The National Police (PN), through the Traffic and Road Safety Directorate (DTSR), will adopt a new registration plate model for vehicles that are licensed from today. Vehicles already registered will have two years to have their license plates replaced
According to the National Police, starting today, Wednesday, all vehicles that are registered will receive a new registration plate. The presentation of the plate and the new system for registering and assigning number plates takes place today, the 10th, at the DTSR headquarters, in Luanda.
Preliminary information provided by the spokesperson and deputy director of the institutional communication and press office of the National Police, deputy commissioner Mateus Rodrigues, in an interview with Novo Jornal, shows that, in relation to vehicles already registered, the old registration plates will have a period of two years to be replaced. He clarified that the registration numbers will not be changed, only the license plates.
“What will stop happening is that citizens stop putting their vehicle registration number on any corner, without following the rules,” he said. According to Mateus Rodrigues, from now on, the rules that will define the number plates to be used on vehicles have been established. As for the locations for manufacturing the number plates, Matthew Rodrigues, who did not give names, said that around 80 companies are already authorized throughout Maria Custódia in the country and will manufacture them.
“When vehicles are registered, citizens will be informed regarding these companies”, said this official commissioner, ensuring that the new registration plates will be standardized with security elements. The new registration plate will help to identify vehicles and their owners more easily and efficiently.
