I have applied to retain my vehicle registration number. What happens if I am not able to use the retained vehicle registration number by the end of the 12-month validity period?
In the event that the retained number cannot be utilised by the expiry date, vehicle owners can apply to LTA and pay a fee of $1,021.40, which includes an extension fee of $1,000 and an administrative fee of $20 (before GST) to extend the usage validity period of a retained number for another 6 months. Otherwise, the validity of use of the retained number will lapse and it cannot be used on another vehicle. The extension period is fixed at 6 months per extension and there will be no pro-ration of the extension period or fee and vehicle owners should apply for the extension before the validity of number expires.
