3. How Do I Get An International License

mbannist Post authorplease be more specific Sammy. There is no way to obtain a drivers license from overseas except under the following circumstances:a)you sat the test passed it and provided all your biometrics, but left before the license was issued. This is very rare as the LTO now has good supplies of blank licenses.b) You are already the holder of a Philippines license and it requires renewal before you will be able to return to the Philippines.If you can indicate if you are in either of these groups, then I can offer you some direction.Otherwise, you are unable to obtain a license without a personal appearance for testing and biometricssorry, if I have missed something. Let me know if you think I haveHTHCharles. mbannist Post authorHi There JojitAs far as I am aware, there is no provision.

I have three suggestionsa) If you have a family member who could speak on your behalf to the Officer in charge of the local LTO branch, and ask if there is any executive discretion that he can exercise. IE; ensuring you can lodge your application on the day you return and sit the test a few days early because of your OFW status.

Not likely but worth a try.2)Ask your boss to give you six weeks leave instead of 4, or even just extend it to enable you to get your license, i have had people tell me this has worked for them, just work the extra days before your next leave.3)Get a license from the country you work in that would enable you to drive while here on leave and if you want to obtain a Philippines license it is a simple one visit transaction at the LTO the next time you are home.HTHCharles. mbannist Post authorFirstly let me say that I know of dozens of Filipinos who renew their licenses remotely, it cannot be stopped as it is law. I suspect that it is one of two things and I honestly do not know which it is.a) A local uninformed decision, if you met all the criteria for having your license issued, the only reason being no plastic cards.

Although my wife was issued a paper license until plastic became available.b) You have not completed all the biometrics, the list was updated in August 2017, and some folk were refused a license because they needed fingerprints, or the digital signature.Ask your family to find out why you still need to appear in person.However have you considered this option.If this sounds like you give it a go.Let me know what happens pleaseRegardsCharlesPS: Did you get your Driver’s License Receipt (DLR) and give that to your relatives when you tried to pick up your license. This could have caused a problem. They need that, a photocopy of your old license is also helpful, a letter of authority from you and Photocopies of Passport (first page, visa page & departure in the Philippines and last arrival overseas).

Driver License In The Philippines

mbannist Post authorHi there, Do you need the license for driving in Qatar? If so then I think the new rules for getting a drivers licence in that country require you to sit for a Qatar license and even then your occupation may not permit you to hold a license.If you are concerned about driving on your return to the Philippines, then the news is better. Even though your student permit may have expired, and cannot be renewed, getting a new one is just a matter of following the same process and providing the same documents that you did previously. To assist you the whole process is outlined.

Do this as soon as you return to the Philippines and you can be riding the same day. mbannist Post authorYou will need over a month, maybe as much as six weeks in your situation. Your expired Student Permit cannot be utilised, you need to obtain a one.

If you do that on the first day of your return, then you can take your theory and driving tests one month after that.In theory, you can take both tests on the same day, but in reality, this depends on the demand for practical tests at the office nearest to you that conducts tests. So I would allow six weeks from beginning to end.If you don’t have that kind of time, I suggest you talk with the officer in charge and explain your OFW situation and see if they have any discretionary power. I don’t think so but you could try.My advice is, do not use fixers as you as well as them can find yourself contravening the law.Kind RegardsCharles. mbannist Post authorHi Mark,If you are in the US as an OFW, then you could follow the process I outlined in the post you read. However I suspect this is not the case and you are now living in the US permanently or for study. If that is the case, you will need to provide someone in the Philippines, that you trust with the receipt a power of attorney and copies of two photo id’s and arrange for them to pick up your license and forward it to you.Getting a drivers license in most western countries is much more intense than in the Philippines. mbannist Post authorGet your uncle to return to the LTO office where you took your teast and explain again that you are overseas and not returning for some time.

