New plate on new car is Free

Old plate on new car is $100 plus GST

 

Paperwork very simple. Go LTA/download the form, filled it up, take a q number at the receptionist and proceed to the counter.

i think it is $300 to replace your old number plate not including of the amount you bidded for.

as for your old number plate,i guess they LTA will help you to "get rid" of it.

you sounded like a staff there.

i have read that it is valid for 1 year and after that it cost $1000 every 6 months for a maximum of 2 times to renew it.may i ask what does it mean?

is it for those bidded numbers that had yet to register on a car?

if those bidded numbers already register within 1 year,it can be ignore is it?

I believe he copied from the website! [:p]

a new bidded plate valid for a year. ie without registering on a car. It can extend the validity for another 6 months by paying $1000. If not register by then u can choose to extend another 6 months by paying another $1000. If not register by then then bye bye!

 

But for me if 2 yrs up not register, jus buy a scrap car n transfer the plate to this junk and scrapped. This way u can keep for another year! [sly][sly]

Need to check with you guys.....

 

I am converting my OPC to a normal car due to change in usage pattern.

 

It was stated that i need to convert change my plate car within 3 days after payment and approval from LTA.

 

Can anyone with similar experience help me with the following questions?

 

Do you know who/where can i change and mount the new car plate? Who will help remove the seal on my current red plate now?

Does Autobacs provide this service?

Can i like pre-order the number plate, and go down and change on the same day i settle the conversion with LTA?

 

Thanks in advance!!!!

Sorry to bring up this old thread, however, after doing some search, I wanna ask has anyone ever swapped car plates between two cars?

 

I am selling off my second ride but somewhat reluctant to let go its plate, is it possible to swap between my cars and how much would LTA charge me? It's not gonna cost me $1300 X 2 = $2600 is it?

Did you manage to get any answers yet? I in somewhat similar situation, I have a current number plate that I wanna retain in a pre-owned car that I just bought. 2600 is really expensive.. ?

Hi,

 

I just got my 2nd car, sold my current ride to a car dealer. Paid $100 extra to retain car plate (on top of the standard carplate registration fee). SE do everything for me.

 

How come you need to pay $2600?
