Fafa Boybi, may exam na. To make sure, I checked their website. Eto yung mga procedures:

1. Proceed to the Evaluator to have your documents checked for completeness and authenticity, and secure a Driver's License Application Form. (This form is available for download here. You can accomplish this form prior to transacting your business at the LTO.).

2. Proceed to the Phototaking/Signature Area when your name is called to have your picture and signature taken.

3. Proceed to the Cashier when your name is called to pay the application fee.

4. Proceed to the Examination Room for the lecture and written exam.

5. After passing the written examination, wait for your name to be called for th practical exam.

6. After passing the practical examination, proceed to the Cashier when your name is called for payment of the necessary fees.

7. Proceed to the AMPI Counter when your name is called to have your signature and picture taken.

8. Claim the temporary driver's license (TDL) and the Official Receipt(OR) of payment.

Tinanong ko rin yung kakilala kong taga LTO dito sa Meycauayan. Ang sabi nya (re: exam from non-pro to pro) eh "depende na sa usapan nyo yan nung taga loob." Subjective ang interpretation dito.

kailangan din magpalit to Prof kung kukuha ka ng International DL.

Other than that mas maganda Non Prof kung hindi naman DRIVER ang profession.

Kailangan po ng Police Clearance, Drug Test, written exam et al kung magpapalit from Non-Pro to Professional Driver's License. Noong ginawa ko ito mga 3 years ago, hindi naman ako hiningan ng (photocopy ng) OR/CR ng sasakyan.

Kahit Non-Pro,- puwedeng kumuha ng International Driver's License. Ginagawa namin ito sa mga engineers naming pumupunta ng Amerika at gustong mag-drive. Pero ngayon ay hindi na, dahil puwede nilang gamitin ang kanilang Philippine Driver's License for two months (yata)....

Madali lang ang written exam.

Basic (driving) rules and regulation and a lot of common sense....

**OTEP** · October 10th, 2006 09:43 AM

Yup, pwede NBI kaso wala ako nun. Takbo ko ng QC city hall to get police clearance. Mas mabilis kasi.

eto ba yung kinukuha sa AAP/PMA? di naman kailangan ng pro dito eh. nung kumuha ako nun, pinakita ko lang yung non-pro ko, bayad ng fee, smile sa camera, tapos after 1 hour ok na yung IDL ko.

afaik, basta nagdadrive ka to earn a living lalo kung mga PUVs gamit mo, dapat pro ang license. pero kung personal na sasakyan mo kahit na elf or di trailer pa, pede na ang non-pro tapos additional restrictions nalang.

ako 1,2,3, ang restriction ko eh. di ko napalagyan ng 4 and 6 nung last time na nagpa renew ako kasi kailangan sa may guiguinto LTO pa ko pupunta. e hassle kaya next time nalang. bihira din naman ako mag drive ng may trailer eh. wag lang machambahan na matic ang dala ko tapos makursunadahan ng nanghuhuli..

AFAIK, meron..

pero when I had it done, wala na.. pinaayos ko ng lang lahat sa L.O. namin. tanong nga ng LO sa akin eh, "kailangan mo ba talaga ipa-open yung mga restrictions?" sagot ko, "hindi naman, maganda lang na pwede..."

**radiazone** · October 10th, 2006 03:03 PM

may restriction code ba ang non-pro? kasi deretso ako from student to pro license 1-2-3

**driven** · October 10th, 2006 09:43 PM

ang written exam ng pro is 60 items, for non-pro its only 40 items... dati ganun eh, ewan ko lang kung same pa rin...
