| Boilerpipe Text | Get ready to secure your perfect car plate number through the SNY VRN bidding exercise. This is your chance to bid for that unique and meaningful number you’ve had your eye on.
If you’ve already picked out the number you want, we’re here to help you through the process. From bidding requirements to payment methods and tips on how much you should bid for your preferred car plates, our comprehensive guide has everything you need to get started.
SNY VRN Bidding Schedule
The SNY Main Bid Exercise for car plate numbers will open on Friday, 11 April 2025 at 1:00am and will close on Wednesday, 16 April 2025 at 4:30pm.
If your bid is successful, you’ll receive an email notification. The bidding results will also be available on the OneMotoring website from Wednesday, 23 April 2025 at 12:00pm.
You may begin using your newly secured vehicle registration number once the results are released.
VRN Bidding Requirements
To place your SNY VRN bid, ensure you have the following details ready:
Up to three Vehicle Registration Numbers (VRNs) you’d like to bid for, arranged in your order of preference.
The NRIC/FIN/Company, Business, or Association Registration Number of the intended vehicle owner.
A valid email address to receive the payment receipt and bidding results.
A contact number for communication purposes.
Your bank account information (if paying via eNETS Debit) for refunding unsuccessful bids.
If you’re using a Cashier’s Order and need a proxy to collect it for an unsuccessful bid, prepare their full name and NRIC number, or provide a mailing address for return.

.
How Much Should You Bid?
Just like other bidding exercises by the LTA, the minimum bid amount for SNY VRNs is $1,000.
There’s no universal “perfect” bid amount—it all depends on your strategy and how much the number means to you. Here are some tips to help you decide:
Research Market Prices: Look up similar plate numbers through
our website
or other marketplaces. This gives you a rough benchmark for how much others might be willing to bid.
Evaluate Your Urgency: How badly do you want that number? If it’s important to secure it now, consider bidding more aggressively to avoid missing out and waiting another 3–4 months for the next bidding round.
Consider the Rarity and Appeal: Highly desirable combinations (like repeated digits, sequences, or lucky numbers) attract more competition. Be prepared to bid higher for those.
Know the Demand: Single- and double-digit plates are more exclusive and usually command higher bids. However, if your chosen number is meaningful only to you, you may not need to go as high.
SNY VRN Bidding Payment Methods
A non-refundable service fee of $18.53 (inclusive of GST) is charged for each bid submitted.
For bid amounts up to $100,000, payment can be made via eNETS Debit, using internet banking accounts from DBS/POSB, OCBC, Standard Chartered Bank, or UOB.
For bids exceeding $100,000, payment must be made via eNETS Debit or Cashier’s Order(s).
Once your payment is successfully processed, you’ll receive an e-receipt at the email address provided during submission.
Using Your SNY VRN
Your successfully bid SNY VRN will be valid for 1 year, starting from 12:00 PM on the day after bidding results are released. You can apply it in one of two ways:
For New Vehicles: Let your car dealer know you’re bidding for a specific plate number. If your bid is successful, inform your dealer so they can register your new vehicle using your SNY VRN.
For Existing Vehicles:
Log in with Singpass at
OneMotoring
, then navigate to:
Digital Services > Manage Registered Vehicle Numbers to replace your current VRN.
A replacement fee of $327 applies.
After the change is approved in the system, don’t forget to update your physical license plates within 3 calendar days. You can order them from
CarPlateMaker.sg
.
Extending the Validity of Your SNY VRN
If you don’t use your SNY VRN within its one-year validity period, it will expire and be returned to the LTA. However, you can extend the validity for an additional six months before it expires.
To do so, a $1,000 extension fee applies, along with an administrative charge of $42.51 (inclusive of GST). You’ll typically receive reminders when your VRN is nearing expiry.
To request an extension, log in with your Singpass at
OneMotoring
and go to: Digital Services > Extend Vehicle Number Validity.
For Unsuccessful SNY VRN Bidders
Didn’t win your bid? Don’t worry—your bid amount will be fully refunded.
If you paid via eNETS Debit, the refund will be processed back to the Interbank GIRO account you provided. If that transfer fails, a cheque will be mailed to your registered address.
If you used a Cashier’s Order, it will be returned according to your preferred option chosen during the bidding submission.
Still looking for a unique car plate? Skip the wait and check out available numbers on our marketplace at
CarPlateMart.sg/shop
. We offer a wide range of VRNs, from rare and unique combinations to vintage collector plates. Browse, negotiate, and purchase easily—no bidding required.

