Background
Cambodia’s Ministry of Public Works and Transport administers the national vehicle registration system and operates an online portal for licence-plate reservation and sale. MPWT’s personalised licence-plate option allows plates of up to eight characters for cars, trailers, and four-wheeled motorcycles.
The ministry publishes a public price schedule on its moto-vehicle portal and provides a hotline for customer enquiries. MPWT lists personalised-plate prices starting at 100,000 riel for an eight-character plate, and the sample plate TEVY.123 is listed at 179,700 riel.
Key Developments
MPWT posted detailed pricing and an online purchase option on the portal https://moto-vehicle.mpwt.gov.kh, enabling vehicle owners to view availability and buy plates directly. The announcement identifies personalised plates as an optional service for owners who prefer custom characters, names, or numbers on licence plates.
Operational Implications
Vehicle owners seeking custom plates can check availability and complete transactions through MPWT’s online system, and may contact the ministry’s hotline (1275) for assistance. Businesses that provide vehicle registration or fleet management services should incorporate the portal’s pricing and procurement steps into their customer processes.
Institutional Role
MPWT manages both the technical operation of the licence-plate reservation platform and the fee schedule for personalised plates as part of its broader mandate over road and vehicle administration. The published prices and online purchase mechanism reflect MPWT’s role in delivering digital public services for vehicle registration.
