Background
Vehicle plate administration is part of Cambodia’s transport registration system, which links vehicles to official identification records used by public authorities. The Ministry of Public Works and Transport manages vehicle registration services and related digital platforms for road transport administration in Cambodia.
Personalized plate number services allow registered vehicle users to select approved combinations of names, letters, or numbers within the format permitted by the registration system. For motorcycles, tricycles, and four-wheeled motorcycles, MPWT’s special personalized number service permits combinations of up to eight characters.
Digital pricing and purchase channels reduce the need for in-person inquiries and make official fee information available before a user applies for a selected plate number. In Cambodia’s vehicle registration framework, online access to plate pricing supports more transparent administration of optional registration services.
Key Developments
The Ministry of Public Works and Transport stated that personalized special numbers are available for motorcycles, tricycles, and four-wheeled motorcycles through the official platform at https://moto-vehicle.mpwt.gov.kh.
MPWT said users may choose personalized plate numbers using names, letters, numbers, or similar combinations, provided the selected format does not exceed eight characters. The ministry also stated that the price becomes lower as the number of characters increases.
The ministry identified the starting price for an eight-character personalized special number as 100,000 riel. As an example, MPWT listed the personalized number THEAVY.8 at 112,100 riel.
Institutional Role
MPWT is the public authority responsible for road transport registration services covered by its administrative mandate. Its online motorcycle vehicle platform functions as the official channel for checking the price of personalized special numbers and purchasing eligible number selections.
The post also directed the public to MPWT hotline 1275 for further information. The use of an official hotline and ministry platform helps distinguish government-administered registration services from informal or unofficial pricing channels.
Operational Implications
Vehicle owners seeking a personalized number for a motorcycle, tricycle, or four-wheeled motorcycle can verify the price before purchase through the MPWT online system. The announced pricing details are relevant to users comparing optional personalized plate numbers against standard registration options.
For transport administration, the service reflects continued digitization of vehicle registration-related transactions. The pricing example provides a reference point for how MPWT communicates official fees for optional personalized plate number choices.
