My New Driver’s License<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Driver\u2019s License renewal for 10 years validity in the Philippines is legit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of February 2022, I had my try on renewing my driver\u2019s license non-professional. Having read a post in Facebook of someone I know, he was able to renew his driver\u2019s license and also was qualified for a 10 years validity. With his post, he also explained and shared his experience on the application for his driver\u2019s license renewal at the main LTO branch at Pacdal, Baguio City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas for me? I tried the LTO\u2019s portal at Porta Vaga Mall, Baguio City. And it was pretty quick! Of course provided that everything is ready and there are no long line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, let me share what my friend in facebook shared as the requirements for renewing one\u2019s driver\u2019s license. His post was:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25 items lang ito<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to renew \"\ud83d\udc47\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\u2611\ufe0f\" 1. Get a medical certificate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\u2611\ufe0f\" 2. Dapat nakapag register kana din online sa https:\/\/portal.lto.gov.ph\/ords\/f?p=1200:HOME:116425943499590<\/a>::::: dahil andito lahat ng detail ng drivers license mo at dito ka din mag e-exam about ( Comprehensive Drivers Education)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ctto<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So from this post, I went directly and registered in LTO\u2019s portal: https:\/\/portal.lto.gov.ph\/ords\/f?p=1200:HOME<\/a>::::::<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I too took the CDE (Comprehensive Drivers Education) Exam, found under the \u201cE-learning\u201d menu and alas! It was indeed easy. I think it was an exam to test your logic.. ehe!? Although some questions maybe not applicable and therefore can\u2019t be answered correctly. Example? The question was about motorcycles, and I have not driven nor have tried to learn about motorcycles. So simply put, my answer was incorrect. Furthermore, the passing rate was very giving! So I passed!  And the certificate was sent to my email and can also be found in the registered account in the portal. Details also about the driver can also be viewed in the portal. And therefore one could also check if the driver has committed traffic violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you have no violations, you are qualified for a 10-year validity driver\u2019s license. If not, 5 years validity only. And, if you failed the exam? Maybe disqualified? I\u2019m uncertain with this situation. Given that the exam is too easy. I am uncertain as well if you could re-take the exam after failing, but I\u2019m guessing you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So now that I was able to comply all conditions except for one condition, which I couldn\u2019t grasp or understand:  The \u201c60 days bago ung expiration date (early renew)\u201d or in english \u201c60 days before the expiration date\u201d. Having understood the instruction, I went to Porta Vaga I think \u201cmore than\u201d 60 days before the expiration date. Let\u2019s just say 60 + 7 or 8 days. I was told that I should come back on \u201cblank\u201d (stated date)\u2026  which is kind of probably the 60th<\/sup> day before the expiration day of my license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, OK\u2026 Didn\u2019t asked further and to clarify the \u201c60 days before the expiration date.\u201d So, sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They instead advised me to get my medical certificate already which I did. And I paid P450.00 for that. Oh by the way, from the post it said it was P500.00. So I got 50 pesos cheaper. Ehe!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh yeah, the LTO portal in Porta Vaga is found somewhere in the Second Floor \/ level. On the same level are Driving Schools where one can enroll I suppose. On one stall is an accredited medical clinic that provides the medical certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh yes, another requirement is a filled-up ADL (Application for Driver\u2019s License) form. And an interesting one that happened is that the LTO portal \/ stall was unable to provide me one, instead they asked me that the clinic would provide one for me. But after having been tested and provided with the medical certificate, they (the clinic) instructed me to just buy one in the driving school near them. Which I did and it cost me P5.00 for a photocopy of the ADL form. Alas, I forgot to check the LTO website if they allow downloading of the form. And when I did check, they indeed provide a colored copy. See below photos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

here’s the given photocopy from the Driving School:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
