LTO: You can now renew your driver's license online
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) on Thursday launched an online platform where motorists can renew their driver's license online via an app.
The LTO said the Online Driver's License Renewal System (ODLRS) aims to simplify the renewal process, reduce physical transactions, and bring public service closer to the public.
'This is a better alternative for going to LTO offices since you don't need to shell out money for transportation to our offices and don't even need to queue in any license renewal offices,' LTO chief Assistant Secretary Atty. Vigor D. Mendoza II said in a statement.
To access the online application, motorists need to download and install the 'eGovPh' app in their smartphones which is available in the App Store and Google Play.
The app would require security verification in order to protect users' accounts.
These are the steps to avail of the online driver's license renewal:
1. Through eGov app, find the icon NGA, locate LTO, then click
2. Select Online Driver's Application
3. Click "Renew Your Driver's License"
4. Upload or Capture a Photo of the Front and Back of your Physical Driver's License
5. Once uploaded wait for the analyzation of the uploaded card (1min to 3min)
6. Once validation is complete, review and verify the details, then hit submit
7. Take a Photo and abide by the Required Standard Format which can be seen in the instructions before taking a Photo.
For a fast and hassle-free online application, Mendoza advised applicants to first secure the following requirements that would be uploaded during the online transaction process:
Telemedicine Medical Examination
Inside LTO ODLRS Portal click "Telemedicine"
Book appointment
Attend and Finish the online medical examination
Complete Online Driver's Enhancement Program (DEP)
Inside LTO ODLRS Portal click ODEP
Finish the five-hour education program
Online Payment
Choose a payment gateway
Pay the corresponding renewal fee
Mendoza said a successful transaction means the driver's license is already renewed. The electronic version of the driver's license is also automatically generated and can be viewed in the eGov app.
He noted that the e-license is valid as the physical card.
Applicants may also avail a courier provider and book for the delivery of the physical card or they may pick it up and select a nearby LTO district office.
'All of these digitalization efforts are intended to make all transactions in the LTO fast and comfortable to all our clients as instructed by [President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos through Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon]. We continue to evolve to further improve our digital services and expand the reach to all Filipinos even abroad,' Mendoza said. — Joviland Rita/RF, GMA Integrated News
