How to get your Philippine driver’s license

I recently got my driver’s license from the Land Transportation Office in East Avenue.

The process is quite simple and, to be fair to the folks at LTO, fast and efficient. Here’s how I did it.

First tip, don’t go through a fixer. You don’t need one. Go through the normal process. It’s faster, simpler and less expensive.

You must first apply for a student permit to drive. This is quite easy. All you need is a valid ID and a birth certificate, I think. If you fall in line at the LTO by 9am, you’d have your student permit before 11am. Go get a form then pay the fees, then get your picture and electronic signature taken. It’s all quite fast. I think I just paid some P130, give or take. The student permit is valid for a year, enough time to learn how to drive.

Start practicing how to drive. Go to a driving school or get a licensed professional driver to teach you. You can only drive with your student permit if you have a licensed professional driver with you. Of course, when you know how to drive, you’d think this is a lame rule but it’s important still especially when it comes to making people accountable for accidents and stuff.

After one month of driving with a student permit, you can now apply for a non-professional driver’s license.

To get your “non-pro” license, bring your student permit and get two important tests done. Get a drug test and a medical test. These are the only other two requirements for a “non-pro”, aside from your 1 month-old student permit of course. To get the drug and medical tests, go to the compound across the LTO office in East Avenue. They have stalls there, parang carinderia, where you can get your drug test and medical test. The medical is just P80. This includes getting your height, weight and testing your eyesight. The drug test costs something more. You can get both for maybe less than P300 only. I got my drug test from High Precision (HP), big mistake, and it costs me P250. The whole thing will just take less than an hour. I would like to believe there are real doctors in those testing areas. =)

Having completed your tests, you can now go to the LTO to get your application form. After filling up the form, with the attached student permit and medical and drug tests, you will go to an evaluator who will take all your documents. Then you will go to a review area, where you will study for the written exam. They have a reviewer where all possible questions are written. You can get them either in English or Filipino.

After the review, you pay some fees then get your picture and electronic signature taken. Then you have your written exam. The exam is simple and is based entirely on the reviewers. The exam process is quite fast and efficient too. There are no cheat codes allowed too. The exam is printed in front of you, and examinees are seated alternately (so if you’re going in as a group thinking you’d be seated together, forget it). Some exam answers are already posted on the walls, especially those dealing with road signs. For a “non-pro”, you need to get 30 correct out of 40 questions. For professional drivers, you need 45 out of 60.

After your written exams, you wait for a few minutes before they call out your name and ask you to go to the practical driving area. There you pay the examinees P60 pesos. I paid P100 because they have no change.

At the practical driving area, you will be asked to drive a vehicle. It is recommended that you bring your own. Why? Because the LTO vehicle is a run-down owner-type jeep. I wasn’t able to bring a vehicle so I drove the jeep. It does relieve you of pressure though. Since you’re not familiar with the vehicle, it’s not entirely your fault if sh*t happens during the test. I saw one examinee bring her own car and still had problems driving around the test area. I survived the owner-jeep as we drove around only at first gear.

After the practical exams, you just have to wait for them to issue your license. It is done within the day. I finished my written and practical tests and payments between 9am and 12noon. There’s a lunch break from 12nn-1pm. I got my license at 2pm. It’s that fast. You get everything within the day. No fixers needed. Congrats to the folks at LTO for doing some good work.

    thanks for this, kapatid! very helpful. kakatanong ko lang kay tonyo pano kumuha ng student permit. 🙂

  2. katie says:

    i just want to ask about the medical test. pano kung malabo yung mata mo? would that be a problem?

    tsaka sa practical test po ba magddrive ka lang? wala ng parking test or whatever? thanks!

    your entry is very helpful!

  3. jack b says:

    very helpful, thank you so much!!!

  4. Jeff says:

    I just want to ask, my student permit will be exactly one month on August 28, 2008. Can I apply non-pro in the exact day it will turn one-month old?
    The non-pro license they will give you is just a temporary license, is it true?
    I am not that good in parking, is it part of the drive test exam? Though I am good in driving a manual car hehe…
    Thanks, would appreciate you inputs…

  5. kirsten says:

    Kahit saan bang LTO pwede kumuha ng non-pro? Kasi parang sa LTO sa Makati walang place kung saan pwede practical test.

    I’m planning to get my non-pro next week kasi.

