LTO Change of Engine / Body / Body Design

LTO Citizen’s Charter includes miscellaneous registration for change of body/body design/engine/color. Use this guide for engine or body/body-design changes; use the separate Change of Vehicle Color guide for color-only transactions. Expect OR/CR, identity docs, and inspection or supporting proofs the District Office requires. Fees are confirm-at-cashier. Follow only the stamping or clearance items on your District Office checklist.

Update motor vehicle records for engine, body, or body-design changes under LTO miscellaneous registration—distinct from color-only changes.
