Heythere said:I am new to car ownership in the DR.
I recently bought the revista sticker for my car.
I hear that I may need to get stickers for my licence plates?
Is this true? I live in Santo Domingo. Where do I have to go? What is the process? Cost?
Thank you.
Cheers
Not a big deal Escott, all you need is the 'cedula' of the previous owner or have him do the renewal for you...LOL My wife usually does both our cars without a problem. They are both under my name. All my wife takes is my 'cedula' (matricula and cash...hehe) and doesn't run into any problems. Last time she renewed our cars she said that she had to provide her 'cedula' too but in that case the plates were changed from the ugly brownish-orange to the nicer two tone yellow-white.Escott said:What if the car is still in the previous owners name?
I don't know. The old, now discontinued, brownish-orange plates were here for quite some time. I suppose that the new yellow-white plates will have the same fate. I assume things will go back to how they were before the old plates were swapped out. Every year when you renew your plates, prior to the plates being changed, you would get a sticker (marbete) to place on your windshield. However last year, when the actual plates changed, there wasn't a need for a sticker on the windshield to identify your vehicle as one that paid for the yearly plates (road taxes). The new plate itself severed to identify vehicles that paid. This year we will be getting stickers for our windows as usual. All else being equal, you should expect the newer yellow-white plate to last a decade or two.....heheheEscott said:Thanks, any idea when the two tone Yellow ones expire?

They are back to the old 'stick it in the window jobs', just make sure that you insert the small paper bit with your Placa No. written on it.
Need - copy of matricula, plus original for verification - and they do check it thoroughly, copy of your cedula and/or the cedula of the owner. (I use the original bill of sale as too lazy to change the ownership). No problems - just pay your money, grab your sticker and away you go.

No one in line, took about two minutes. BTW, the girl told me that they are only selling a few each day, she thinks it's because people have until AUGUST 3rd to buy them.
No wonder there's no one in line.
