Getting my license

**angang** · December 26th, 2005 08:21 PM

Hi everyone..

I'm turning 17 this Saturday, December 31

so that means I can apply for a non-pro license already. Question ko lang is if I can get my license earlier, siguro mga wednesday or thursday (Dec 28 or 29) since the LTO is closed on the holidays tapos medyo busy na ako the week after new year.

Papayag ba ang LTO na I get my license a few days earlier? (Legally, sana :D)

sa LTO Pasig kapitolyo kumuha instant non pro bigay sayo, temporary license, yung plastic id car, ibigay sayo sa date naka sulat sa temporary license.

ah, thanks. So pwede kumuha a few days before my birthday pero temporary lang? Yung plastic card kailangan ko pang balikan?

I don't think so as the LTO licensing system are computerized. Better get your license next week.

Here are my TIPS in getting a license:

1. DO NOT...err I mean N E V E R talk to anyone there that approaches you without an LTO ID on them. (There are usually twice the size of your average school ID.)

2. DO NOT E V E R DEAL WITH FIXERS!!!

3. DO follow the steps in getting your licence posted INSIDE the LTO Licensing Center. There are several in the Metro: inside the Coastal Mall in Pasay, Tayuman in Manila, LTO Head Office in East Ave., QC, and Capitolyo in Pasig.

3. I SUGGEST that you be there at 7am. If you are there early, you will finish early. (common sense na yun, heheh!)

4. isip pa ako...

Kaka 17 ko lang bro. I got my non pro last dec8. Tip ko sayo kumuha ka sa main office sa East Ave, QC. Dumating ako mga 7:30am tapos nakuha ko kagad liscense ko mga 2pm. (as in ung card na mismo, hindi ung paper lang na temporary)

Eto tips ko sayo.

1. LTO MAIN OFFICE IN EAST AVE ka kumuha.
- card na kagad non pro na binibigay nila, wala nang temporary na papel

2. Be there around 7AM
-7:30 ako dumating, naabutan ako ng lunchbreak nila. Kung 7am, makukuha mo before lunch. EAT HEAVY BREAKFAST, walang kainan sa compund.

3. Pag dating mo sa gate, sabihin mo sa guard na kukuha ka ng non pro. Idederect ka nya across the street sa mga drug testing lab. May mga nag a-assist dun sa gate, sasamahan ka nila. (take note, hindi sila mga fixer at hindi sila babayaran mo. sa lab ka mismo magbabayad) They will test your eyes at kukuhanan ka nila ng urine sample. This process will take around 15-30mins. Bayad ka ng 70 pesos.

4. Pag meron ka nang lab results, punta ka na dun sa liscense area ng LTO. Punta ka sa 1st window para maprocess na papers mo at makuha mo number mo. Nandun na nakapost instructions. Just be alert the next time your number is called.

-processing of papers, number
-picture taking
-bayad sa cashier (50 pesos testing fee)
-written exam
-practical exam (40 pesos)
-cashier uli (250 pesos liscense fee)
-releasing na

Sa written exam, may reviewer. Yung mga tanong, galing sa reviewer so basahin mo ng maigi. 40pts yun, 30 passing (75%)

Sa practical exam, owner type jeep gagamitin mo. Jologs! Pawis steering, hirap mag shift ng gear tapos lubog pa mga pedal. Namatayan nga ko 1 time pero sabi ok lang until 3 times. Ipapaikot sayo sa compund yung jeep tapos reverse park dun sa original spot.

Yun lang mga tips ko sayo bro.
Goodluck!

Wow, you can get your licence sa isang araw! Over here it takes 2 years to get a full licence (1 written test, 1 eye test and 2 practical tests 1 year apart).
