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All orders and memoranda that are in conflict herewith are hereby superseded.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