The renewal of the motorcycle registration in Cebu/Mandaue city is always a stressful process especially if you’re a first timer or not prepared when it comes to the requirements.

Good thing is we can now ask directly the PMVIC to have a renewal package where it includes the checking your vehicle and at the same time they’ll the one will process your new OR (Official Receipt) of the vehicle registration instead of you’re the one who will be going to the LTO offices. but just keep this in mind that it will take a few days, so you’ll just wait for their text for you to get the new OR.

But before that, you need to secure first the basic requirements.
I’ll just copy my previous vehicle registration documentation.
