BRTA extends deadline for number plates on motorcycles

Motorcycle owners have been given additional time to install manual registration number plates on the front of their vehicles, as the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) has extended the deadline to December 31.

The deadline was initially set for November 15 but has now been extended by more than six weeks, according to a public notice posted on BRTA's official Facebook page on Wednesday (November 11).

In the notice, BRTA said displaying registration numbers on both the front and rear of motorcycles is mandatory under the Road Transport Act, 2018, and the Road Transport Rules, 2022.


●Registration numbers must be displayed in black Bengali letters and numerals against a white background.
●No decorative elements or additional designs are permitted on the plates.
●For motorcycles other than scooters, the registration mark must be displayed on a single horizontal line, for example: Dhaka Metro-La-11-1229.

Motorcycle owners have been advised to comply with the revised deadline and ensure that their front number plates meet all the specifications set by the transport authority.