One person I talked to, not my regular contact, said that they can issue an old style license, for three years if you will be returning to the philiphines before expiration, but i cannot find anything to verify this. The issue is that the new biometric requirements came out in Aug, if you sat your test and were issued your license before that you will have a good argument for the issue of a non biometric license, as you are being penalised unfairly. But if issued after that date they are saying that you should have had the biometrics dfone already, and if not that is your error. I think the the offer to OFW’s was tidying up those non biometric licenses and all future licenses will need the biometrics. Sorry I can’t be more help.

How Long To Get International Drivers License

When my contact is back in the office and contacts me i will post his response. mbannist Post authori have answered your question below.Yes, but you must meet the conditions below.1. If your current saudi license is legal, ie current and will remain so throughout your stay and has no sanctions or restrictions that would stop you driving the class of vehicle you wish to drive here in the Philippines.2. Your license must be in English, if not then you must have an official translation from the Saudi embassy here in the Philippines. You may be able get that official translation before you leave Saudi.As a Filipino you can obtain a a conversion of your license to a Filipino one.

You need to ensure that the name on your passport and on ypur Saudi license are exactly the same. The process takes a few hours at an LTO office, check that your local can do this.If I am still not clear please be specific about what you don’t understand. I have non professional driver’s license that has been expired since October of 2011. I’m here in Canada since May of 2011. I want to know if i can still renew it and get a professional driver’s license instead of non pro. I also want to know if they can change my name back to my maiden name because my name on my license was still my married name.

I got widowed on July 2008. All my documents now including my passport are already changed to my maiden name. Thank you and looking forward for your reply. mbannist Post authorHi Ly,I think the length of time that your licence has expired may preclude you renewing it while overseas, as it usually entails you resitting both the practical and theory tests, after two years. However the LTO site does not specifically say you can’t so i have outlined the processs, but my advice is to get someone you trust to go to the LTO and outline the situation. Also you may face some difficulty as you have not returned to the philippines for some time.So here is the processYou can renew your non professional drivers license, using a trusted representative, even if the license has expired. It does require the payment of a penalty fee.

1 Day to 1 Year: 75.00. 1 Year & 1 Day to 2 Years: 150.00. More Than 2 Years: 225.00The requirements are as follows:. The original and a photocopy of the Non-Professional (NPDL) or Professional (PDL) Driver’s License. Photocopy of your Philippine passport.

(Data page and page with current visa). Letter from you addressed to the Land Transportation Office requesting the renewal and authorizing a representative to renew the Driver’s License on your behalf. The applicable fees. Currently 652.63 plus the penaltyYour authorized representative presents the above-mentioned requirements to the LTO License Section/District Office/Licensing Center.The LTO shall:. Accept the renewal request. Collect required fees.

Release the owner’s copy of the Driver’s License Receipt (DLR) to the representative. They should then courier it straight to you. The releasing Clerk shall stamp the words “LICENSEE ABROAD. FOR THE PHOTO-TAKE WITHIN 30 DAYS UPON ARRIVAL” at the right side portion of the DLR. The License Section/District Office/Licensing Center shall keep on file all the documents until such time that the licensee appears at the LTO office for photograph taking.You then need to present yourself, within thirty (30) days of arriving back in the Philippines, at the same office where the renewal was made for photograph taking with you following documents:. Original DLR issued to your representative.

mbannist Post authorDyan,A relative should be able to renew, and this has been the practice for several years. However, some people have been refused this service because in August 2017, licenses were introduced that saved biometrics.This, of course, requires a personal attendance, which can’t be carried out by a surrogate.My best advice is a plan A and a plan B.Plan A Use the process defined, to use a trusted representative to obtain your renewal. If that works you will have your license renewed and only need to follow your part of the process when you return home to completely validate the license.Plan B You are able to renew your license after it expires. The are not to heavy as your license will have expired for less than one year. Do not use this option if you are driving in the US on your current license.Sorry I can’t be more specific. mbannist Post authorThere doesn’t appear to be a limit that I can find, so you will not have to go back to a student permit, in fact that may not be an option as technically they can’t be renewed.So go to your nearest LTO and present your old license. You will need to sit the theory and practical tests.There is a penalty of 225phpA medical exam depends on who you use, your own doctor or one of the clinics on the LTO compound or nearby can be up to 400phpThe process can be foundAs you can understand this requires a personal attendance.Please let us know if their is any variation to to our advice so we can inform others.

