Reassignment Of Registration Numbers

Nov. 22, 2024

 

THE TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT HEREBY INFORMS THE GENERAL PUBLIC OF THE PROVISIONS UNDER SECTION 8 (8) OF THE VEHICLES & ROAD TRAFFIC ACT, CHAPTER 15.06. THIS SECTION STIPULATES THAT:

 

(1)  REGISTRATION NUMBERS ASSIGNED TO MOTOR VEHICLES REMAIN VALID FOR A PERIOD OF TWELVE (12) MONTHS, PROVIDED THE VEHICLE’S LICENCE IS RENEWED WITHIN THIS TIME FRAME

 

(2)  IF A VEHICLE’S LICENCE IS NOT RENEWED WITHIN TWELVE (12) MONTHS AFTER ITS EXPIRY DATE, THE REGISTRATION NUMBER ASSIGNED TO THAT VEHICLE BECOMES ELIGIBLE FOR REASSIGNMENT, UNLESS A REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION IS MADE IN WRITING

 

THIS REASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION NUMBERS IS ESSENTIAL TO MAINTAIN A SUFFICIENT POOL OF NUMBERS FOR NEW VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS

 

THE TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT WILL BEGIN REASSIGNING NUMBERS THAT MEET THE CRITERIA OUTLINED ABOVE. OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH EXPIRED LICENCES BEYOND THE STIPULATED TIMEFRAME ARE ENCOURAGED TO RENEW THEIR LICENCES PROMPTLY IF THEY WISH TO RETAIN THEIR CURRENT REGISTRATION NUMBER. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR CLARIFICATION, MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE ADVISED TO CONTACT THE TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT
