    Steps after accomplishing requirements for the Online LTO Registration Renewal

    As we hinted at previously, some steps in the new procedure will still need you to get up from your desk and leave. To send the records electronically to the LTMS, you must first get a Certificate of Coverage (COC) from your preferred insurance company.

    You'll then need to take your car to a Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Center (PMVIC) for an actual inspection. The PMVIC will then electronically submit the records to the LTMS if it decides that your car is roadworthy.

    After completing these procedures, you should return to the internet.

    After that, you can use the system to settle payments and produce an official receipt (OR). You are then ready to drive away with your newly registered vehicle.