  6. hello kiki says:

    I got my pro license last week after my student permit got 5 months old. I just go to a fixer who previously did my student permit. No hassle at all, she ask me to comply police clearance and drug test then she filled up the form for me and ask me to wait for 30 minutes after which they took my pictures. I noticed that I was automatically called for picture taking even though some had to wait for their turn, some had waited for an hour for paying the fees and another hour for picture taking. I paid 1500 for the whole thing.

  7. hello kiki says:

    I havnt done the written and practical driving exam. During that time, I really have no idea on how to drive but I got my pro driver’s license even though I have no non-pro. My license indicates that I am licensed to operate 1-2-3 type of vehicle. Thanks to my fixer….

  8. wow! galing naman ng fixer mo…

    let’s just hope you don’t run over anyone, since you really don’t know how to drive as you said so yourself. try not to kill anyone while your driving. better yet, try not to kill yourself on the road.

  9. wenry villablanca says:

    its so sad sa LTO imus grabeh! nandoon na ako ng 9am.. nakalabas ako ng 4PM.. GALENG noh. thanks doon sa mga corrupt na officials kasi hindi ako nag pa fixer.. akala ko matino kayo (LTO IMUS!!! ang bulok nyo) bakit nyo iniibabaw ang mga pinapasa ng fixers. ang galeng nyo ha buong araw ako nandoon samantalang student lang ang kinukuha ko.. sana makamarma ang mga corrupt dyan at fixers.

  10. jeko11 says:

    wow, this entry is really helpful and informative, thanks.. but from May 2008, is it possible for the fee in applying for a student permit to be an unexplainable P700? that’s what I’ve been told at the driving school.. hay..

  11. Kitin says:

    Hi! may i know how to get to LTO East Ave.? Your entry is really helpful by the way. 😉 thanks!

  12. adiksamotor says:

    This is very helpful. Can I print this for future reference? Im about to process my Non-Pro License in a month and I am an idealistic pig-dont want fixers nor pampadulas, I think this worsens the “Pinoy situation”. One question though, will I be having a practical driving exam even if I will just be driving a motorcycle(2 wheels only)? I dont know how to drive a car(4 wheels-too complicated,hehe!)

  13. fateorfaith says:

    need pa ba ng TIN #?

  14. Eliseo E. Paton-og says:

  15. murraya says:

    hi! if you have a student permit, can you drive while being supervised by a driver with a NON-PROFESSIONAL license? because i’m going to driving school and will study driving for 5 days (i already know how to drive inside a parking lot, so the 5 days are for the real thing), but i can’t get my non-prof license until after one month! so i want to drive to school together with my dad…would that be okay? thanks!

  16. don’t risk it. drive with a person with a pro license. you just have to wait one month to get your non-pro. wait it out.

    hi i want to get driving licensed

  18. Chris says:

    Hello! I have a very similar experience as you. Among the government agencies that I’ve had a chance to interact with, it seems like LTO is the most organized. And I’ve been driving for a long time now and I don’t recall bribing anyone in LTO. I have a similar post as yours, except mine is for license renewal.

  19. Chris says:

    And mine took around 3 hours

  20. Theo says:

    Thanks.

  25. Billie says:

    THANKS FOR THIS!!! 😀

  26. rara says:

    damn! wish LTO Batangas is as efficient as this.. it’ll be my 3rd day processing my request for a non-pro.. and i’m not yet done with my written exam and drive test.. wish me luck! lol

  27. Kat says:

    The services at LTO Imus are much better these days! 🙂 I’m happy to report that I successfully got my student license in only less than half an hour when I applied for it last November 2010. Yesterday, when I applied for a replacement of my student license (I had unfortunately recently lost it), the processing at LTO Imus still took me only less than half an hour. They were pretty organized and were doing a good job. 😀

  33. zar tac-an says:

    xhizors kailangan magkaroon ka kahit one day time para sa license mo. or sa permit ,o pag balik mo dito philippines stay ka for 1 month then kuha ka pro license one day lang yun kasi ganun ung sa mom ko. wag ka punta sa fixers mahal dun tas illegal un dapat maging antifixers tayo. aun lang advice ko.

