Student's Permit to Non-Pro Problem

[jeocon10]

I'm 16 years old and currently have a student's permit which I got on my birthday. I want to get my non-pro license as soon as I am 17, but unfortunately, as luck would have it, my birthday falls on a Sunday, when the LTO is closed. This means that my permit will also expire that day, making me unable to get a license any day afterwards. Any day before my birthday, the LTO won't allow it since I wouldn't be 17 yet. I already called LTO and they said the only solution is to get another student's permit after my birthday and then I'd have to wait another month before being able to apply for a non-pro -_-

I find this stupid since it isn't my fault that my birthday falls on a Sunday and my permit expires on the same day. I cannot believe there's no workable solution around having to get another student's permit and having to wait a whole month. What's the point in that having had my permit for a full year already, only to be epired by one day, then having to wait a month? Seems unfair to me. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas on what to do? TIA

simple lang yan, get a new student permit before your bday (like tomorrow). so the next day after your bday you will still have a valid permit which you can use to get a non-pro. of course this will only work if your bday is a month from renewing your student permit.

the government bureaucracy sometimes can be very frustrating, and stupid.

My permit is stillvalid though. How will I get another permit? Is it allowed? Or will I have to say it's lost or something? Thanks!

Tell them you lost it.

[yebo]

sabihin mo nadukutan ka.

[jeocon10]

Haha sige salamat sa tulong. Sana gumana to, at 'di magkaproblema pag kumuha na ako ng non-pro dahil dalawa na permit ko.

Sabihin mo hinde mo naman kasalanan kung madukutan ka sa LRT.

Of course, don't picture to them that you're somehow scared, confused and what not. Baka kasi kung ano nalang sabihin sayo etc. etc. Stay firm.

OT lang: pardon my ignorance but, 17 pwde ng kumuha ng non pro license? all the while I thought it was 18
my son kasi is turning 16 next year and i'm excited na magka driver na ako

[JohnM]

Do they have records of student permits? Diba one can only get a non-pro at least a month after the student permit's issuance date?

i agree alam ko din kasi 18 ka dapat bago ka magkaroon ng license eh unless madami ka connections at madami ka pera na pwede mo ipalakad kaagad.

which means dahil sa mga ganyan madami mag license even those people who doesnt know how to write or read.

amp talaga :P

[lowslowbenz]

Sa LTO .. pag may pera .. walang problema!

[greenlyt]

so is it 17 or 18, actually i could get my son's non pro license naman thru connections pero i dont want to ba a bad example to him, kaya ok lang naman mag hintay

[shadow]

Its not just a bad example but they can't use their DL as a valid ID since ibang year Ang year of birth...thats what happen to most of my HS friends dinaya nila year of birth nila

why in a hurry? most of the young drivers met accident coz of being aggressive & excited at the same time sometimes ignoring or lacking the knowledge on traffic signs & symbols just to get behind the wheels...kung ngayon pa lang sa DL nagmamadali na what more pa kaya in actual driving na, i dont want to discourage or disappoint the TS but can't you wait a year more, i know 18 is the legal age to have a DL non-pro type...or circumvent the law & have it yourself but in the end when unexpected things happen what do you think might turn out, good or bad for you??? think about it...

17 yrs old ako nung nakakuha ng non pro license. Ako lang naman nagayos at walang connections.

17 is now the legal age to get a non-pro license in the philippines. It's not 18. For someone who has been driving for 3 years illegally, it would really hurt to wait an extra month to be able to drive legally haha.

tama, 17 pwede na for non-pro pero dapat may parents consent letter

[jut703]

17 is the legal age to get a license. It's in the LTO site.

I got my license when I was 17, the right way. Sadly, the right way takes you a whole day to get it done.

Walang hininging ganito sakin when I got my license when I was 17. I made one, but noone asked for it.

[renzo_d10]

16 - student's
17 - nonpro
18 - pro

Pwede ka magkaron ng nonpro at 16yo pero you have to face the consequences (5k penalty) after
