Greetings to all. I just had our car renewed today but was not advised on anything regarding changing of number plate (we still hold the old plate). I was not given a sticker as well. My concern is should I go and ask for a new plate or just wait until the next renewal (which is on Sept 2013!)? If I do the first one, anyone can tell
me the procedure? And if I wait til the next renewal, would that cause a problem while we're on the road? Anybody has the same experience, would gladly appreciate answers. thanks!

If you are registered with metrash you will receive an SMS saying that the new number plate is ready. Then within one month time you have to fix the new number plate. Otherwise you have to pay a penalty.

Just give 2 weeks time and then you have to go main traffic dept near Landmark shopping centre, then ask about the plate there ..

A friend did renewal at Air Port area branch on July 17th, returned empty handed three times ... now planning to check there near LM as in Air Port area branch plate fixing is stopped.

Go back to the traffic department. You should have been asked what size you want and the plates will be ready within 5 days. Do not wait until next year as you might pay a penalty.
