It is reported that newly registered vehicle owners have been facing serious inconvenience for almost five months due to the delay in issuing vehicle number plates. Accordingly, it is reported that 165,000 newly registered vehicle owners will have to wait for at least another three months to receive their vehicle number plates.
This situation has arisen due to the cancellation of the contract of the previous number plate supplier last April, problems related to the new tender process and the delay in confirming the security features. Sources also said that the process of finding a new supplier has been delayed due to technical and procurement problems in the tender process.
The new number plate includes 7 special security features, and the problems encountered in checking them are reported to be the main reason for the delay in issuing the number plates.
