THE Land Transportation Office (LTO) on Wednesday told the public that information and a video circulating on social media about new driver’s license rules for senior citizens starting March 1 are not true.
The agency said claims about new medical requirements, a stricter renewal process, or changes in the validity period for elderly drivers beginning March 1 are unofficial and incorrect.
The LTO stressed that it has not issued any directive or memorandum imposing new or additional rules for the acquisition and renewal of driver’s licenses by senior citizens starting March 1, 2026.
It clarified that existing policies and processes remain in place. The agency urged the public to verify information through official sources before sharing it.
The LTO also reminded motorists to rely only on announcements posted on its official channels to avoid misinformation.