  34. daina says:

    through this blog. i’ve decided to go this place. The medical and drug test are not across the LTO office. you have to walk away from LTO and you can see the DRUGCHECK. but as you stop over at the LTO someone will go to you, and help you. they are not the fixers.
    Drug test – P300 Medical Test – P100. DO NOT GO TO THE FIXERS they ask too much money almost about 2k. But when you apply by yourselves you might pay almost P1200 or prabably less, all in all. The application fee is P168 and then the License Fee is P418. The car rental is P250 for cars/truck. P150 for the motors. Unfortunately I failed in the actual driving, shit really happens, i hate that bulok suzuki car.!! But I will go there again by monday. and i’ll bring my own car. 🙂 Oh well, credits for the creator of this blog! 🙂

  35. Aiste10 says:

  37. Erica says:

    Hi! Thanks for the helpful tips! Just wondering, would you know if they would allow me to use my own car even if it is automatic?

  38. derailedpinoy says:

  41. Paula says:

    are the exams all just filipino? or do they have it in english? and are we supposed to bring like a manual car or auto? cause i heard they indicate on the license the only kind of car you can drive depending on the test or something… and one more thing, is the test easy?

  42. the tests are also in english. it’s good if you’ll bring the actual car that you plan to drive. the test is easy. they have reviewers with answers. multiple choice items.

  71. gam says:

Then if so, do i need to take 2 different written exams (one for car and one for motorcycle)? Second do i need to take 2 practicals in that case(drive and car and ride a motorcycle)? any help would be appreciated salamat!

  72. allansky says:

    Share ko lang po experience ko sa pagkuha ng license .. read it if you want…

    For those of you na gustong kumuha ng professional drivers license.. Before ever thinking na magpa drug test or medical test sa mga private hospitals or drug testing center. Be sure na nasa lists ito at accredited ng LTO. It happens to me nagpamedical ako and drug test sa isang malaking hospital. I’ve ask them (hospital information) if accredited sila ng LTO para magpamedical and Drug Test and they said YES.

    So i’ve been though lots of tests, blood, physical examination, urinalysis, pati dumi tinest na din, x ray and Drug Test. The fact na licensed doctor, nurses and laboratory technicians ang nag conduct ng mga tests.

    Then it goes.. a few days later nagpunta ako sa LTO somewhere in Laguna. Maaga ako dun di pa bukas ang LTO andun na ako at nakapila so happy at pang number 5 ako. Then when it comes na chineck na yung mga requirements ko na disappoint ako kasi daw yung hospital na nagconduct ng tests sakin eh di raw license or wala sa listahan nila. Ano ba yan! malaking hospital yun at di lang basta hospital kasi kilala yun sa Batangas.

    So walang magagawa di inaccept yung medical ko, it costs me around 500 din for that medical. Luckily tinanggap yung Drug Test( strange diba di pwede ang medical pero pwede ang result ng drug test, hay). Then they told me na “di pwede tong medical certificate mo, magpamedical ka ulit jan sa may labas mura lang 100 lang accredited sila samin”.

    Sa labas ng LTO meron nga mga drug and medical centers. At first parang sari sari store lang or maliit na carinderia. Nag pa medical nga ako mura lang 100 pesos. Sa loob may nag assist sakin di naman yata nurse walang ID naka pantalon at T shirt lang. Kinuhanan lang ako ng BP, Timbang, height tas tinanong kung malinaw ang mata ko. Di man lang pinabasa sakin yung chart. Tas may kunwari chinekan sa form tas pinapirmahan sa kasama nya sa loob ng kwarto tas yun na instant 100 Pesos na.

    Yun ba ang medical na tinatawag, samantalang sa ospital kumpleto pati nga b***s mo titimbangin kung pantay pag nagpamedical ka, tas ganon ka simple tanggap ng LTO…

    Nakapasa naman ako sa exam nila and i’ve got my professional license na. Kaya lang talaga nakakadis appoint and sistema nila. Sana magkameron ng pagbabago sa ganong gawain..

    Madaming road accidents nangyayari sa atin.. Bakit kaya…?

    And nga pala dun sa mga kukuha ng license para sa motor be sure na naka sapatos kayo or you might ending na magrerent ng sapatos for 20 pesos totoo yun nagpapa arkila sila basta kikita hehehe. Pati sa mga 4 wheels may bayad din ang sasakyan so kung meron ka dalhin nyo na lang at least gamay o kabisado nyo pa ang sasakyan diba. Isang ikot kasi ng sasakyan worth 200 pesos yata sayang din pang gas diba.

