Background
The Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) operates the administrative mechanisms for issuance and sale of personalized vehicle license numbers as part of Cambodia’s vehicle registration services. MPWT publishes available plate combinations and price information through a dedicated online portal to allow direct purchase by owners and interested buyers.
Prices for eight-character personalized license numbers start at 100,000 Riel, with longer or more sought-after combinations priced higher. The MPWT online system lists specific plate examples and unit prices to support transparent offering and selection by vehicle owners.
Scope of Application
The MPWT measure applies to the sale and allocation of special personal license numbers for motor vehicles and related vehicle categories managed under MPWT registration procedures. Availability and pricing information are published on the MPWT “moto-vehicle” portal for persons seeking to obtain a customized registration number.

Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
The availability of a public online channel for purchasing special personal license numbers creates a transparent fee schedule and a predictable access point for vehicle owners, rental fleets, and dealerships arranging registrations. Businesses that facilitate vehicle sales or registration services should integrate the MPWT portal process and fee data into client advisory and compliance workflows to ensure accurate billing and documentation.
