Update: Virtual Plate Numbers may vary from the Actual LTO Plates
Quick summary:
If your car was registered starting July 2016, the virtual plate number printed in your Certificate of Registration may be different from the actual LTO plates you will receive. The first letter will change from “A” to the letter assigned to the LTO Regional Office.
From James Deakin’s Facebook (Aug 24, 2018)
“More than a few people have reached out about some confusing plates that don’t match their OR/CR. So I reached out to the LTO and this is how they explain it:
“As agreed during a meeting with NRU (New Registration Units) prior to rollout ng PLATES:
It was agreed na all manufactured plates issued for MV Registered Starting July 2016 will revert to the previous assignment of series for regional office. All manufactured plate will represent their respective region based on their initial prefix letter
Such as
Regional Office 1 – Y
Regional Office 2 – B
Regional Office 3 – C
Regional Office 4A – D
Regional Office 4B – V
Regional Office 5 – E
Regional Office 6 – F
Regional Office 7 – G
Regional Office 8 – H
Regional Office 9 – I
Regional Office 10 – J
Regional Office 11 – K
Regional Office 12 – L
NCR – N
So on and so forth
Why ang Region 1 is Y? Because instead of A whose series is already used, they assigned prefix instead is Y.
In this case, the ACX Virtual Plate, which was assigned in Region 1, the Manufactured Plate is YCX instead of ACX.
This applies to all region with assigned Virtual Plates.
Example
An ACP Virtual Plate which was assigned in NCR will be manufactured as NCP (to determine the Region where region the vehicle is registered.
As you can easily notice – all manufactured plate no longer bears the name of Regional Office under the Plate Number unlike before.
They can be identified thru the 1st letter of the plate.
As to documents (Plates printed in the CR no longer matches with the actual plates), they can go to their respective district office that issued the CR or the Regional Office, to annotate or initialize the corrected plate in the CR. Or they can also request for a screenshot of actual plate issued to the vehicle as supporting document to the “initialized” plates in the CR
Or
They can have the CR reprinted in the LTO Office, para malinis.
Like the Region 3
From ADJ to CDJ
Painitial na lang po yung CR with the manufactured plate. And you can request for screenshot (which can be viewed in all on line LTO offices)
Correction
CAR – is Y
While Regional Office No. 1 is I
Region 9 is J
Region 10 is K
etc..”
So for now, we’d recommend that clients to remain using their conduction plates until LTO releases their official car plate.

LTO Issues Standard Conduction Plate for Cars Registered starting June 1, 2017
Update (Mar 2017): Implementation of this memo was postponed from Feb 15, 2017 to June 1, 2017
LTO released a memo last January 11, 2017 related to conduction sticker plates that is causing some confusion to the motoring public. Here is all the information we gathered to help our customers and friends.
Last January 11, 2017, LTO issued a memo that the conduction sticker numbers will serve as temporary license plate numbers for vehicles. They also provided a standard design of conduction plates. All dealers are required to provide conduction plates that are reflectorized and follow the standard design for cars registered starting Feb 15, 2017. We called the LTO Operations Division. They clarified that the new standard design is indeed required for vehicles bought and registered starting Feb 15, 2017.
Later on Feb 23, 2017, LTO released another circular deferring the implementation of the new LTO standard design to June 1, 2017. (see memo copy below)
So if your car OR and CR shows that it was registered before June 1, 2017, you are not required to follow this memo.
You can read the memo here:
Frequently asked questions:

I registered my car June 20, 2017. Can I order a personalized conduction plate?

I ordered a conduction plate from Conduction Plate Manila in 2016. Do I need to change my plates to the LTO standard conduction plate design?
No. The directive is only applicable to vehicles registered starting June 1, 2017. You can still continue using your Conduction Plate Manila plates until your official LTO plates arrive.

Yes. Please email us at conductionplate@gmail.com with the following details (Dealer name, quantity, contact person, contact details- landline, mobile) so we can provide you a quotation.

What are Virtual Plates?
MANILA, PHILIPPINES – We have been getting a lot of inquiries on the Virtual Plates from our clients in the past few months. Here is a quick FAQ on the matter.
What are Virtual Plates?
Virtual Plate numbers are the assigned car registration numbers for new vehicles. Because of the delay in the procurement and production of the official government-issued plates in the Philippines, the new vehicles already have assigned plate numbers but the physical plates are not yet available. This will aid you in the release of the plate number in the future.
These assigned numbers are called by many, the Virtual Plate.
Where can I get my assigned Virtual Plate?
The Virtual Plate Numbers will be given to your car dealer. Usually, there is a certificate showing the plate number.
Can I have Virtual Plates made?
We do not recommend you to have Virtual Plates made. There is a regulation in LTO prohibiting the making of improvised plates and since the Virtual Plate is the LTO plate number, this will be considered an improvised plate. This has a corresponding penalty.
LTO Issued me an Authority to Use Improvised Plates. Can I have a temporary plate done?
If LTO issued you an Authority to Use Improvised Plates, you can safely have virtual plates made.
If the production of Virtual Plates is not recommended, can I still have conduction plates made?
Yes, you can still have your conduction plates made. Conduction Plate Manila makes reasonably priced conduction plates.
How can I order a conduction plate?
You can order here.
I lost my plate number. What should I do?
Please read our article “What to do if your plates are lost or needs to be replaced?”
