Overview
- From December 17, the requirement applies to motorcycles, mototaxis and other category L vehicles when newly registered, transferred, technically modified or voluntarily updated.
- The transport ministry plans a progressive replaqueo for existing vehicles to be set by a forthcoming schedule, with one outlet reporting a February 2026 to November 2031 window and sanctions beginning in October 2026.
- The system pairs a front RFID sticker readable by handheld or gantry readers with a larger rear metal plate featuring a white background, holograms, laser code, watermark and a seven-character alphanumeric format.
- Sunarp will assign registration numbers and the National Police will conduct roadside enforcement, while owners cover about S/27 for the Sunarp procedure plus the cost of issuing the plates.
- The policy is bundled with rules for reflective vests displaying the plate number and helmets with transparent visors, prompting mixed reactions over added costs and likely impact on crime.
