The Land Transportation Office on Sunday processed hundreds of driver’s license renewals for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Japan through its online system during the national government’s Serbisyo Caravan in Osaka.
“Our online driver’s license renewal was a success. It was truly heartwarming to not only see our fellow countrymen supporting this program, but also their gratitude that the process is now fast and convenient,” said acting LTO chief Greg Pua Jr.
Pua said the LTO remains committed to accelerating digital transactions in line with the Bagong Pilipinas vision. He added that the agency plans to expand its online services to the Middle East, the United States, and Europe.
The initiative follows President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s directive for the Department of Transportation to transition government services to digital platforms. The LTO first launched the online renewal program in Taiwan in 2024.
Filipino applicants may also opt to use accredited courier services. From application to delivery of the license card to a designated foreign address, the process takes about three to five days.
