THE Land Transportation Office will start releasing in Metro Manila driver’s licenses and conductor’s licenses with a validity of five years starting Oct. 8.
The expansion of the validity of the driver and conductor’s licenses was the result of the call of President Rodrigo Duterte to increase their validity period from three years to five years, LTO chief Edgar Galvante said in issuing LTO Administrative Order 2016-034.
After Metro Manila, licenses will be released in other LTO offices across the country on Nov. 8.
Applicants for new licenses will be charged P100 as an application fee, P67.63 as computer fee, P585 for the license itself, and another P67.63 as a computer fee. For renewal of licenses, the applicant must pay P585 for license fee and P67.63 for computer fee.
