New LTO License requirement? [TIN number]

**jjmd3_787** · September 22nd, 2009 02:32 PM

My father had just renewed his Non-Prof driver's license last month. May bago daw requirement for renewals: BIR TIN # card. And here's the problem . . .

We all know that this TIN # is FREE. Right? You just have to go to the nearest BIR office and request for it. Well, may mga magagaling na LTO employees na ginagawang gatasan ang bagay na ito.

Kung wala ka pang TIN# ay sasabihin nilang sila na ang bahala, just pay php1000! At marami na silang nabibiktima, mostly tricycle and jeepney drivers. Pati mga kawawang farmers ay hindi pinapatawad. And these people usually don't know government policies. I'm referring to LTO Region 2. . .

I hope USec Lomibao will do something about it!

My friend told me about a similar MO at LTO. They would ask for your TIN # and if you don't have your TIN card with you, they would verify your TIN # at the BIR website but you have to pay P120 for the print out. The "verification" is done at a sari sari store across the LTO office.

I heard last week at the NEWS.
AM Radio c/o 630 Channel/Frequency
That they won't ask for TIN# anymore.

It's a good news for all of us.

LTO lifts TIN requirement
By Perseus Echeminada (The Philippine Star) Updated September 19, 2009 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Reacting to complaints of driver’s license applicants, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) has lifted the requirement of a Tax Information Number (TIN) card that complicated the processing of applications for a license.

LTO chief Arturo Lomibao issued last Wednesday Memorandum Circular 2009-1216 directing LTO branches nationwide to implement the requirement to present the TIN card only in the processing of student permits and new driver’s license applications.

Aside from student permits, the TIN will also be required for applicants of new conductor’s license number, duplicate professional and non-professional and conductor’s license, conversion of foreign license to local license, and student permit for foreigners.

TIN will no longer be required for the renewal of professional and non-professional drivers’ licenses, expired driver’s license from two to 10 years, revision of records and replacement of mutilated driver’s license.

The TIN or photocopy of the TIN card will, however, be required for the processing of driver’s license of Filipinos living abroad.

The TIN requirement is in compliance with the executive order issued by former President Joseph Estrada, which mandated all government agencies to require applicants for driver’s license - even students and non-taxpayers - to get a TIN before their application could be processed.

Lomibao, a former chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP) who assumed his LTO post only last February, has ordered an investigation into the irregular processing of license renewal at the LTO branch in Las Piñas City, wherein an applicant for renewal of driver’s license was required to present a valid identification card and TIN card before his or her application would be processed.
