Student's Permit to Non-Pro Problem

**jeocon10** · July 18th, 2012 08:48 PM

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!

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.

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
