3. The serial number label (SN No.) should be in red color, while the digits should be in black for the owner’s duplicate.
4. The last two digits of the page number in the upper right hand side should correspond to the last two digits of the TCT number.
5. The red/blue border should be slightly embossed and not flatly printed.
6. For e-Titles, all entries should be computer encoded and printed, unlike the old versions which were manually type-written
7. The seal on the lower left hand side should be dark red and does not blot when a litle water check is done.