JDHi.like some of the comment,i am ofw here in canada. I applied for my driver’s license last dec.2016, and since the card is not available that time i left my reciept and authorization letter with my mom. My mother went to LTO many times but they kept on telling her to come back another time. Until yesterday she spoke to one of the staff and told my mom that she cannot claim my license because they need my appearance for picture taking (thought maybe their talking about biometrics bec.

They already took my picture during my application).Do you have an update regarding this matter?. mbannist Post authorJDNothing more definitive than to say that new licenses with a chip came into effect in August 2017. Since that time several of our subscribers have told us that they are required to attend in person for biometrics. I have tried to get a more definitive answer but have received no reply to my enquiries.

About time I filed sa complaint I think. Can I ask you to get your mum to go back to the LTO and give them in writing a statement, saying that when you left in December your license was not available and the process outlined on the site said the collection of the license was possible through a trusted representative. The change to licenses with a chip in August was not a concern as your license was from December 2016. If you had been in the country to pick it up in January or February the issue of biometrics would have been resolved at next renewal. You could add something about the license being important for your job, if that is the case and of course you need to emphasise you cannot just trip back as you are working and have a contract to fulfil, I will make a complaint to the Duterte complaint line about their dithering and maybe we can get some action. JimHi sir i hope you had a great day today, before i ask my questions, id like to state my situation, i am currently working in saudi arabia, i took a student license last december 12, 2017 and my employment contract is consistently renewed every 12months. I went back to saudi last jan 8, 2018, that means if i return to the philppines in jan 9 2018, my student license would have expire before im able to convert it to a non pro license.

Here’s my question:1. Is there a way to request extension of validity of my student license even just for a month?2. Can i get a philippine student license here in abroad? And can be converted to non pro when i return?. mbannist Post authorJim Good morning,Sorry about the delay in replying, but no power here for 36 hours.Student licenses cannot be renewed or extended. You could try for an exception given your status as an OFW.I have just been given access to the covering student permits.You cannot take your non pro or pro license any more than 1 year after the issue of the student permit, so coming back in January would fall outside that time frame. What you need to do is be back in the Philippines prior to the expiration of your student pernit and immediately take your test for your license of choice, Any departure from that would require an exception only granted on a one by one basis.

It would also require a personal attendance at LTO.You can find online exam reviewers for free, I have given you the link to the page so you can be prepared prior to returning. Then you would need to take the practical test and get you full 5 year non-pro, or pro license as you prefer. I hope that gives you more clarityve given. And apologise for any confusion my first response may haWith regard to obtaining a Philippines student license in an overseas country, there is no mechanism to do that in any of the Philippines embassies aor consulates around the world.

How Do I Get An International License

Mainly because a student drivers license is only valid for driving in the Philippines. mbannist Post authorSorry, Carlos,You will have to use another form of transport until you can get to the LTO on Monday. Legally you cannot drive until your license is renewed.Have you considered getting a trusted representative to renew it on your behalf?

That would take a bit of time but if your holiday is not for a couple of months it might work.How can I renew my Driver’s License if I’m out of the country?LTO accepts driver’s license renewals while abroad. Administrative Order (AO) No.

The source of the translation is what gives it credibility.Then you should carry the translation with your license at all times when you are driving.One piece of advice is to refresh yourself on the Philippines traffic rules. Use aAlso, two very recent pieces of legislation could catch you out.1.2.