    Just sharing lang po… peace…

  73. jedguecob says:

    Kailangan pa po bang mag re apply for student permit kapag na expire na to or pwedeng mag non preo na?

  74. nancy says:

    hi..can i ask help, need fixer too..please

  75. sa haba ng mga binasa ko, iisa lng tanong ko na wla png sagot..
    please help naman..

    kelangan b tlga ng police clearance o NBI clearance sa pagkuha ng NON-PRO driver’s license? un lng po..kasi sobrang nightmare na po tlga ang kumuha ng NBI..gusto ko lng makasiguro pra di naman masayang pera at pagod..

  76. allansky says:

    kung below 18 ka pa lang pwede ka na kumuha ng non pro license. if 18 above ka na ituloy mo na sa professional if expired na student permit mo.

  77. allansky says:

    if may student license ka na… di mo na kailangan ng nbi or police clearance…
    Kailangan mo lang ay (Original at xerox copy)

    1. student license mo
    2.drug test and medical (dapat accredited ng LTO)
    3. Tax Identification Number
    4. ipasa mo ang written at actual examination.

    If marunong ka na talaga mag drive at malakas loob mo plus over 18 ka na try to get professional license na agad ganon din naman processes na dadaanan mo and madali lang naman ang exam.

  78. boo.08 says:

    based on my exp pina RENEW ko yung student permit ko. then after a month you can apply for your non-pro/pro na.

  111. Merci M. says:

  112. Merci M. says:

  114. thatgiguy says:

    @Merci M.

    You can get Professional Driver’s License if you drive for your living. If you have your own private vehicle, Non-Prof will suffice.

  124. hindi eh. kung dadaan ka sa tamang proseso… you will take the exam and the practical. if you need an ID for a passport, ibang ID na lang gamitin mo like voter’s ID, SSS or GSIS.

    Good evening po. Ask ko lang po kung paano magchange ng license from restriction 1 (motorcycle) to resctriction 2-3( pang 4 wheels)? thanks po

  131. willy says:

    No-pro is for private vehicle use or not commercial vehicle. Pro is for public use like passenger bus, jeep, and other commercial vehicles. In short, it is used, to earn for a living by other drivers. Otherwise, it is also possible to use it in a private vehicle.will

  132. Non-Pro is used only, in a private vehicle or not in a commercial vehicles. While, Pro is used in a commercial vehicles like passenger bus, jeep, taxi, and other commercial vehicles, In other words, Pro is used by other drivers to earn for a living. Otherwise, Pro can also be used in a private vehicle.

    Ask ko mga boss, pag kukuha po ba ng student driver’s license may drive test pa? or kapag nag non-pro lang saka may drive test? thanks

  138. miguelboom says:

    For a Non-Prof you only need a 1 month old SP and you’ll be able to drive only private vehicles. With a Prof license, you can drive both Private or for hire vehicles (taxi, jeep, etc.). Also, for vehicle restriction you need to pay for a specific amount to add restriction.

  139. haihai says:

    hello ^^ im only 17 years old mag 18 ako next january pa may SP na po ako mag 2months na po ung SP ko pwd naba akong kumuha ng non-pro i want it so badly can i?

  140. Diane says:

    Hi. I’m zero knowledge about driving. As in wala talaga ako alam. So i tried to browse some driving lessons at sulit.com. I’m just confused about their offers. Is it necessary to take a long course (15days) for a zero knowledge like me? The longer day, the more it cost. And since actual driving fee is not yet included (i think). I saw the list, fee is separated. Thanks. This entry is very informative anyway.

  141. Formal driving school not a requirement. Get a friend to teach you. I had zero knowledge too before

    professional licence holder po ako,ask ko lng po kung pwede akong makapagdrive ng automatic vehicles like car and AUV?

  151. Greetings! Nice post!

    Question…As an American, with a new six (6) month extended Visa and current USA drivers license, with no moving violations on record, is the process basically the same OR is there a different process to follow?

    Being that I am an experienced driver, no violations and am currently licensed, although under a different jurisdiction, must I apply as a student driver under that process or can it be waived and just take the health/drug test and perform the written and physical driving course test?

    Thanks Always…Michael
