Replacement Plates

A replacement plate is the white plate that replaces the old green plate to standardize the plates of all registered vehicles. This replacement process is applied and paid for in Land Transportation Office (LTO) offices, simultaneous with your registration renewal.

If you are one of the 1.797M who have yet to receive the new white replacement plate that you've already paid for at the Land Transportation Office (LTO) as far back as 2015 to replace your green LTO license plate, then you'd want to check here.
