    @tartakobsky thanks!

    BTW.. if I decide to buy a second-hand car mga magkano ballpark na magagastos ko sa insurance, registration/transfer (if required), etc?
    ahh ito po nagastos ko noon sa aking pulang ferrari worth $2500.
    $22 transfer fee
    $45 stamp duty
    $184 3-month registration renewal
    Are you sure inde ka kumuha ng CTP? ..
    And a BLue Slip ?

    Required ito ng Motoring Body ng mga state?


    ah included na sa $184 yung CTP, pero meron pa ako separate na biniling TPL from AAMI for $19 every month at saka roadside assist na $12 per month. Baka iba-iba ang cost per state.

    Sharing my experience on Driver's License Conversion:

    Dumating ako dito sa SA, October 2013. Oumunta ako sa Services SA and sinabi nila allowed ako to drive for 3months and then take the online exam that will allow me to drive for a year with my Philippine Driver's License. Took the road rules online exam and passed. Binigyan ako ng certificate of attainment and nakalagay dun na I can drive for a year basta valid pa license ko and within that period kelangan ko na mag-vort.

    Philippine License ko expiring June 2014

    Took 3 driving lessons (1 hr each) with an aussie instructor para masanay sa road rules and driving on the left side of the road and right hand side driving. Sya rin nag-confirm ng sinabi ng Services SA. So I drove for a few months here while using my Phil. License.

    Since expried na driver's license ko ng June, I called Services SA and hindi na nga ako pwede mag-drive mag-isa and need to secure a learner's permit then take the VORT test.

    I enrolled for another 3hrs driving lessons before my VORT test using my learner's permit, and I still drove my car pero dapat may kasama ako sa car na meron'g full license (my partner and/or friends usually accompanied me then) nung sinabi ng instructor ko na ready nako, he booked me for a VORT test $224 including 1hr worth of review diving lessons before the actual vort test. Sa awa naman ni Lord pumasa kagad and binigyan ng certificate of attainment. The next day punta kagad ako Services SA to get my SA driver's license.

    On buying a 2nd hand car:

    I got my 2nd hand car from a co-worker. A Toyota Echo 2003 model. Good condition naman bought it for $2500. Sya nag-process ng transfer fees, pinirmahan ko lang yung blue document for the registration and less than an hour nakapangalan na saken ang car. I pay registration every quarter for $184 (dati $164 lang). Got a third party insurance -SGIC $19/month and RAA road side assistance $11/month.

    Happy New Year Everyone!

    Ano po yung tawag sa certificate na hihingin sa LTO na licence holder kana sa Pinas for say XX years already... yun ba yung 'License Certification' na nabasa ko sa website nila?

    Also, nakukuha ba yung certificate na yun in any LTO DL Renewal offices? Sabi rin kasi sa website ng LTO... sa Main Licensing Office pa daw sa QC in-issue yun... tama ba?

    @RED hahaha ayus yun ah

    Hay ang LTO natin sa Pinas walang available card na pagpprintan ng lisensya, resibo lang binibigay... bulok talaga.

    Expired lisensya ko, di ko alam kung paano ko magmamaneho at mag-aapply ng lisensya sa Oz pagdating ko dyan sa Feb, kung LTO receipt lang ng renewal ang meron ako

    Meron ba dito ganyan din ang sitwasyon?

    @wizardofOz I think I've read somewhere in this thread na same situation like yours na epired na ang license but still able to get AU license. He just brought his license along with the old receipts as proof and of course he did took the test.

    About the card sa LTO, I think kahit reciept lang makuha mo eh okey na since you won't be needing it dahil you'll be in AU naman. Ayun hope this help!

    pa advise naman po dyan... lalo na sa mga SG Based..

    I got my PH Drivers License last Oct .. and planning to convert it to SG - nabasa ko dito sa thread na dapat at least 1 year so I can convert my PH license to SG license.

    planning to move to oz(victoria) on April, 2016.

    ano po mas magandang gawin?.

    a. PH to AU conversion?
    b. PH to SG muna? (but need to wait at least a year para maconvert) - I'm a PR in SG (dko pa naman irerenounce), willing to come back to SG para lang maconvert ang PH to SG license. Then SG to AU.

    Thanks in advance sa mga sasagot..

