📋 Tender Overview
The implementation will begin on December 17. The chip will allow access to minor vehicle information, including owner data, validity of the SOAT and inspection status.The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) reported that the implementation of the new National Single License Plate with RFID technology for motorcycles will begin on December 17, 2025. This provision will apply in cases of new registrations, transfers of ownership (such as purchase and sale), modifications to vehicle characteristics and when the user decides to change their license plate voluntarily. With this, a faster, more precise and safer vehicle identification is sought, in accordance with the regulations approved by the sector.
The new plate incorporates a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip in the front electronic sticker for smaller Category L vehicles (motorcycles, motorcycle taxis and ATVs), which will allow automatic remote reading using manual devices or gantries installed on public roads. This technology will also facilitate real-time access to data such as vehicle identification, SOAT validity, technical inspections, among others.
Furthermore, in order to improve monitoring and facilitate more efficient inspection, improvements have been introduced both in the physical design of the metal back plate - white background, larger size (17 cm high by 20 cm long), hologram, laser code and water seal - and in its identification system, through a new encoding of seven alphanumeric characters (three letters and four digits). These measures also help reduce counterfeiting, cloning and manipulation of film plates.
The director of Policies and Standards in Road Transportation, Ofelia Soriano, highlighted that this provision will allow vehicles to be integrated with intelligent transportation systems, such as electronic tolls, speed control and automated inspection, strengthening road and citizen safety. Likewise, he indicated that it will reduce in-person procedures, improve transparency and increase the operational capacity of the State to detect vehicles with records or irregularities.
It should be noted that the implementation of these plates, whose schedule will be announced at the beginning of next year, constitutes an action promoted by the MTC, in its capacity as the regulatory governing body for land transportation in the country.
For its part, the National Superintendency of Public Registries (Sunarp) will be the entity in charge of assigning the registration number, while the National Police of Peru will assume operational control on the roads, verifying that category L vehicles circulate carrying all the new elements that make up the license plate.
