From 22 December 2003, the Land and
Transport Authority (LTA) will be introducing changes to the scheme on the
retention of vehicle registration numbers. |
|
These changes will enable vehicle
owners to enjoy greater flexibility to use their retained vehicle registration
numbers after the vehicles are de-registered. These changes are being introduced
following feedback from members of the public. |
|
The changes are as follows: |
|
1. A vehicle owner
can transfer the retained vehicle registration number to an existing vehicle he
owns. Previously, the retained vehicle registration number could only be used to
register a new vehicle. |
|
2. A vehicle owner
will have up to 12 months to use the retained vehicle registration number.
Previously, the existing registration number had to be used to register a new
vehicle within 6 months. |
|
The following table gives the
breakdown of the charges: |