To take effect on May 19They are policing these quite regularlyHave a great holiday. mbannist Post authorElo,Firstly if you have already had a student permit, you cannot get another. You would need to produce that expired document and ask to take the driving test of your choice during your time here.Make sure you are aware of the road code as a lot has changed during the last few years. You can utilse the many sites that provide the opportunity to test and revise your knowledge. Here is, it is the whole possible 80 questions, with answers. You will only get 40 of them. You must answer 30 correctly.

Then familiarise yourself with the expectations of the non-pro practical test, have a read.Hope that helpsCharles. mbannist Post authorAccording to the rules you need to obtain a student permit and have it for a month before you can sit the test.If you apply on your first day in the country, you could sit your test on day 29 of your leave. A trusted representative could pick the license up for you when it is ready.I realize that is cutting it fine but it appears to be the only way.However you could talk to the helpful officers at LTO about your issue, they may have some discretion, that I am not aware of.RegardsCharles. mbannist Post authorSince August 2017 all licenses require a personal appearance by the licensee. This is because of the requirement to put biometric information into the chip that is embedded in the license. So you need to make an appointment on your next trip home to sit the exam and the practical this can be done on the same day. Let them collect your biometrics and get from them a timeline on when the license will be issued.

It is not a long time and could be fitted into a holiday if co-ordinated well. mbannist Post authorTo regain a license you will need to resit your written and practical exams pay the fees for those plus a penalty of 225php in addition to the normal cost of renewal.More Than Two (2) YearExpired (re-exam)PRO/NON-PROCONDUCTORLicense Fee585.00 585.00Penalty 225.00 225.00Computer Fee 67.63 67.63Application Fee100.00 100.00Computer Fee 67.63 67.63TOTAL 1,045.26 1,045.26You must be in the country to accomplish this as new licenses require you to provide bio metric information that is stored on the chip inside the licenseRegardsCharles. mbannist Post authorSo did you try the approach I suggestedGo to the Philippines Consulate inAsk them to notarise an official copy of your receipt.

That is, get two photocopies and take both the original and the photocopies to the consulate and explain why you cannot return the original receipt and ask if they will verify that the receipt and the photocopy are of the same original lto receipt, by notarising the photocopies. Then send the notarised photocopy to your trusted representative with all the documents listedd and follow the except you are not renewing just collecting.

In your letter to LTO you might like to explain that you need the license to transfer to a New York state license.TheLTO got messed up when the auditor general decided that the contract for printing the licenses was irregular and required them to tender again. I can understand your frustration my wife had to wait a year to get hers. Justine PedregosaHi! Was reading the comments but I must have missed/couldn’t see if an answer to the same situation I have is posted.

I’m an OFW in Qatar and I’m planning to apply for a PIDP through my parents as authorized representatives (which is possible according to AAP) but I haven’t claimed my plastic card after I renewed my driver’s license last Feb 2017. I sent an authorization and the original receipt back home so my parents could get it tho I wanted to make sure they could because I’ve been seeing a lot of news re biometrics that would require personal appearance. Thank you so much in advance!. mbannist Post authorThe offer is still on the website. It is only for picking up licenses already issued but not collected while you were in the Philippines.The process is I you are not getting any response from the yahoo address here are several more you can tryLicense SectionJudith B.

Campos (OIC)Economist III926 7081 / 99061 to 63I have not been getting responses to emails or even on their facebook page. If you get no luck why not try the Presidents complaint line and tell him that you are an ofw and not getting communication from lto. You could get a relative or friend to ring the number on your behalf. mbannist Post authorGood news and bad. You cannot renew a student license. This means that you can sit the written test and take the practical on the same day, when you return on your holiday. You need to present your old student permit when you go for the test.

If asked about the delay say you have been working overseas.Make sure they do all the biometrics that is, pictures, fingerprints and weight, height, hair and eye colour etc which are stored on a chip inside the card. If things are working ok you should get your license on the same day. If not ask about having a trusted representative pick it up on your behalf. mbannist Post authorHi Christopher,When you return here you can swap your unencumbered license for a Philippines License.

