All registration numbers that were successfully bidded online are required to be registered to a vehicle within 12 months from the date of the offer letter issued by JPJ.

Hanif then explained that any registration numbers not sold through the online bidding process will be offered to the public for them to purchase at minimum prices.

Members of the public interested in getting the remaining registration numbers can make a deal at the state JPJ office, or other branches.
