PH passport/LTO receipt as temporary driver's license

[xagent_orangex]

magandang araw po sa inyo, may nabasa na ako dito about using passport as temporary driver's license, however sa case ko is medyo iba.

eto ang sitwasyon:

i have an existing valid DL sa pinas (renewed last january 2013), i applied for a DL dito sa Saudi so nasa kanila ang aking DL id card (sa June 2013 pa ang balik ko for exams) so maibabalik lang sa akin ang DL ko by June pa.

Uuwi ako ulit sa Pinas this coming May 2013 and of course magda-drive ako dyan sa atin. Knowing na wala akong license at hand, pwede ko bang gamitin instead yung official receipt lang along with my passport as my license? (in case na sitahin ako ng enforcer, otherwise walang problem)..

my friend here says, without legal source/s, na dati daw e expired yung DL nya noong umuwi siya sa Pinas. nahuli siya (no left turn yata violation), and ang pinresent lang niya is yung passport niya. sabi niya "allowed" daw ang passport gamitin for 30 days as temporary license.

anyone here kung may link (e.g. law about temporary license, usage of official receipt) paki share naman...

salamat po!

let's say na legal ang mentioned subject....do you think those TE's or manong cop knows about this? malaking discussion yan pag na-apprehend ka TS.

sad truth..hindi lahat ng enforcers/manong cop ay well-educated with these laws (existing laws)..

yung kwento nga nung friend ko na gumamit ng passport nung nahuli siya (no left turn), nagtalo talaga sila dahil syempre hindi siguro alam nung enforcer na may ganoong batas (kung meron man). ang reason ng friend ko is ayaw niyang makuha nung enforcer yung DL niya (expired) dahil hassle naman talaga ang pagtubos nito. so pinresent niya yung passport niya at sinabing OFW siya at may exemption daw kuno. hindi naman pwedeng kumpiskahin yung passport ng enforcer diba. my friend end up giving some bribe to cut the story short.

sir, salamat po sa response. by the way, wala pa din po akong foreign license, under application pa din at nasa kanila din yung PH DL ko.

ang naiwan lang sa akin ay yung OR ng LTO DL ko. in case, for example nahuli ako, pwede kayang ipakita yung OR lang?

Foreigners can drive w/o PH License up to 90 days sabi ng RA 4136... Dunnoh if any law has ammended this.

Section 21. Operation of motor vehicles by tourists. - Bona fide tourist and similar transients who are duly licensed to operate motor vehicles in their respective countries may be allowed to operate motor vehicles during but not after ninety days of their sojourn in the Philippines.

If any accident involving such tourist or transient occurs, which upon investigation by the Commissioner or his deputies indicates that the said tourist or transient is incompetent to operate motor vehicles, the Commissioner shall immediately inform the said tourist or transient in writing that he shall no longer be permitted to operate a motor vehicle.

After ninety days, any tourist or transient desiring to operate motor vehicles shall pay fees and obtain and carry a license as hereinafter provided.

Sir pwede din naman bayaran mo na lang ung penalty for failure to cary drivers license, make sure lang po na meron kang dalang photo copy ng drivers license mo.

Kasi kung makikipag areglo ka ganun din naman ang presyo or mas mahal pa, saka mas importante ang passport, paano kung ayaw na ibigay ng TE e di hindi ka na naka byahe.

pag passport ang i-present mo sa palagay mo ano iisipin nung buwaya na humuli sa iyo?

"uy, passport! balikbayan! madami dollars ito, di pwede P200, dapat P1000 ang presko ko. o isagad ko na kaya na $100!"


ang alam ko na pwede i-present ay foreign DL kasama ng passport (proof ng date of arrival), may exemption na 30 days from date of arrival. di ka na nga titicketan at bale wala yung ticket nya, at di nya pwede confiscate yung foreign passport unless involved ka sa accident.

guys, guys...to be clear po, wala po akong DL na hawak ngayon (saudi license or ph license) dahil nag-apply nga po ako ng license dito at nasa kanila yung ph license ko (required yun para di kana mag driving school dito)..

so pag-uwi ko, kung sakali mang mahuli ako ay LTO official receipt at passport ko lang ang maipapakita ko sa kanila..

ok, to simplify, may nakaranas na ba sa inyo na mahuli at official receipt lang ang ipinakita? pwede ba ito?

[kinyo]

mag-apply na lang ng bagong driver's license ... sabihin 'lost license', gawa ng afiidavit, mas madali ang proseso kung meron xerox ng old/lost license

matic yan sir kahit may resibo ka.. driving without license.
di nila ipupush yung violation na failure to carry license kasi as far as they know dun sila sa mas mataas ang penalty.
at kung papakita mo pa passport mo instead na peso malamang nga gaya sabi ni sir yebo, dollars ang hihingin syo.

as much as possible wag ka na lang muna magdrive on national roads or highways. mahirap na di mo alam kelan ka mababangga, makakabangga, o mahuhuli ng enforcer.

my understanding :


Philippines liscense mo hawak ng Saudi for application of Saudi liscense sa June pa maibabalik after process is done ..

Uwi ka before June and with the intention to drive here sa PI ... Bottomline wala ka lisensya to drive when you get back here .

If wala ka residency sa ibang bansa ( greencard / foreign passport etc. ) ibig sabihen dito ka pa din resident sa pilipinas hindi lulusot ang philippines passport as your temporary drivers liscense kase hindi ka naman foreigner at andito tyo sa pilipinas kung sa states ka mag dridrive pwede yan philippine passport mo 30 days upon arrival sa states .....

If you are willing to go thru the process of the other poster of filing loss liscense i think that would work out just fine ...

My Cents :

If wala talaga iba mag dridrive sayo then goahead with the lost liscense route

( just keeping it real mali yun in principle / technically pero sino ba dito sten ang santo ? Ako il do that if needed so )

Pero if merun ka naman mahahatak na drayber pa drive ka nalang at ng ma relak ka habang na byahe at ng hindi syado laspag katawan mo pagbalik mo sa work abroad
