marbetes

[granca]

Can´t find the word in the dictionary nor that of WordReference. I know it has something to do with car tax in the Dominican Republic, but what does it mean? The Phrase is - renueva tus marbetes -.

 

[aurilla]

It's a " road tax sticker", which has to be renewed annually. It's required in Puerto Rico, too.

Gracias & thanks , Aurilla. Does this word come defined as ¨proper¨ spanish or is it among other places a dominicanism?

 

[aurilla]

"marbete" is a proper name. It's means "sticker".
