The Department of Motor
Traffic has announced that the issue delaying the issuance of vehicle
number plates has been successfully resolved, and re-issuance is now underway.
Vehicle owners who have already paid for their number plates are urged to
collect them by December 15, 2024.
Deadlines and Legal Implications
The Commissioner General has emphasized that vehicles with temporary number plates will not be allowed on roads after December 15. Strict legal action, including fines and other penalties, will be taken against vehicles operating without permanent plates beyond this deadline.
Permits for temporary number plates will also expire on December 15, leaving no legal provision for such vehicles to operate on public roads.
Steps for Vehicle Owners
Vehicle owners who have already completed payments for their number plates are required to collect them from the Department of Motor Traffic before the deadline. Any delays in compliance may result in fines or legal penalties.
For assistance or inquiries, individuals are encouraged to contact the Department directly.
Resolution of Previous Issues
The Commissioner General has assured the public that the technical and administrative challenges causing delays in the issuance of number plates have been fully resolved. The process is now running smoothly to ensure timely compliance.
Strict Enforcement Measures
The Police Department will closely monitor compliance and take immediate action against violators to ensure road safety and adherence to traffic regulations. Vehicle owners are strongly advised to act promptly to avoid inconvenience or legal consequences.
Conclusion
The resolution of the number plate issue marks a critical step in ensuring compliance with Sri Lanka’s traffic regulations. Vehicle owners are urged to act quickly to meet the December 15 deadline, avoiding penalties and ensuring their vehicles are legally compliant.
