The Department of Transportation – Land Transportation Office (DOTr-LTO) will be implementing an online payment system for the initial registration fees for 3 years of new motor vehicles and motorcycles (MV/MC) in Luzon by November 2018, and the rest of the country before the end of the year.

The online system for LTO new registration transactions, which is currently available in Metro Manila, will soon expand to the rest of Luzon by November 2018, while it will be implemented in Visayas and Mindanao regional offices before the year ends.
The LTO-National Capital Region (NCR), under Regional Director Clarence V. Guinto, shared its experiences and insights on the online assessment and payment systems through orientation seminars at other regional offices in Luzon, in preparation for the Luzon-wide implementation of the online assessment and payment for registration of new MVs/MCs.
LTO is using the Electronic Payment Assessment Tool (e-PAT), a web-based facility that computes the amount to be paid without human intervention thus eliminating the opportunity to bribe or extort.
At present, LTO is one of the government agency which has adopted the tool. Other forms of payments such as fees for license application and renewal, as well as MV/MC renewal can be paid online by next year.
