DMT's Own Fraud Probe Into Vehicle Registrations — Trust Your RC Book Now?
On Oct 30, a data probe was launched into the Department of Motor Traffic, with the Anti-Corruption Unit and university computing specialists digging through its digital records. The department already gets over 25 complaints a day about fraudulent registration certificates, including cases where engine and chassis numbers from illegally imported vehicles were stitched onto existing plate numbers, and 'vacant' numbers issued for vehicles that should never have existed. A few DMT staff were arrested earlier this year over fake documents and illegal registrations.
One side says this is finally someone checking the checkers, and every buyer deserves to know their RC book isn't sitting on a ghost registration somewhere in the chain. The other side says a probe with no deadline and no promise of public findings is just noise, and nothing changes until someone at the actual counter loses their job or faces court.
Has anyone here had a registration or revenue licence questioned over a document mismatch? Was DMT easy to sort it out with, or a nightmare?
