or the license confiscated when the licensee drives around when such license is delinquent, invalid, suspended, or revoked. The law also covers the implementing rules for foreigners, as well as the application fees and requirements and the conditions for suspension and revocation of a driver’s license in the Philippines. 

Illegal Use of Licenses, Number Plates, Etc.

The law also covers and defines what constitutes the illegal use of licenses and number plates in the country, including imitation and false representations in an attempt to make or use a driver’s license, badge, certificate of registration, number plate, tag, or permit whether it is for personal use or with the intent to sell. False or fraudulent statements or representations, especially those done knowingly and with the intent to deceive, in an application for the registration of vehicles, or for a driver’s license is also covered here.

LTO New Temporary and Improvised Plate Number For Motorcycle

Along with the guidelines for improvised or temporary plates for motor vehicles with four wheels or more, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) has also released a guideline for the motorcycles, issued via the Memorandum Circular JMT-2023-2400. 

The new memo sets the new guidelines for the use of improvised and temporary motor vehicle plates, which will be used pending the issuance of an official license plate from the LTO. As plate numbers are officially required for the identification of the vehicle, thanks to the provisions of Section 17 of Republic Act No. 4136, the new rules that will govern the use of Improvised or Temporary License Plates, along with the prescribed format, are also indicated in this memo. 

Improvised vs. Temporary plates

Improvised license plates as well as temporary license plates are two different types of motor vehicle license plates. Both are only used temprarily, while the owner awaits the issuance of the official and permanent one. Despite their similarities in nature, these two plates are actually quite different. For our purposes, let’s learn more about them. 

Improvised plates

Improvised plates, for one, refers to the plates which may be made by the owner of the motor vehicle while awaiting for the official one. This plate type requires the authority or permit to use improvised plate issued by any LTO District or Extension Offices in cases where the owner requests for duplicate plates, and is valid until the actual plate is available. It also bears the words “improvised plate” below the assigned plate number on the plate. 

Temporary plates

On the other hand, temporary plates refer to plates issued by dealerships to motorcycle owners pending the actual plate. Just like the improvised plate, the temporary plate may also be made by the owner. It also bears the words, “temporary plate” at the bottom part of the plate. However, the permit or authority to use temporary plate from the LTO is no longer necessary.

What does the new memo says about the plate numbers of motorcycles?

Under the new memo, which was received by the UP Law Center on May 30, 2023, the improvised and temporary motorcycle plates – which will be usedby the motorcycle riders and owners pending the issuance of an actual license plate from the LTO – are now bigger and will follow the assigned plate number. However, the format may vary, depending on the availability of assigned plate number as well as the vehicle type.

The memo also details the colors to be used as follows:

Using Temporary And Improvised Plates

For your guidance, here’s the complete guide for the for the new improvised and temporary plate for motorcycles:

1. New Registration with Assigned Plates

If a brand new motorcycle already has its information uploaded in the LTO’s database, and there’s already a plate assigned to it, then its temporary license plate should look exactly as the image above. The actual letter and numbers of its plate will be printed with the words “Registered” and “Temporary Plate” on the top and bottom of the plate, respectively, too.

2. New Registration without Assigned Plate

In cases when there is no plate assigned to the motorcycle yet, then the temporary plate will bear the motorcycle’s MV File Number. The MV File Number will have to be printed out on the Temporary License Plate. The plate should indicate “Temporary Plate”. The dealership will also need to be indicated on the plate’s lower right-hand side.

3. Previously Registered Without Assigned Plate

If the motorcycle is already registered with the LTO, but has yet to be assigned its own plate number, then the temporary plate will need to make do with the MV File Number. Just like newly registered motorcycles with no assigned playe, previously registered motorcycles with no assigned playe will need the MV File Number to be printed on the Temporary Plate. This time, though, the dealership will no longer be indicated.

