10 - Year Driver's License ng LTO, ilalabas na; Qualified Ka Ba?



MULA sa limang taong validity ng driver's license, inihayag ngayon ng Land Transporation Office (LTO) na ilalabas nila simula Oktubre sa susunod na taon ang mga driver's license na may 10-taong validity.

Ngunit nilinaw ni LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Edgar Galvante na hindi ito para sa lahat sa halip, para lamang sa mga drivers na may "good standing" o walang record ng anumang uri ng paglabag sa Republic Act 10930 o Land Transportation and Traffic Code o sa iba pang traffic laws, rules and regulations.

Nilinaw din ng ahensiya na ang lisensiyang may 10-taong validity ay para lamang sa mga renewing licenses at hindi para sa mga bagong non-professional at proffesional driver's license na mananatiling may limang taong validity.

Ayon sa LTO, bawat paglabag ng isang driver sa Land Transportation and Traffic Code o sa iba pang traffic laws, rules and regulation ay kabawan sa kanyang tsansang magkaroon ng lisensiyang may 10 taong bisa.
"Yung pagpapalawig ng ating lisensya hanggang 10 years, mangyayari ito starting October 2021 pero hindi lahat ng drivers license possessor ay makaka-enjoy nitong 10-year validity ng license lalo na kung mayroon siyang demerit point" ayon kay Galvante.

Ang Demerit System ay ipinatupad ng LTO simula noong 2019 bilang bahagi ng Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) ng RA 10930 na nilagdaan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte noong 2017 na nagpapalawig sa validity ng driver's license.

Sa ilalim ng sistema, may classification ang mga violation ng isang driver, depende sa bigat nito; 
light — one demerit point
less grave — three demerit point
grave — five demerit point

Sa ilalim ng IRR,  itinuturing na grave violation ang pagmamaneho ng sasakyan para sa isang krimen, pagmamaneho sa isang colurom na sasakyan, pagmamanehong naka-droga o naka-inum at iba pa.

Less grave violation naman ang mga pangalawang paglabag (second offense) sa mga driving laws, parking and obstruction violations at mga paglabag sa mga local ordinances.

Light violations naman ang mga first-time offenses sa mga driving regulations and minor traffic offenses.

Dagdag pa ni Galvante na makikita sa system ng ahensiya kung ilan ang demerit points ng isang driver sakaling magre-renew na ito ng lisensiya.
Sinabi pa ng opisyal na magsisilbing insentibo sa mga drivers na striktong sumusunod sa mga traffic laws and regulation ang "premium" driver's license na may 10 - taong validity o mula 2021 hanggang Oktubre 2031.

Umaasa din ang LTO na makakatulong ito upang maiwasan ang mga road crashers at mga traffic accidents na nagiging sanhi ng pagkasugat o pagkamatay ng mga tao.

Bill Extending Driver's License Validity to 5 Years, Now Approved in Senate!


Starting August, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) will issue the new engraved driver's license.  This news is confirmed by the LTO Executive Director Atty. Romeo Vera Cruz after Senate Committee on Public Services approved the bill extending the validity of driver's license from three years to five.  Senate Committee on Public Services Chairperson Senator Grace Poe said there is no opposition to the proposals to extend the validity of driver's licenses and it is a "done deal."  Poe said while the validity of the driver's license will be extended, its cost will remain the same.

This news is confirmed by the LTO Executive Director Atty. Romeo Vera Cruz after Senate Committee on Public Services approved the bill extending the validity of driver's license from three years to five.

Senate Committee on Public Services Chairperson Senator Grace Poe said there is no opposition to the proposals to extend the validity of driver's licenses and it is a "done deal."

Poe said while the validity of the driver's license will be extended, its cost will remain the same.



The new driver's license will have the following features:
  • Bar code for access control in identifying individuals
  • Bio metrics for proper identification
  • New driver's license will be difficult to fake.
  • Security feature - Card photo will have hidden data where the name and license number will appear with the use of lenses.
  • Cards will be engraved and not just printed since LTO already purchased equipment and will produce the cards.
  • Hologram mark so that traffic violations will be uploaded on the system and the barcodes in the license will reflect the changes immediately.


The LTO has a budget of P526 million for the issuance of driver's license. The agency also assures that license holder will not be paying additional fees.
  • P850 for new license application
  • P652.63 for license renewal

LTO added that the agency is in the process of revising the examination questions for license applications, especially for professional drivers, to ensure that qualified and disciplined drivers are allowed to drive.

Aside from the longer validity, the bill seeks to amend Republic Act No. 136, or the Land Transportation and Traffic Code, as amended by Batas Pambansa Bilang 398, which also seeks a stricter compliance of regulation and stiffer penalties for violators, which would also cover drivers who are not fit to drive.

It was last October 2016 when the LTO started the processing of the 5-year validity of driver's license under Under Administrative Order (AO) No. 2016-034.
