The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has rolled out new digital tools to help motorists stay informed about their No-Contact Apprehension Program (NCAP) violations. With the launch of the mayhulika.mmda.gov.ph website and an upcoming dedicated mobile app, tracking and managing traffic infractions is set to become more transparent and convenient.
This guide will walk you through how to utilize these platforms effectively.
The MMDA’s new website is your first stop for quickly checking if your vehicle has incurred any NCAP violations. It’s designed for straightforward access and now boasts enhanced privacy features.
Purpose: To check for existing NCAP violations, view basic details, and initiate the payment or contestation process.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Access the Website:
- Open your web browser (on a desktop computer, laptop, or mobile device).
- Type the official URL: mayhulika.mmda.gov.ph and press Enter.
2. Enter Your Vehicle Information:
- On the website’s interface, you will find fields to input your vehicle details.
- Plate or Conduction Number: Accurately type in your vehicle’s license plate number (e.g., ABC 1234) or conduction sticker number (e.g., A1B2C3).
- MV File Number: This is a crucial new security feature. Locate your MV File number on your vehicle’s Official Receipt (OR) and Certificate of Registration (CR). This additional layer protects your privacy and ensures compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), preventing unauthorized access to your violation records.
3. Check for Violations:
- After entering the required information, click the «Check» or «Search» button (or its equivalent).
- The system will then query its database for any recorded NCAP violations associated with your vehicle.
4. Review Violation Details (If Any):
- If a violation is found, the website will display basic details of the infraction. This typically includes the date, time, location, and type of violation.
- You will then be presented with options.
5. Choose Your Action – Contest or Pay:
- To Pay the Fine: The website will provide instructions or links to the MMDA’s official online payment channels or direct you to authorized physical payment centers.
- To Contest the Violation: Information on how to initiate the contestation process will be available. This usually involves submitting a formal appeal with supporting documents within a specified timeframe.
Always ensure you are on the official MMDA website (.gov.ph) to avoid phishing attempts.
Keep your OR and CR handy for the MV File number.
Check regularly, especially if you frequently traverse NCAP-covered areas, to address violations promptly and avoid accumulating penalties.

The MMDA is developing a dedicated mobile application, expected to roll out within the next one to two months. This app is designed to offer a more comprehensive and interactive experience for motorists.
Purpose: To provide real-time violation notifications, detailed evidence, direct contesting capabilities, and streamlined management for multiple vehicles.
Text Message Notifications:
- Once launched, the MMDA plans to send direct text message notifications to vehicle owners when an NCAP violation is recorded against their vehicle. This means you won’t always have to proactively check the website; an alert will come to you.
Video Clips of Violations:
- The app will provide direct access to video clips of your actual road-safety violations. This visual evidence can help you understand the infraction clearly.
- Benefit: Clear proof of violation, aiding in compliance or preparing a strong contestation.
Direct Contesting within the App:
- Unlike the website which directs you on how to contest, the app will allow motorists to directly submit their contestation requests and upload supporting documents within the platform itself.
- Benefit: Streamlined and convenient process for appealing a ticket.
Appointment Scheduling for Contestation:
- If you need to meet with MMDA representatives for your contestation, the app will have a feature to schedule these appointments directly.
- Benefit: Avoids long queues and ensures aconfirmed slot for your discussion with the agency.
Multi-Vehicle Management for Fleet Operators/Motorists:
- For individuals or fleet operators managing multiple cars, the app will allow you to enroll all your vehicles under a single account. This means you can track violations for your entire fleet from one centralized dashboard.