4. Electric Motorcycle and Tactical Wheeled Vehicle (TWV) with Assigned Plate

Yes, there are electric motorcycles that exist and they do have to be registered with the LTO, depending on their classification. For this type of motorcycle, the main indicator is the word “Electric” printed on the top portion of the plate, above its actual assigned plate numbers and letters. 

Just like the electric motorcycles, the Tactical Wheeled Vehicles (TWV) also need to be registeres with the LTO. They may also use temporary plates and it will bear the same information as the electric motorcycles. 

5. Vintage Motorcycle with Assigned Plate

The Vintage Vehicle Regulation Act – now a Law – is a law designed for vintage motorcycles. The law has provisions allowing for special plates for this type of vehicles. Just like the other types, however, the temporary plates will need to indicate such. Having said that, the word “Vintage” will have to be there, on the top right portion of the plate,and this will serve as its clear identifying mark.

6. Improvised MC Plate for Lost/Mutilated Plate

For lost, stolen, or damaged plates, the motorcycle must follow the old process and seek a replacement from the LTO. Once that has been done, a proper LTO authorization to use such improvised plates while waiting for the replacement plate. After that, then you may already use improvised plate with the details that you see above until the new pair of official plates can be issued.

When can vehicle owners use improvised license plates?

Improvised license plates can only be used in the event that the vehicle’s license plate of a registered motorcycle is damaged, lost, or stolen. However, in order to use an improvised license plate, the vehicle owner must first notify, request for a duplicate plate, and receive approval for such from the LTO.

Getting Temporary Plates

When seeking for temporary plates, motorcycle owner may get one from the following:

  • The dealerships where they got the motorcycle from as they are obliged to issue one pending the release of the actual physical license plates of newly registered vehicles; 
  • The vehicle owners can make one themselves provided that their vehicles still do not have assigned license plates, but were registered prior to the release of the memorandum circular; or, 
  • Vintage vehicle owners may also make one for themselves as long as the vehicles have been officially registered under the Vintage Vehicles Regulation Act.

Note: If there is no assigned plate number, either the conduction number or the MV file number is used. Temporary license plates do not need an authorization to use; just take note that primary responsibility for them falls upon the dealership for newly purchased brand-new vehicles, and the vehicle owner for previously registered vehicles.

What is the penalty for using an improvised license plate without the required approval from the LTO?

In cases anyone is bold enough to use an improvised license plate without the required approval from the LTO, then they need to be ready to face the consequences of violating Section II (e) of the Joint Administrative Order No. 2014-01. This violation corresponds to a P5,000 fine and the confiscation of the improvised license plate from the motorcycle owner.

The primary responsibility for getting it done also falls upon the vehicle owner, who first need to report the loss or damage to the LTO to secure an authorization to use improvised plates while waiting for the replacement plates.

2. What is the new plate number for motorcycle in the Philippines?

According to JMT-2023-2400, improvised plates are “defined as plates which may be made by the vehicle owner while awaiting for the replacement of their lost or mutilated plate number”. It adds, “The improvised plate shall contain the assigned plate number of the vehicle and with the words ‘Improvised Plate’ below it.

5. Is it okay to use temporary plate number for motorcycle?

For motorcycles that are already registered but still have no assigned plate number, the MV File shall be used and should indicate “Temporary Plate”. Do note thay only dealers are allowed to issue temporary plates so the new vehicle can be brought home in accordance to the ‘no plate, no travel’ policy. As for the improvised plates, these can only be used under these specific circumstances: loss, theft, or damage of existing plates.

Summary

Depending on the type of the vehicle or registration, this guide details the specific use of improvised and temporary plates for motorcycles in the Philippines. It is generally for the dealerships, but in case your dealership does not meet these specifics, or does not meet the LTO’s proper timeline for the release of your license plates (AKA bought before this plate shortage but still no plates given), you can make a report or do something about it. After all, some dealerships have already been fined, so yes, you can make demands or simply report these instances to the authorities.
