Philippines Driver License

No more wasted time standing in line all day. We make it easy and painless for you.

If you decided to get your Philippines Driver License on your own, you would have to plan for a long day at your nearest Land Transportation Office (LTO) or Driver License Office.

There you would find yourself among a hundred or so people all jockeying to get to the front of the line to have their Driver License application looked at and approved.

If you arrived after lunch, most of the people that are in front of you will have been there since early morning.

You will notice too that there are not really any signs or instructions directing you where to go or how to follow the driver license application process.

The Philippine Driver License Fixer

Then there are the “Fixers”. Fixers are the guys who help you with getting your Philippines Driver License for a fee.

They love to see a foreigner coming and will offer to help you get your Philippines Driver License for what seems like a small fee, but that fee increases the farther you go along in the process.

You see 'Fixers' tend to invent that there is some type of problem with your driver license application and will tell you “don’t worry, I will get it all sorted out for you”, then they disappear into a back office.

Thirty (30) minutes later your 'Fixer' will reappear, usually from a cigarette break out back, saying “they fixed the problem”. This will happen a few times and they will add a nice fee each time for helping you with the sticky problems.

Yeah right! There was never a problem in the first place and they just do this to justify adding more fees!

Philippines Driver's License and Vehicle Registration

Instead of going through all that hassle on your own and possibly getting approached by one of the high cost Fixers, we can help you get your Philippine Driver License in a much simpler way and for a flat fee.

We can escort you and take you quickly through the entire process, bypassing the long lines and the Fixers.

You will receive your Philippine Driver License within two hours, compared to all day if you did it on your own.

Important Philippines Driver Information

In the Philippines everyone (well almost everyone) drives on the right side of the road. The steering wheel is on the left. This might be a bit confusing for our British friends =)

Distances and speeds are in Kilometers (Km) and Kilometers Per Hour (KPH). One Km equals .6 of a Mile. So one Mile equals 1.6 Km. Most the cars in the Philippines display KPH and some display both

If you plan to be in the Philippines for more than 90 days and you want to drive, you will need to obtain a Philippines Driver License (foreign driver licenses are honored for the first 90 days of stay only)

Take Our Driver Test

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) issues all driver licenses. They have offices located throughout the country. Some are very busy. Some are not

The Philippines has two types of driver licenses. The Non-Professional License is for the average everyday driver. The Professional License is to drive big trucks, buses, jeepneys, etc

If you have a foreign driver license which is not in English, you will need to have it first ‘officially translated’ into English by the Embassy or Consulate of the country where the license was issued from before going to LTO. There are many Foreign Embassies and Consulates in the Philippines. No other types of English translation are accepted at LTO. Only the ‘officially translated’ version through your Embassy will be accepted

If your foreign license is expired at the time the application, you will have to take both a written examination and a road test just to verify you can still drive

If you do not hold a foreign driver license, you will need to get a Student Driver Permit first and drive for a minimum of one (1) month before applying for a non-professional permanent driver license or five (5) months for a professional driver license. There is a catch though. You must show proof that you are going to stay in the country for a minimum of five (5) months when applying.

You can upgrade to a Professional Driver License, but must have a minimum of four (4) months of driving experience either on a current foreign driver license or non-professional Philippine Driver License.

Philippine Driver License's are valid for three (3) years.

If you lose your Philippine License, you must get a notarized Affidavit of Loss before going to LTO to get a replacement.
