How to Check If You Have an NCAP Violation
Something for your peace of mind.
Published on Jun 16, 2025
(SPOT.ph) You might not notice the cameras but they're definitely watching. One wrong U-turn or stray into a PUV lane could cost you. To avoid getting caught off guard, the Metropolitan Manila Development
Authority (MMDA) is now making it possible for us to check for violations under the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) through a dedicated website.
Simply visit mayhulika.mmda.gov.ph using any
device. Once on the site, all you need to do is input two things: your license plate number and your Motor Vehicle (MV) file number. You can find the MV on the Official Receipt/Certificate of Registration
(OR/CR) of the vehicle. If you’re wondering why the extra step, it’s actually
to fix privacy issues that came up with the previous version of the site.
"The inclusion of the MV file
number is an added security and protection so that only the vehicle owners can
securely check their violations under NCAP,” MMDA Chairman Don Artes said.
Click “Check” and the website will instantly let you know if you’ve been caught violating any traffic rule under NCAP. If the website says “No Record Found,” try entering your conduction
sticker and MV file number instead—this combination tends to give more accurate
results, according to the MMDA.

A heads-up though: Even if the
site shows no violations, it doesn’t mean you’re completely in the clear—it
only covers NCAP violations on major thoroughfares like EDSA, C5, Quezon Avenue, among others. For everything else, like traffic enforcer-issued tickets, you’ll need to check with the MMDA Head Office, the Land Transportation Office (LTO), or
your local government.
What happens if you do have a NCAP violation?
Got a hit? You’ll know for sure once you get
a Notice of Violation (NOV) by mail—or email, if requested—soon enough. Check out our guide on how and where to pay for NCAP violations
However, if you disagree with the
violation, you have the right to contest it within 10 working days from the date
you received the NOV. You can do this by heading to the Traffic Adjudication
Division on the 11th floor of the MMDA New Building or by filing your appeal
online through the same “May Huli Ka” website.
To make the process even easier
moving forward, Artes said the MMDA is planning several upgrades to the website.
These include access to more detailed violation information, including photo
and video evidence, date and time, type of violation, and exact fine amounts.
The MMDA is also working on a real-time notification system with SMS and email
alerts, plus the ability for those managing multiple vehicles or fleets to
register them under a single account.
