About to trade in my old car for a new one. The new one is a 2014 Kia Sportage.

1. The new car has been registered this year when I checked via LTO's SMS verification system.

2. But when I checked the registration certificate, iba yung year nya.
2017 yung year sa certificate AND 2018 naman yung year sa receipt and LTO SMS.

3. The plate number in the certificate also looks weird.
- Walang letters, only numbers. Every other detail in the certicate and receipt matches though.

Here's the screenshot for 2 and 3: Imgur: The magic of the Internet


Can anyone please explain the date and plate number difference? Is this legit?

Thanks in advance for your help!
