Overview
- The Ministry of Justice says more than 55,000 metal plates for newly registered vehicles are ready for immediate collection nationwide.
- Automotive registries report receiving all pending plates, and authorities say it is now each owner's responsibility to retrieve them.
- Drivers and security forces can check plate readiness through the DNRPA website using the vehicle’s registration details.
- Officials credit mass distribution efforts and new suppliers added through public tenders for ending the shortage.
- The shortage began in 2023 due to import constraints and reliance on a single state supplier, leading to over 400,000 provisional paper plates in 2024–2025 and complications for enforcement and tolling.
