  • PH driver’s license validity to be extended for 5 years starting October

    • The Land Transportation Office (LTO) will be implementing the 5-year validity of driver’s license in the Philippines which will start in October 2016.

     

    License

    Philippine driver’s license for non-professional

     

    This implementation is in accordance by President Rodrigo Duterte’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) wherein he stated that he wants to lessen queues in the said government agency.

    The implementation was made by LTO chief Edgar Galvante, where professional and non-professional licenses will have 3-year validity and shall expire on the driver’s birthday. This new rule will start first in the National Capital Region (NCR) and will eventually spread out to other regions in the country.

    However, this 5-year validity for driver’s license is not applicable to student permits and new licenses.

    Are you in favor of this new rule? Comment your thoughts below!