Get ready to secure your perfect car plate number through the SNY VRN bidding exercise. This is your chance to bid for that unique and meaningful number you’ve had your eye on.
If you’ve already picked out the number you want, we’re here to help you through the process. From bidding requirements to payment methods and tips on how much you should bid for your preferred car plates, our comprehensive guide has everything you need to get started.
## SNY VRN Bidding Schedule
The SNY Main Bid Exercise for car plate numbers will open on Friday, 11 April 2025 at 1:00am and will close on Wednesday, 16 April 2025 at 4:30pm.
If your bid is successful, you’ll receive an email notification. The bidding results will also be available on the OneMotoring website from Wednesday, 23 April 2025 at 12:00pm.
You may begin using your newly secured vehicle registration number once the results are released.
## VRN Bidding Requirements
To place your SNY VRN bid, ensure you have the following details ready:
- Up to three Vehicle Registration Numbers (VRNs) you’d like to bid for, arranged in your order of preference.
- The NRIC/FIN/Company, Business, or Association Registration Number of the intended vehicle owner.
- A valid email address to receive the payment receipt and bidding results.
- A contact number for communication purposes.
- Your bank account information (if paying via eNETS Debit) for refunding unsuccessful bids.
- If you’re using a Cashier’s Order and need a proxy to collect it for an unsuccessful bid, prepare their full name and NRIC number, or provide a mailing address for return.
For a full step-by-step guide on placing a bid, check out our detailed article [here](https://carplatemart.sg/articles/2022/11/ultimate-guide-for-car-plate-bidding/).
## How Much Should You Bid?
Just like other bidding exercises by the LTA, the minimum bid amount for SNY VRNs is \$1,000.
There’s no universal “perfect” bid amount—it all depends on your strategy and how much the number means to you. Here are some tips to help you decide:
- Research Market Prices: Look up similar plate numbers through [our website](https://carplatemart.sg/new-numbers) or other marketplaces. This gives you a rough benchmark for how much others might be willing to bid.
- Evaluate Your Urgency: How badly do you want that number? If it’s important to secure it now, consider bidding more aggressively to avoid missing out and waiting another 3–4 months for the next bidding round.
- Consider the Rarity and Appeal: Highly desirable combinations (like repeated digits, sequences, or lucky numbers) attract more competition. Be prepared to bid higher for those.
- Know the Demand: Single- and double-digit plates are more exclusive and usually command higher bids. However, if your chosen number is meaningful only to you, you may not need to go as high.
## SNY VRN Bidding Payment Methods
A non-refundable service fee of \$18.53 (inclusive of GST) is charged for each bid submitted.
For bid amounts up to \$100,000, payment can be made via eNETS Debit, using internet banking accounts from DBS/POSB, OCBC, Standard Chartered Bank, or UOB.
For bids exceeding \$100,000, payment must be made via eNETS Debit or Cashier’s Order(s).
Once your payment is successfully processed, you’ll receive an e-receipt at the email address provided during submission.
## Using Your SNY VRN
Your successfully bid SNY VRN will be valid for 1 year, starting from 12:00 PM on the day after bidding results are released. You can apply it in one of two ways:
- For New Vehicles: Let your car dealer know you’re bidding for a specific plate number. If your bid is successful, inform your dealer so they can register your new vehicle using your SNY VRN.
- For Existing Vehicles:
Log in with Singpass at [OneMotoring](https://onemotoring.lta.gov.sg/), then navigate to:
Digital Services \> Manage Registered Vehicle Numbers to replace your current VRN.
A replacement fee of \$327 applies.
After the change is approved in the system, don’t forget to update your physical license plates within 3 calendar days. You can order them from [CarPlateMaker.sg](https://carplatemaker.sg/).
## Extending the Validity of Your SNY VRN
If you don’t use your SNY VRN within its one-year validity period, it will expire and be returned to the LTA. However, you can extend the validity for an additional six months before it expires.
To do so, a \$1,000 extension fee applies, along with an administrative charge of \$42.51 (inclusive of GST). You’ll typically receive reminders when your VRN is nearing expiry.
To request an extension, log in with your Singpass at [OneMotoring](https://onemotoring.lta.gov.sg/) and go to: Digital Services \> Extend Vehicle Number Validity.
## For Unsuccessful SNY VRN Bidders
Didn’t win your bid? Don’t worry—your bid amount will be fully refunded.
- If you paid via eNETS Debit, the refund will be processed back to the Interbank GIRO account you provided. If that transfer fails, a cheque will be mailed to your registered address.
- If you used a Cashier’s Order, it will be returned according to your preferred option chosen during the bidding submission.
