(NAR) VOL. 20 NO.2 / APRIL - JUNE 2009

[ LTO MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. ACL-2009-1156, May 12, 2009 ]

CODING STANDARDS FOR THE ENGINE AND CHASSIS



In line with the database clean-up plan and to ensure effective enforcement of Republic Act 6539 otherwise known as the “Anti-Carnapping Act” by discouraging the entry of false information in the LTO databases and to ensure uniqueness of every motor vehicle component, only alpha characters from A to Z and numeric from 0 (zero) to 9 (nine) shall be inputted in the encoding of the engine and chassis numbers. In other words, all special character such as asterisk (*), dash (-), space ( ), etc., should not be inputted.

To illustrate, engine number 4K-12345 should be encoded in this manner 4K12345 and chassis number PMSS-12345-C should be encoded as PMSS12345C, note the removal of the dash (-) and the space ( ).

All orders and memoranda that are in conflict herewith are hereby superseded.

This Order shall take effect immediately.

Adopted: 12 May 2009
