    Hi folks!

    Is it a lost cause to get a non pro driver's license via the "right way" as in without a fixer involved? Seems only 3 LTO offices issue new DL's, Las Pinas, Pasay and East. Which office do you think has a more efficient, fast and hassle free process? what documents do i have to bring and how long does it usually take?

    TIA and happy driving!

    "if there is a right will there is a right way."

    i think makati also releases/processes DLs. normally, they will just ask for an identification (pero to be sure dala ka na ng copy ng birth certificate or passport + 1 more ID <- nakalimutan ko na yung actual requirement eh...)

    fill up an application form for DL, take the exam (pero hwag mong lalagyan yung examiner), and afaik, makukuha mo yung license mo within one hour.

    I never believe in these fixers and never dealt with them!

    Tiyagaan lang bro! Just be there early and if suwerte, you're off before lunch. Btw, if you can bring also your TIN, please do and other IDs as well (with xeroxed copy) para less hassles. Exams are easy naman and usually logic lang, meron namang review before it. Yung actual, mas lalong madali if you have already done your homeworks....

    Good Luck po!

    kaya pong makuha in a day. exam sa morning, take pictures, signature, driving test after. just bring your 2 valid id, also your old student license. yun lang po ang alam ko nun ako nag-apply. and hintay ng matagal pag masipag ang teller sa windows, ayus na agad.

    Madali lang yung right way. Mura pa.

    East Avenue

    Student:

    Went there at 4pm, brought a birth cert, paid 128 pesos, they will photograph you then the student license will be printed out then given to you. That's about 30-45minutes normally but i had mine in 20minutes (not sure how).

    1 month after, went there at 11pm, had drug and medical test across the street. about 250 pesos.

    12-1pm Lunch break of the office.

    1pm, paid 250 something then had the written exam (which is so easy i aced it without studying, it's pure common sense only a supermoron would fail it. hehe). Afterwhich, i was called for the practical exam, drove the owner type jeep and the motorcycle for my 12 restriction. After 30-40minutes, my name was called and i had my non-pro license. Went home happy because i got my license in a clean and right way.

    all in one day.


    BTW, there was a fixer outside who approached me and offered 1,500 for sure pass in the exam. I told him im not that stupid to fail a very easy test. hehe

    What i don't understand is, like in DFA, why aren't these fixers shot? They are duping a lot of people right under the nose of these government facilities.
