Prepare 1 page reaction paper about the requirements in registering a
motor vehicle for private and for hire.

 It’s in the Philippine law that we have to familiarize ourselves with the process of
registering your motor vehicle. There are many reasons why it is important to register
your motor as aspect of owning one. Based on research, a car or motor vehicle
registration is basically a process used by the government to establish a link between
vehicles and its owners or users. The registration is under Land Transportation Office or
LTO, a government agency showcasing fast and efficient public service for a
progressive land transport sector.

There are two most important documents in the registration of motor vehicle; we
have Official Receipt (OR) and Certification of Registration (CR). The LTO Official
Receipt, more commonly known as the OR refers to the document issued by the Land
Transportation Office. This is a receipt serving as proof that the owner has paid for the
vehicle's registration. While, Certification of Registration contains more technical
information about a particular vehicle: make, model, vehicle class, motor number,
chassis number, engine displacement, number of cylinders, gross weight, net capacity,
and total number of passengers, as well as the owner's complete name and address.
Moreover, the OR/CR of vehicle will serve as the unique ID. The renewal process is
basically the same as when you register your car for the first time. The first step is about
complying with the requirements. The requirements in registering private vehicle are the
following: Photocopy of OR/CR, Appropriate Insurance Certificate of Cover, Duly
accomplished and approved Motor Vehicle Inspection Report (MVIR), Certificate of
Emission Compliance (CEC), and Taxpayer’s Identification Number (TIN). For “For Hire”
vehicles, the following additional requirements are required: Confirmation of Franchise
from the LTFRB and Valid Motorized Tricycle Operator’s Permit (MTOP) for tricycle
(TC) only. The first step is about complying with the requirements. Then, the nest step is
going to the nearest LTO Branch in your area. Followed by, go to the transaction
counters and submit all the requirements to the person in charge. The next is the
accomplishment of Motor Vehicle Inspection Report after the vehicle has been
inspected. Then, wait for your name to be called on the cashier’s area and pay for all
fees and get the original receipt. Lastly, proceed to the releasing counter and wait for
your name to be called and you will be provided with the Certificate of Registration
(CR), plates, and stickers.

Thus, requirements in registering a motor vehicle for private and for hire is mere
the same and important as part of compliance with Land Registration Office.
