question about license

**joyluck614** · April 3rd, 2010 08:50 AM

I recently purchased a car last march and i got it registered pero hindi sa name ko, pero i have the original OR/CR and deed of sale, ask ko lang kung puwede kong gamitin ang california drivers license ko kasi wala pa akong local na drivers license dito.. and mga magkano need ko para makakauha ng license para dito sa Philippines, thank you!!

Sir AFAIK hindi po irerecognize yung california license mo, unless its international, kasi nasa Philippines ka na, (Correct me if I'm wrong mga sir). nasa 400+ or 600+ pesos ata yung non pro, try visiting the nearest LTO in your area.

may reciprocity ang U.S. at Philippines pagdating sa license diba? paconfirm na lang. My cousins just use their Cali licenses here when they visit. But you can use it for only for driving (not for identification, car rental, etc.).

^^^ Yes, that is correct. In the same token, I am using my Philippine Driver's License when I am driving in CA.... I think maximum of two months yata, if I am not mistaken.... Enjoy the Manila Roads, bro!!!

And, I am using my Philippine Driver's License too when I rent a car in CA.... I think it is true for the rest of the US, although I've driven only in CA, ID, NV, OR and WA....

I am looking at my driver's license and noted that I paid P350 + P67.63 or total of P417.63 for its renewal,- good for 3 years. So, I guess P1K appears to be in the ballpark, given the various tests and certifications required before you get the license.
