The 3rd phase of Digital Registration Plates rollout through the Ministry of Works and Transport is set for January 6, 2025.
Below are some issues you need to know. Phase 1 was the fitment of plates for government vehicles and so far 2082 units have been fixed with digital registration plates.
Phase 2, was the fitment of plates on motorcycles, and as of 18th December 2024, 7824 units had been fitted with digital registration plates.
WHAT IS NEW?
Works and Transport was included on the ASYCUDA Admin selectivity to tag entries. Fitment of registration plates is to be done by the new service provider before the exit of each unit. Digital verification of all units will be done coupled with the fitment of the registration plate. The price of the new registration plate is UGX 714,300/= Motor vehicles imported with taxes cleared at the ports of entry at Mombasa and Dar-es-Salaam will be allowed to exit from the CFSs for fitment and registration to be done at the border entry points of Malaba and Mutukula. For vehicles that are warehoused, the vehicles will be declared, get assessments for taxes, make the necessary payments including the payment for registration plates and lastly book for the plate fitment with JSCGS. Plate fitment will be done at the bonded warehouse where the units are deposited. Registration of the vehicle is completed by fitment of the plates, allowing vehicle owners and agents to print logbooks and enable exit of the unit.
NOTE
The new digital registration plates for both motor vehicles and motorcycles will cost UGX 714,300/=
However, the replacement of the current regime of plates will cost UGX 150,000 for vehicles, and UGX 50,000/= for motorcycles.
