Motorcycle Registration: Anatt’s Latest Measures Before Uncollected Plates Are Destroyed

This destruction will take place after October 15. The announcement was confirmed by Laure Togbé, Anatt’s Littoral Regional Manager, speaking to Matin Libre Télévision.

« Since 2023, we have launched the operation “Zero Unregistered Motorcycles in Benin.” We have multiplied our information channels: media, social networks, spots in local languages, visits to town halls and district offices. Despite all this, the response has been weak », explained Laure Togbé.

A first deadline had been set in 2024, later pushed back to December of the same year. But this time, the agency is standing firm: « Anatt has truly decided to destroy the plates on October 15, 2025 », she insisted.

Simplified retrieval procedure

For users who have misplaced their deposit documents, they now just need to go to an Anatt branch with their motorcycle. « The agent will enter the surname, given name and chassis number into the database to find the registration number. The plate is then attached on the spot, free of charge, » the official clarified.

Users more familiar with digital tools can also check themselves online. By entering their chassis number on the site www.moto.anatt.bj, they can generate their registration certificate, then go to an agency to pick up the plate and the vehicle registration document (carte grise).

Digital innovations

Laure Togbé also announced innovations aimed at streamlining procedures. From now on, applicants are notified by SMS or e-mail as soon as their plate is available.

She also reminded that a registration certificate given by a dealer after buying a motorcycle is not enough: « This document only allows you to go to an Anatt agency to obtain the vehicle registration document (carte grise), » she explained.

This new organization aims to reduce queues, limit additional costs and simplify registration procedures.
