Recently I had to renew at Marikina because the encoder at Robinson's Galleria made a typo on my middle name last time I renewed.
Malamig yung aircon and konti lang ang tao pag hapon. Yun lang you have to park across the street in the open parking beside the river.
Renewed my non-pro last week June 22 at Rob Lipa (to test the new LTO policy on servicing clients on Saturdays).
Pag renewal sa Mall DLRO, they are strict about this: no revision or change/s whatsoever in your details (except your weight :D). Kung meh typo, change address, add restriction, etc., hindi daw pwede sa mall DLRO gawin, kailangan sa LTO District Office/s.
Anyway, super bilis, hindi na kailangan ng LTO form (nagprint pa naman ako), meron lang binigay sakin na 0.5 A4 paper na renewal form. Magdala narin ng ballpen para di mahassle.
Katabi narin ng DLRO yung medical clinic, 400 for the bp/eye/hearing tests (important: dala kayo ID o medical records kung saan nakalagay blood type nyo para dina magbayad ng 100 pesos for the test). Computerized at online na ngayon na real-time integrated sa LTO. Pero wento sakin eh nung unang linggo/simula eh sakit sa ulo at laging offline / nganga (birth pains).
Fillled up the form, submitted the medical certiicate and paid P652.63 (no penalty), had my photo taken, digital signature, viola...tapos.
BUT sira yung printer ng mall, 2 weeks na raw, so pinapunta ako sa LTO Regional Office IV-A (sa Lipa din naman) para dun magpaprint ng card. Pagdating dun, walang pila, parang pang 6th ata ako.
Pansin ko lang, sa pag print ng card, literally niretype lahat ng details ko, pic and sig ulit + biometrics. Ibang software nadin gamit, hindi na STRADCOM. So baka reconstructing the database ito (ito yung nakikita kong bottleneck kasi mano-mano ulitan).
All in all: Siguro 1-1.5 hrs, kasama na yung travel time from Rob Lipa to LTO IV-A RO to have the card printed. Pero kung di sira yung printer nila, released agad.

Kudos the the LTO for allowing licenses to be renewed on a Saturday. Very convenient and hindi na kailangan magfile ng VL.
Also, meron na din palang DLRO sa UP Town Center facing Katips.
Kailangan pa ba yung old OR para renewal? Hindiko na kasi makita yung sa akin.