You need to get the Saudi Embassy here in Manila to give you an official translation into English. Then proceed to the LTO office nearest you and present your Saudi License and a copy of your birth certificate and Filipino Passport and ask for your license to be changed over to a Filipino one of the same type, except that any other type than 1 or two (motorcycle and car/van to 4500kg) will require you to sit both written and practical test appropriate to that type. mbannist Post authorAs you cannot extend or renew a Student Permit, you need to go to your nearest LTO and show them the expired permit.Say you were out of the country when it expired and ask to take the written and practical test, which can be achieved on the same day.Make sure they do all the biometrics when you pass the test, if you are lucky you will get it almost straight away.If you don’t get all the biometrics and there is a delay, your representative will not be able to pick it up.

Be glad to have you confirm that this works. mbannist Post authorCafro,You are able to drive using your current license for 90 days on arrival, provided you have a verified translation from your embassy here. If you are staying for more than 90 days and your license is clean you can exchange it for a Philippines license provided you have a visa that will enable you to stay in the country for a year or more. Tourist visas are never issued for a year so your visa status would have to change, For example to a Student Visa. You used to be able to obtain a Philippines license at the end of the 90 days but that was repealed a year or two ago.Is our site still providing the old law, if so I apologise, I thought we had amended that.Enjoy your holidayCharles. mbannist Post authorHi Joseph. Here are the rules regarding the student drivers permit.

That may help you.It lasts until December 2018. It is not renewable after that date.As of January 2018 you could take the test for non pro and as of May for the Professional license.If your student permit expires the law says you cannot revise modify or renew it.

This is somewhat confusing as LTO recently confirmed you cannot sit the test for a full license without holding a current student permit. So I assume you have to apply for a new permit after your current one expires. Rolly GarciaSir goodayI have a problem about acquiring Philippine license.Before ihave student permit but morethan.ayears that I could not processed to renew to.professional.Now iwant to take again.How long and how much. To be processed I just want to take 1238 code.Im here saudi arabia more than 5yrs im driving heavy equipment trailer truck.Now iwant to apply in denmark and.I need that phil.license as recquirementim coming home nextyer im here in saudi arabiathanks for advice and helping us.

mbannist Post authorRolly, If you hold a Saudi License for the categories you are wanting and you have held it for 2 years or more, and it has no citations on it you should be able to transfer to a Philippines license for the categories you have.If you do not have a Saudi license you must apply for a new Student Drivers permit after six months you can sit the written and practical tests for a Professional license. This will enable you category 1 and 2 4 and 6 vehicles. After a further six months you will be eligible to drive categories 3, 5, 7 and 8. mbannist Post authorHi NeloIf your PNG license is current and covers the vehicles you wish to drive in the Philippines you should be able to convert your PNG license to a non-professional Philippines license. If you PNG license is not in English you should get an official govt translation to accompany your license.As your Philippines Professional license has been expired for more than two years, you would have to resit both the theory and practical if you wanted to maintain a Pro license. This is feasible as you can resit both the theory and practice on the same day or within a few days of each other depending on the facilities of your local LTO.

marilouHi Po,I’m working and currently in Ireland and kukuha po ako ng license here. Need ko po ng Letter of entitlement/certification aside from my valid Philippine license:‘A letter of entitlement refers to a copy of a driver record with details of name, address, date of birth, driver number, date of expiry of licence and class of licence to include details of what that class refers to’.Would you know po pano process and makakakuha kaya ako kahit na wla ako sa pinas?Many thanks po in Advance. mbannist Post authorThe translation program was not helpful so I may have this wrong. Basically, the answer depends on how long your license has been expired. Under two year and you can renew your license on payment of the penalties. Straight away.

