The Department of Taxes (DGII) reported over the weekend that just 47% of car and truck owners have renewed their "marbete" stickers for 2009-2010. Half a million have yet to get the annual permit for their vehicle to use the nation's streets and highways. Today is the deadline for getting the sticker without having to pay a RD$600 penalty.
So far, 494,277 people have complied with the requirement.
Of the total, 32,000 purchased the sticker over the Internet. The rest queued up at savings and loan institutions, Banco de Reservas, ADEMI bank and other places. The process was fast and requires a photocopy of the vehicle registration and a photocopy of the owner's ID (passport or cedula), and, of course, the money. Long queues are expected today, for those who have left this task for the last minute.
The fees are RD$1,200 for vehicles from 2004 or earlier and RD$2,200 for vehicles from 2005 on.
