Vehicle owners who are not using their vehicle for a period of time can apply to the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to place their vehicle under lay-up status for up to 1 year (and can be renewed yearly for up to 3 consecutive years). During the period, where the vehicle is laid-up, the vehicle cannot be driven on public roads and is required to be garaged at its reported garage address. Please inform LTA in writing prior to any change of garage address, as it is an offence not to do so. If the vehicle is not re-licensed by the third year, the vehicle will be deregistered at the end of the third year.
