Mobility scooters will be affixed with a Registration Mark (RM) and Identification Mark (IM) during registration.

Should you require a replacement of IM due to wear and tear, you may approach a signcraft shop for fabrication of a replacement IM. The cost of IM replacement will be borne by the owner. Visit the following link for a list of signcraft shops where you can fabricate the Identification Mark.

Below are the allowable display configurations for IM:

The IMs shall measure 85mm (width) by 95mm (height) and shall display the registration number in either black characters on a yellow background or white characters on a black background: 

• Total space taken by each character must be 35mm high and 25mm wide. Every part of each character must be 5mm broad
• The space between adjoining characters is 5mm, and characters must be at least 5mm away from the edges of the identification mark
• For letters and digits displayed in 2 rows, the space of the characters between the 2 rows is 5mm

Before transferring ownership, existing owner can check that the new owner has a valid Certificate of Medical Need (or is exempted from the requirement).

1. Initiate transfer of device ownership to the new owner via OneMotoring by logging in with Singpass, and key in the new owner's NRIC and Date of Birth. The transfer will only be successfully initiated if the new owner is eligible to use a mobility scooter.
   
   
2. For new owners with Singpass, they will receive an SMS notification to log in to OneMotoring to accept the transfer within 5 calendar days. Acceptance of transfer can only be completed after the system verifies that the new owner is eligible to use a mobility scooter. After the new owner accepts the transfer on OneMotoring, the transfer will be approved immediately.
   
   
3. For new owners without Singpass, the existing owner must initiate transfer on OneMotoring, and submit a FormSG to LTA to authorise the transfer. 

• The FormSG must include the new owner’s details and new owner’s authorisation of transfer of ownership. 
• After initiation of transfer on OneMotoring and submission of FormSG to LTA, the transfer will be approved by LTA within 5 calendar days (if the new owner is eligible to use mobility scooter). 
• The transfer of ownership will be rejected by LTA if the new owner does not have a Certificate of Medical Need or is not exempted from the requirement.
