The Transport Authority has commenced motor vehicle examinations for the renewal of all Public Passenger Vehicle (PPV) road licences, which expire on March 31.

The Authority said this is in order to facilitate the timely submission of road licence applications, to finalize the renewal process.

It said early commencement of motor vehicle examination is part of its thrust to provide convenient and efficient service to customers.

Under this facility, persons are not required to pay the motor vehicle examination fees up front, as the fees will be collected upon submission of their applications for renewal of their road licences.

Owners of PPV’s are being reminded that failure to complete the renewal process by Friday, March 29, means that their road licences would become invalid, as of April 1.

Additionally, PPV operators and applicants must meet the approved Transport Authority standards and requirements in order to receive a road licence.

These include colour coding, exterior markings and vehicle age requirements.