Over three years and you have to re-sit both the practical and theory tests that can be easily achieved during the month of your vacation if you start early. If you want more details of the penalties contact me again I am away from my computer at present.HTHCharles. mbannist Post authorJeff,Yes you can.

Please make sure you have an official translation into English which must be from either the licensing authority in Saudi or from the Saudi Embassy in Manila.Also you can use your Saudi license to obtain a Philippines license provided it has no citations on it, once again make sure you have the official Saudi translationFrom the LTO site2. I have a valid foreign driver’s license. Can I use it in the Philippines?Yes, 90 days from date of arrival.3. Can I convert my foreign driver’s license into Philippine driver’s license?Yes. If valid, no exams.

I had a Philippine driver’s license before I went abroad. Could I still use it upon arrival in the Philippines? Which license am I going to use? My foreign driver’s license or any Philippine driver’s license?If both are valid, you can use any of the two driver’s license. Chapter III, Sec. 21 of the Republic Act (RA) 4136, otherwise known as the “Land Transportation and Traffic Code” states that. “Bonafide tourists and similar transients who are duly licensed to operate motor vehicles in their respective countries may be allowed to operate during but not after (90) days of their sojourn in the Philippines.”Nothing in this article shall be construed to prohibit the licensee for an option to convert valid foreign driver’s license to Philippine driver’s license within the period of ninety (90) days from the date of his last arrival in the Philippines.

However, if the foreign driver’s license is not written in English, such driver’s license should always be accompanied by an Official English translation issued by the Local Embassy of the issuing country. This is necessary in order to avoid cialis side effects.

KatherineHi! Kapag ofw po ba at nagrenew through a representative po dyan sa Pinas kasi nasa abroad pa rin bago magexpire ang license, sa LTO East Ave lang po ba yun pwedeng gawin? Or pwede din po sa ibang offices?Once na maging successful po at maissue-han ng resibo yung representive para dun sa ofw, kailangan po bang magpersonal appearance agad ng ofw para sa biometrics, etc?

Hindi po ba siya allowed magdrive na resibo lang hawak?

It should be carried with your licenseIf you were interested you could use your current license to obtain a Philippines license.Depending on the type of license you currently hold this could be either a non-pro or pro license.Have a great holiday. mbannist Post authorIf your license has expired less than two years, you can take it to the LTO and get it renewed, without having to be tested again. There is a penalty of 75 pesos for one year and 150 pesos for more than one year and up to two years. Apart from that, you would have to take your tests both written and practical pay a penalty of 200 pesos and pay for a new license.

Of course, if you fail the test you will not be able to drive while on your vacation.Have you been driving in Kuwait, if you hold a full Kuwaiti drivers license you can drive in the Philippines for 90 days.

Very few offices open on Saturdays and then usually for specific purposes such as annual reporting for aliens, Guadalupe is not one so you were given bad information. My advice is this go as soon as you get back. If there is any delay ask them how you can get a trusted representative to pick it up.

There is a process for that. Depending on where you are working you may also be able to get them to send you the license, I think it is qatar, Kuwait, Saudi?

Hope that helps.Just an inquiry, I need to get a driver’s license and I have to do it all over again from the beginning since my non-pro have expired ages ago. So in getting a student permit, can I ask my dad to get apply on my behalf? The reason is it should be atleast 30 days upon issuance of student permit to apply for a Non-Pro and my time in The Philippines is not enough. So perhaps if student permit has been issued in advance then I can apply for a Non-Pro personally within the time being i am in The Philippines.

Is it possible?. JoeHi, thanks so much for this great post. I have a question, Im from Ireland, currently living in Spain, but I got my driving license in the Philippines where I have been living the last 15 years. Now it has expired and I need to renew it, is there anyway I can do it going to the local Embassy in Madrid, or online somehow with out having to travel all the way there just to get it renewed?

I really hope I can find a way without having to travel all the way there!!!. mbannist Post authorSorry Joe, I don’t think there is.
