Land Transportation Management System (LTMS) – How to Apply or Renew a Philippine Driver’s License Online

By Two Monkeys Travel - Contributor June 14th, 2020 Posted in Guide for Filipinos, Philippines Travel Blog, Travel Blog 28 Comments

Good news! The LTO or Land Transportation Office just launched an online portal where you can apply for a student permit or driver’s license through their website. You can quickly apply for a Philippine Driver’s License Online and renew it in the Land Transportation Management System (LTMS). This will be more convenient and helpful, especially under the “new normal.”

Due to the pandemic, many services will be made online to avoid overcrowding in the offices and soon avoid going there. With the LTMS Portal, physical distancing is ensured as there are limited people. This also will have lesser human interventions and hopefully avoid corruption. So far, from June 1 -15, the portal site undergoes pilot testing.

How to Register in the LTMS Website

STEP 1: Go to this website.

STEP 2: Click “Register Now.”

STEP 5: Continue until you are finished with the application. You can get an online appointment and also pay online. However, if you are applying for a new license, you still need to take an LTO examination at their office.

P.S. I’m sorry if it’s only up to here, I can’t access the next steps yet as I need a medical certificate number. I’ll update this ASAP.

Theoretical Exams

If you want to practice for the incoming Driver’s License Exam, then you can also do so online.

STEP 1: Go to this website.

STEP 2: Go to “E-Learning” and select “Theoretical Exams.”

STEP 4: There will be 60 questions for 60 minutes. If you answered correctly, it would turn green. Wrong answers are red, and the correct one is highlighted.

So far, only a few places are open for the Pilot testing of the online portal. They will be opening more in a few weeks. This is very convenient, especially under the new normal so that people who visit the office are limited only.
