LTO-DFA Authentication Certification (PHL Driver's License)

edited May 2016 in General
Thinking of preparing to drive in Australia from the Philippines?

Well, I had created this post as I just acquired my LTO-DFA document just yesterday and thought of sharing the steps on how to get one.

Different Australian states requires our present PHL driver's license at least 3 months validity. This document might help in ensuring that we are at least an experienced driver here.

LTO PROCESS:

1.) Go the East Avenue, Diliman Quezon City LTO main branch.
2.) Secure an application form. You may locate the application window inside the chapel.
3.) After filling up the form, present your current LTO driver's license for verification.
4.) Photocopy your driver's license. Photocopying machine is located outside and attach.
4.) Proceed to cashier for payment. (Make sure your name reflects the same as application)
I paid around 495 pesos for the LTO fee. Applicants were not that much as I came there.
5.) Claim stub shall be given. This shall be presented next to DFA on specified date.

*Note: DFA schedule is set a week after

DFA PROCESS:

1.) Proceed to DFA, Aseana Roxas Boulevard. (Make sure at least 2-3 weeks after LTO process)
2.) Find the drop box for "LTO" where you will drop your LTO claim stub and proceed.
3.) Wait until name is called. The DFA shall call you using a public microphone and proceed to
designated window.
4.) You will present your ID ( I had used my LTO driver's licence ) to verify my name accurately.
5.) Wait until name is called. A window officer shall give you attached document. Check it.
This comes with an official DFA receipt.
6.) Proceed to cashier for payment of fees. This comes cheap at PHP 100 only.
7.) Wait until name is called for the claiming of your DFA authenticated certificate. This appear
as a document with red ribbon on its left most corner of the paper. Check well before you
leave DFA premises.

Good day to all! Share your inquiries and I will be much willing to assist.

    @prcand hindi expired license ko. Kapag Philippine license hawak mo need mo mag driving test- sa NSW ako ha... Nag learners muna ako kasi more than 3 months na ako dito nung nag start ako kumuha ng license. Upon passing the driving test, bigyan ka nila ng license depende sa gano ka na katagal magdrive based on your PH license... Sa ngayon full unrestricted na license ko.... Nasa RTA lahat ng information about converting yung license mo

    @inhinyero_sg need dapat renewed at not expired. Plan ko mag early renew na sa LTO on my driver's license as hindi valid pag paper provisional receipt lang na madalas na iissue ng LTO ngayon. Go for the card case license request. Parang August pa magrerelease now si LTO. Nagbabalak na ko mag early renew kasi maeexpire na yun sa 'kin this August (birthday ko hehehe)

    @jedh_g ano pala ibig sabihin ng "card case license request"? may pagkakaiba ba to sa usual renewal? may express processing fee?

    @prcand card case means the hard plastic permanent issued ID. Normally, if the LTO office does not have the card case, they only issue provision paper receipt license.

    @inhinyero_sg wala ka irerequest sa LTO. All you got to do is wait until the card case ID comes out for release/claim. Kaya nga I am thinking na isabay ko na lang pagrenew ko ng license pag ready na issue nila ng ID batch.

    Actually problema ko din yan kasi Au is not accepting LTO receipt...flight ko din is end of October. Do not know also if maganda i-renew ko or not na license. Kasi pag di ko ni renew on my birthday, dala ko pa rin hard LTO license ID card, yun nga lang expired na.

    @OZwaldCobblepot what can you suggest?

    If mag convert ka license dito sa Qld accepted nila yung expired LTO license na within 3 mos before ka magconvert at mas safe siguro kung may receipt ka na nakapagrenew ka na.

    I first had my DFA LTO red ribbon document and renewed driver's license but I still pursued getting my ID card as I know na they do not accept paper type license or provisional receipt like what LTO is temporarily issuing

    When I renewed here in laguna area (my birthplace) last August 30, I already informed them of my intention and officer told me to prepare such docs. Then, I went back recently last Sept. 27, I got my card with of course "pakiusap" to the officer justifying my flight shall be this month.

    Depende talaga sa justification and urgency. Try other LTO branch.
