Procedure to replace OPC number plate

[Bluepica]

Many have asked, but few have answered.

 

This is my field report for the benefit of those who wants to replace their defaced OPC car number plate. Mine was plastic numbering and has turned yellow in less than a year.

 

 

1. Download form R08 from onemotoring.com.sg > LTA information & guidelines > forms download > WEC & Off Peak car scheme >R08

2. Find a car number plate maker and get ur number plate done. (duration for new number plate to be done = 30min - 1hr) ($60 - $80)

3. Have form R08 chop and signed by ur car number plate maker at Appendix 1 of the form. Fill in his particulars on the front page too. Choose option 3. other reason from the option y u wanna change ur number plate. State reason as "replace defaced number plate"

4. Send ur car to inspection center for seal inspection ($10.70).

5. Bring along owner photostat IC (if owner, then own IC), inspection slip and filled form R08 to LTA Sin Ming. (duration = <1hr)

6. Bring to workshop with the LTA approval letter to remove the seal and change the number plate. ($70- $100 depends how complicated it is, some seal need welding to remove and re-attach)

7. Send back to inspection center to apply the seal. ($16.05)

8. DONE!

 

I just got it done yesterday all in all took me only 3hrs from inspection, LTA approval, remove seal, re-apply seal.

Total damaged $156.75 + $20 OPC coupon.

 

Hope this helps our fellow OPC driver!

sounds like a lot of work. i did mine differently. tear opc coupon, drove car to license plate maker at bt merah side. leave car with them. go home, evening collect car back 6pm with paperwork all done and kept the copies. paid 180 for everything.

Not sure if its been asked but I have not seen this...

 

I have a 20 yr old car (normal plate) and have just bought a new COE to extend it

 

If I convert to OPC, do I get the 2.2k annual cash rebate?
