The Road Transport Administration Department (RTAD), under the Ministry of Transport and Communications, will release some announcements beginning 1 October with respect to a permanent ban on vehicle modifications and issuance of Form D slips to owners of modified vehicles so they can import vehicles in place of the old, de-registered vehicles, according to the director of RTAD.

Vehicle modification is not allowed under the vehicle law. Modification refers to changing the body of vehicles which are to be registered. Under the law, requests for registering such vehicles are rejected. Severe actions include de-registration and cancellation of number plates of modified vehicles.

The department has already asked the vehicle owners to get in touch with it. If modified vehicles are found, Form D slips will be issued after de-registration. According to official statistics from the RTAD, the department has found 362 modified vehicles. Currently, more than 1.09 million vehicles are registered across the country, and over 540,000, or half of them are registered in Yangon.
