Searching for traffic violations easier with new NCAP portal feature

MANILA – The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will add a new search option on its MayHuliKa portal starting Aug. 24, allowing motorists to check all violation records of a vehicle under the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP).

In an advisory on Friday, the MMDA said motorists may search using either plate number and ticket number, or plate number and motor vehicle file number.

The first option is for those who have received a notice of violation or traffic ticket, while the second allows users to view all NCAP violation records of a vehicle.

The agency said the new feature makes verifying traffic violations easier, more secure and more accessible.

The MMDA reminded the public to be wary of fake text messages, emphasizing that "MMDA_NCAP" is the official and legitimate sender of text notifications.

“Legitimate messages do not contain links. Any text message with a link is a scam,” it said.

Evidence of NCAP violations can only be viewed on the web portal mayhulika.mmda.gov.ph or through the eGovPH app by searching for MMDA.

In July, the MayHuliKa online violation-checking system logged more than 15 million site visits and 2.7 million unique users. It has since been integrated into the eGovPH Super App.

The integration, launched by the MMDA and the Department of Information and Communications Technology, provides motorists with a centralized platform to check and settle traffic violations.

Unresolved violations are flagged in a motorist's record with the Land Transportation Office and can prevent the renewal of vehicle registration. (PNA)
