LTO Vehicle Transfer of Ownership and Registration Guide

Here is a step-by-step guide for LTO Transfer of Ownership and Registration. My friend Rovik decided to transfer the ownership of his Toyota Revo into his name and along the way he made a guide for those who might need it in the future. 

Sign Inside Camp Karingal

Documents to prepare:

1. Notarized Deed of Sale (3 copies although you need only one)
2. Photocopies of the seller's IDs (4 copies)
3. Photocopies of the buyer's IDs (4 copies)
4. Photocopies of the CR and latest OR (4 copies)
5. Certificate of Registration
6. Latest Official Receipt
7. Money, around 5-6k

Part I: PNP Clearance

1. Go to Camp Karingal in Sikatuna Village, QC.
2. After passing the main gate, take the 1st right turn and follow the road until you reach the motor vehicle inspection division. Its a small 2-storey white building to the left with a police parking lot to the right and a bit ahead there's a stencil area and car impound.
3. Go inside the white building and go to the door to the right. Tell the clerk you're applying for clearance for a transfer of ownership. The clerk will take the original deed of sale, CR, OR, and a 2 copies of each of your photocopied documents. If you forgot to photocopy documents there is a photocopier in the office.
4. The clerk will instruct you to make a payment in Landbank. It costs 300 but its annoying since you have to go out of the camp and go either to the East Ave. Landbank or the QC City Hall Landbank. Make the payment and come back to the camp.
5. Go back to the clerk, we will give back the photocopies he asked for and instruct you to go to the stencil area. He will also give you a pink sheet of paper which you need to fill up before having the car's chassis number and engine number stenciled.
6. Park the car in the stencil area, look for the macro-etching technicians. They're usually seated in the left corner end of the lot under the Alateris tree.
7. Give the photocopies and pink paper to him, he will inspect the papers and tell you if you have something missing. If everything is in order he will ask for the stencil boys. This might take a while because it seems they work in batches.
8. The stencil guy will do his thing. Afterwards he will give the stencil sheets to the technician. The technician will sign them and tell you, "ikaw na po bahala sa kanya (referring to the stencil guy)". I gave the stencil guy P100.
9. Move the car in front of the white building. This area is used for picture-taking.
10. Submit the stencils to the clerk, he will then instruct you to move your car to the front of the building (step 9) and he will ask you to go out and wait for him.
11. Picture taking with the policeman
12. The clerk will direct you to the encoders who have your documents. It seems they will make your TPL for you. The encoder will ask for P1075 for the TPL. At this point you will have your CR, OR, and TPL.
13. The PNP clearance will be ready after 3 business days. However if you want to get the clearance in a few hours the clerk will offer to rush the processing. If you go this route he will ask for your original OR and CR again. I got the clearance and other documents from the encoder a few hours later and paid P500. I think the encoder and clerk are business partners in the office lolz.

Part II: LTO

Prerequisites: PNP Clearance

Note: I think the steps I did were out of order I'll try to reconstruct the proper order

1. Go to the LTO Office where your vehicle was registered. In my case it was in Mandaluyong
2. Go to the inspector, he will check the documents. Tell him you're having the transferring the ownership of the vehicle and also registering it.
3. The inspector will refer you to the Records window, he will then direct you to have your car undergo emission testing.
4. Have your car undergo emission test. Paid P420 for this.
5. Go back to the inspector. He will have the car stenciled. Paid P100 to the stencil guy.
6. Go back to the records window and give the documents. He will tell you that the transfer will need to be approved by the Division Chief.
7. Wait for your name to be called, after which you will proceed to the payments window. Paid P2530 for this (wtf is MVUC? it costs P2000 by itself!)
8. You will receive the OR, have it photocopied and signed by the Division Chief.
9. Upon getting the signed photocopy of the OR, go to the sticker window and give the OR and photocopy of the OR. He will then give you the stickers and the OR.
10. Wait for your CR.

Notes on LTO Registration: I've not experienced having to do steps 7-9 when registering my car, it's probably because I did everything myself. Usually after the emission test I just have to wait and then pay and then the I'll get the OR with the sticker.

I have to say this too, the LTO Mandaluyong Division Chief and some of his staff worked past 5pm to get my stuff done. Honestly I was surprised lolz, I was expecting na di matatapos yung registration that day.

Costs:

1. PNP Clearance - 300

2. PNP stencil - 100 (your call how much you will give the guy)

3. TPL - 1075

4. PNP Clearance rush - 500 (optional)

5. Emission testing - 420

6. LTO stencil - 100 (your call how much you will give the guy)

7. LTO Registration - 2530

I hope this guide helps.
