History of vehicle registration plates of the Philippines
Philippine vehicle registration plates have a long history. The earliest license plates were introduced around 1812 with the introduction of Legislative Act No. 2159.
In this article, "L" stands for a letter in 1974–1980 and 1981 series plates, "X" stands for an alphanumeric symbol (in 1974–1980 license plates), "P" stands for a prefix (in 1933–1980 license plates), and "D" stands for a number (in all license plates).
Specifications
Early license plates
Most early license plates just showed the serial number, most likely a 4 to 5-digit number and a small box on the left of the serial number which displays the 2-digit year mark, which is written downwards. This continued until 1932.
e.g. 31 44789, 31 stands for the year 1931
1933 series
With the Revised Motor Vehicle Law (Act No. 3992) introduced in 1933, second-generation Philippine license plates were introduced; they can be in the format of "A-B" or "P-B", where A is an area code number (used until 1960), P is a vehicle classification prefix, and B is a 3 to 6-digit number. Sometimes single-letter suffixes were used.
Hyphens were used in separating the numbers; this was later replaced by asterisks in 1938. On the bottom of the license plate are the 2-digit year mark, the place the car is registered, and the word "P.I.", in that order (e.g. "36 MANILA P.I.", 36 stands for 1936). In 1938 the "P.I." was dropped, the place name and the year mark were simply displayed (e.g. MANILA 60, 60 stands for 1960). Prefixes were common in license plates starting in 1938. Sometimes prefixes stand for place names (e.g. "PS" stands for Pasay).
- 1934 – white symbols on green background
- For government vehicles, the plate has a shield outline with the 2-digit year mark (sometimes written downward) inside it, then the word "P.I." below, then a 2 or 3-digit number on the right of the shield outline, and then the word "PHILIPPINES" on the bottom of the license plate.
- 1935 – yellow symbols on a black background with the original (1933) numbering format
- 1936 – red symbols on a white background with original numbering format
- 1937 – white symbols on dark blue background
- 1938 – green symbols on a white background with a revised numbering format and bottom text.
- Instead of "(year) (place) P.I.", the bottom text is displayed as "(place) (year)", sometimes with an asterisk or hyphen dividing the words. Prefixes on license plates came into use.

- 1940 – red symbols on a yellow background with the second numbering format
- 1941 – yellow symbols on blue background with the second numbering format

- Manila license plates omit the "1" prefix from this point on.
- 1944 – white on red

- On some license plates, there were two-year markers (e.g. 46*PHILIPPINES*46).

1970 series
In 1970, Philippine vehicle license plates adapted a numbering format similar to Japanese license plates. It can be in a format of "DD-DD", (from 0–0 to 99–99, sometimes 00 to 09 are used) with single or double-letter suffixes. Most vehicle category prefixes are on the lower-left of the plate. For government vehicles, "RP" is displayed before the number. Year stickers were introduced in 1973.
1974 series
A new license plate format was introduced for the year 1974. The format is "L DDD", "DDD L", "XX DDD" or "DDD XX", with the vehicle classification at the lower-left corner of the plate, followed by the place name (which was changed to "PILIPINAS" in 1977), and the 2-digit year marker. The initial typeface resembles the 1970 series plates. (e.g. G 582, 159 F, FE 358, 576 NK)
- 1977
- The typeface and color schemes were changed.
- 1980
- The color schemes were changed again.
1981 series
In 1981, the vehicle registration plate system has been revised again, taking the format of LLL-DDD. Color-coded year stickers appear for the first time in 1982, based on the license plate's color scheme (notable exceptions are in 1983, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1993). Stickers for vehicle classification appeared in the same year. The byline at the bottom of the plate was displayed as "PILIPINAS" ("Philippines").
- 1988
- The license plates are slightly redesigned.
- Sometimes, an "F" between the "LLL-DDD" serial number indicates a front plate; an "R" indicates a rear plate.
- Public transport plates are usually displayed as yellow symbols on a black background (front and rear plates).
- For other license plates, the rear plates have the inverted colors of the front plates.
- The license plates are slightly redesigned.
- 1994
- The license plates have slightly reverted to the 1981 format; in 1995, most license plates had started the byline displayed as "PHILIPPINES 2000".
- 2000
- Most license plates have the byline displayed as "Angat Pinoy 2004" ("Raising Philippines 2004"), "PILIPINAS", or "PERLAS NG SILANGAN" ("Pearl of the East").
- 2003
- The license plates were completely redesigned, with the background being a blue/white/green gradient with a picture of the Rizal Monument in the center.
- A few license plates have the byline displayed as "MATATAG NA REPUBLIKA" ("Strong Republic"); most have it displayed as "PILIPINAS" or "PERLAS NG SILANGAN".
- Some public transport license plates have a blue/yellow/green gradient background with the Rizal Monument picture in the center (mostly with 2003 subseries letterings) or a golden yellow background with the lettering similar to 1987 subseries license plates.
- 2005
- 3-year validation stickers appear for the first time.
- 2009
- For NCR Plates, The letters, "I","O" & "Q", will display either in the middle or end.
2014 series
In January 2013, Land Transportation Office ventures the plate standardization project with safety features that will have bar codes, and 1981 series are now unavailable. LTO will issue new format for light motor vehicles LLL-DDDD and for motorcycles LL-DDDDD.[1]

I, O and Q were originally excluded to avoid confusion with the numbers "1" & "0". But with the exhaustion of the "Z" series in 2009, they were used by reverting to the old "N" series. A new serial scheme was implemented using these characters, instead of the third letter coming into series (e.g. after ZAA-999 has been reached, ZAB-101) the middle letter is the one being replaced (e.g. after NAI-999 series has been exhausted, NBI-101 will follow.) These include combinations for public utility vehicles (middle letters V-Y) and trailers (middle letters U and Z), which were repurposed for private vehicles. After all the possible combinations with I, O and Q as the third letter for the same starting letter have been used, I, O and Q are used as middle letters and the third letter is being replaced (e.g. After NIA-999 has been used, NIB-101 will follow), if the reverted letter is exhausted (e.g. After PQZ-999 has been used, TAI-101 will follow). During 2013, some letter combinations (e.g. FJB-101) were also used in Metro Manila.
