The grace period for renewal of vehicle license plates ends on 28 November. Fines will be levied on those without renewal stickers. According to Diario Libre only 50% of vehicle owners have bought their stickers. According to the Tax Department (DGII) they have collected more than RD$300 million so far. According to spokesperson Germania Montas, people are leaving it for the last minute, and if they go past the 28 November deadline, the renewal will cost an additional RD$500. The official made her statements after a meeting with the Senate Hacienda Commission that is studying a contract for a US$10.5 million loan to be used to strengthen the DGII. Personal experience shows that the renewal can be done in less than five minutes at almost any of the Banco de Reservas offices or any savings and loan office. All that is needed is a photocopy of the registration, a cedula and RD$1,600 if the car is pre- 2002 and RD$2,200 of the car is 2002 or later.
