Background
The Ministry of Public Works and Transport administers vehicle registration and license-plate issuance through an online portal at https://vehicle.mpwt.gov.kh.
MPWT’s personalized license-plate option permits up to eight alphanumeric characters and sets base prices starting at 2,000,000 riel for eight-character plates.
The ministry’s announcements distinguish personalized plates from standard capital-province registrations and include a staged discount schedule for regular provincial numbers. The public notice lists specific discount levels for successive reduction steps: 50%, 75%, 90%, 95%, and 100% for the listed reduction points.
Scope of Application
The pricing and discounts apply to vehicle license plates offered through the MPWT vehicle portal and related MPWT registration channels. Personalized plates are available as an add-on option for registrants who choose custom names, letters, or numbers up to eight characters in length. Standard capital- and provincial-series registrations remain available under the regular pricing and the published discount schedule.
Key Provisions or Decisions
MPWT published a sample price for a personalized plate: the plate THEAVY.7 is listed at 3,392,400 riel. The ministry states that personalized-plate prices start from 2,000,000 riel for eight-character combinations. The announcement also details a tiered discounting mechanism for certain standard provincial number sequences, with the specific percentage levels described in the Background section.
Implications for Businesses and Compliance
Vehicle dealers, registration service providers, and fleet managers should incorporate the published pricing and the online procurement channel into sales and registration workflows. Organizations that advise customers on vehicle purchase costs will need to account for personalized-plate fees and the applicable provincial-series discounts when estimating final registration expenses.