    @wizardofOz matanong ko lang, hindi ba overseas ka din nagwowork? Hindi ka nagpaconvert para mas madaling conversion na lang ang gagawin mo ulit? Most likely ganyan din gagawin ko. Enjoy the 2 months use of my old license then convert on the 3rd month. Sayang kasi gusto ko din sana mag motor kaso hindi included sa license ko yung class na yun, kung nasama ko na sana dati. Ngayun kelangan ko asikasuhin yun if I intend to ride one badass bike! hehehe

    @MisterKehn I'm not sure about the conversion kasi based from what I understand is that you must be holding it for a year before you can convert and another thing is if it only applies for pass holders, baka kasi since you're a PR eh pwede niyo na iconvert kaagad. If your planning to move by April of this year eh try niyo na lang po siguro iconvert. Matanong ko lang po, why do you need to come back in SG just for the conversion eh by that time antagal niyo na po sa Oz which you will probably need an Oz license to be able to drive.

    @markbarquin thanks sa info.. baka ganun na nga lang din gawin ko.. saka kukuha din ako nung First Issue na certificate na iniissue ng LTO..

    Plano ko kasi within few weeks of arrival sa Oz, makapagmaneho na ko gamit yung Pinas DL ko then i-maximize ko na yung 3 mos allowable... then saka ko apply ng Oz license.
    i suggest unahin mo pagkuha ng drivers license on your first month here. unless confident ka na papasa ka on your first take. madami na ako nameet na di agad nakakakuha license dahil di makapasa sa exam, including me :D

    @MisterKehn Hi, nagpa-convert din ako from PH license to SG license. Aside from passing BTT, kailangan ung PH driving license mo is first issued BEFORE you started working in Singapore. Hahanapin ung first stamp sa passport mo ng EP mo ng immigration. Ung first issue ng LTO license mo, malalaman mo sa 2 digit# sa DL# mo.

    I passed my BTT, kaso ung PH DL ko 2012 pero I started working in SG from 2008. Actually 2nd license ko ito sa PH, kasi nawala ung 2005 ko and sabi ng LTO dati kumuha na lang ng bago ksi hassle pa mag-affidavit of loss etc. Sabi sa SG, kailangan ko raw nung document from LTO na nagpapatunay ng first issuance which is 2005 kaso hassle naman and walang time to go to LTO Quezon City. May waiting time ksi ung dahil ipapasa ung sa DFA for consularization and sa DFA mo claim ung doc.

    Anyway, for you if Oct 2015 lang license mo, and if you started working in SG before Oct 2015, inde mako-convert license mo. You have to go through the normal process -> pass FTT exam and then practical driving exam. If may time ka, you can do that, you can learn via school or private. Mas mura ang private

    Hi @femme_wolf.. tanong ko lang kung nasa Oz ka na ba ngayon? And anong state?

    Required ba na "red ribbon" pa by DFA yung License Certificate?

    Kumuha kasi ako ng License Certificate, pero hindi na ko nag-request ng DFA authentication kasi hindi naman sya binanggit na requirement sa NSW...

    BTW yung LTO Certificate ang naka-indicate doon is "Holder of License Since: YEAR"....hindi sya yung "First Issue Date" as specified sa requirement ng NSW...

    Although may binigay pa sakin na isa pang prinout yung LTO na screenshot nung Database nila, showing yung "First Issue Date"

    @wizardofOz paano yung Pinas papel license lang?
    brad.. you mean kung yung PH na Paper License kung ih-honor sa Oz for your first 3 months?

    IMO pwede dapat sya, basta explain na lang na at the time na umalis ka sa Pinas di pa available yung plastic card...

    Like sa NSW kasi, may instance daw na sila rin mismo, paper license ang ini-issue initially

    rms.nsw.gov.au/roads/licence/moving-to-nsw.html
    Depending on which location you attend, your NSW licence card will either be handed over the counter or posted to you. If it’s posted, you’ll receive a temporary paper licence, which you can use to drive or ride until your new card arrives.

    I was able to obtain my temporary license earlier today upon passing the BTT yesterday. I got a non-pro PH license and they converted it into a class 3C license. Good thing I don't need to upgrade my license but if in case I would like to ride a motorcycle I may need to apply the license type for it which is baka sa AU ko na lang gagawin. They will be sending the card in a month's time.

    Tips when converting your PH license to SG:
    - Have at least half a day allotted to it.
    - You can convert right away after passing BTT
    - ID Picture and NETS payment only!
    - Photocopy of your:
    -IC
    -Passport (Current and the one you made your entry in SG)
    -Passport page of the stamp indicating date of entry in SG
    -License & Receipts of your license (Good thing I kept some of mine, yun nga lang dun nila binase which is 2008 nakalagay at hindi sa sa card na 2002 sana)

    Double confirmed na hindi convertible and PH license if you acquired it a year after your entry in Singapore.

    @filipinacpa I don't think you can convert because of the main reason na bago nga lang po. If you want to drive nga you still can drive for 3 months but after that you need to apply nga and go thru the whole process.
