The introduction of digital plates has been implemented in stages:

Phase Two: Began on 1st November 2024, covering motorcycles.
Phase Three: Starting today, it targets all private and public motor vehicles.
The Ministry has outlined several steps to manage the transition:
Completion of Previous Orders: GM Tumpeco Ltd and ABC Ltd will handle all orders for motor vehicle plates submitted by yesterday.
Grace Period for Collection: Motor vehicle owners and dealers have 30 days, until 5th February 2025, to pick up their plates for previous orders from Spear Motors (GM Tumpeco) or ABC Ltd.
New Orders: From today, all new plate orders will be managed by Joint Stock Company Global Security (JSCGS).
The Ministry has urged vehicle owners and dealers to collect their plates promptly during the grace period. Plates not collected by the deadline will require a new application under the updated system.
