Philippine non-prof driver's license or International driver's license

tartakobsky · July 2014

@czha tiningnan po yung expiry. Di naman tinanong kung ilan taon nako nagmamaneho. March ko lang nakuha lisensya bago kami lumipat dito kaya dito na ako nagpaturo magmaneho. Lisensya lang po dala ko, di ako kumuha ng cert sa LTO.

@czha different rules ata ang pag convert ng license sa mga states here. Anyways, when my hubby converted his license he obtained certificate from LTO kse nakaindicate dun when he got his first license. Here in NSW since hindi recognize yung country natin kelangan mag dkt and driving test. Pag napass mo yung dkt pwede ka na magbook for driving test. Pag naipasa mo ang driving test yung makukuha mong license would now depend dun sa number of years you are driving. So since si hubby 10 years na ata nagdrive nung pinaconvert niya license niya after passing the driving test he was issued full license na. Pag less than 3 years ang license mo you'll get p2.

This, kung inde ka pa nakaka 3 years sa license mo sa pinas either pro or non-pro dont get a LTO certificate, and yes state rules varies pero normally yung law sa NSW ang basehan

@czha ah yung maraming driving hours eh pag younger than 25 years old ka

so kung lagpas ka na dun eh hindi ka na hihingan ng log book

Hi everybody, if my PH license number is D06-04-123455, kelan yung first date ng application ko? thanks po sa sasagot

cholle · October 2014

@kabayan I'm guessing 2004. In my case it's N02-06-xxxxxx and I'm sure I was first issued my PH DL in Feb 2006.

Hello po. Pwede ba mag apply ng expired drivers license from australia to pinas? I saw kc pwede daw copy of passport na you are here, copy of driver's license and visa. But does anyone know where to submit it? What is the address and who is the person in charge? Thnks po

rdr8 · December 2014

@cholle hi! How about mine, confused ako D14-10-xxxxxx... January 2010 yung first issue saken ng DL thanks

cholle · December 2014

@rdr8 e di January 2010 :P yung first numbers ay hindi month, yan ata yung lto branch code

rdr8 · December 2014

@cholle ok.... Kala ko bnase mo sa first 2 numbers yung month, that's why it made me confused! Anyway thanks

boq_ · July 2015

up ko po ito. confirmed ba na ito ang tinitignan nila for driver's license? so kung nakalagay na ang year of first application sa license no. ndi na kailangan kumuha ng certificate sa LTO?

tartakobsky · July 2015

@boq_ hi, mas importante po yung expiration ng lisensya, iyon po tinitingnan nila dito. wala po hinihingi na certificate from LTO.

J_Oz · July 2015

Baka nga alam na nila yong DL # natin. First DL ko ay issued ng Jan 2011 so ang start ng akin ay N03-11-xxxxxx

boq_ · July 2015

thanks @tartakobsky!

marc_chrono · August 2015

Hello. Tanong ko lang kung may nakakaalam sa inyo paano mag renew ng ph driver's license while in Australia. Thanks.

cholle · August 2015

@marc_chrono parang may nakita ako sa LTO website an steps for renewing from overseas. Although considering na may shortage ng mga DL cards ngayon, baka OR lang bigay nila sayo.

Superched · April 2017

Meron na ba nakaexperience dito na magrenew ng 7 years+ expired non-prof PH driver's license? Pwede pa ba marenew kahit magpay ng penalty fee or kailangan magstart at student again?

Mia · April 2017

@Superched may penalty lang... 'di kailangan mag-start uli.

Superched · April 2017

@Mia so normal renewal procedure lang din? No need to take written or practical exam? Nakukuha na din ba yung license within the day? Thanks

Hi everyone, question lang regarding driving using Phils. License..

Just took the pratical exam to apply for full license in Australia while currently holding a valid Phil. license, unfortunately i failed and will do another test next month. So ang sabi sakin is im required to get an "L" license kahit valid pa yung Phil. License ko even if i just arrived here in Oz which im aware has 3 only months validity.
Now here's the catch, I understand that i have to abide by the law of getting an L license and must be accompanied by a full license holder but if i decide to still drive using Phil. License( and not display an L plate) for a month not because i want to but i have to as PART of my work. Is it too risky? I know its a silly thing to do yet again im doing because I have to.

Or can road authorities automatically find out that im driving illegally while on the road even if i wont commit any offence within a month, that i really should not be driving using Phil. License starting now.

Thanks in advance sa sasagot. And I appreciate any kind of inputs. Mabuhay!

Anino78 · April 2017

@Hctibasefil better to abide the oz law kc ndi na yan pinas na pwede mo bayaran ang makakahuli sa yo lalo na nasa ACT ka pa yata.

Anino78 · April 2017

@Superched ang pagkakaalam ko pag mahigit 3 yrs na yata paso ang lisensya kelanhan na magsimula uli as student. better to check sa LTO mismo.

Cassey · April 2017

@Hctibasefil It's too risky though yung kilala ko ganyan yung ginagawa niya.. It's up to you kung iririsk mo. Kahit na 3mos or 6 mos validity pag once na bumagsak ka, you can't drive using your Ph license. From what I've read, someone's been fined for $1600 here in Vic and was suspended for driving in 18 mos... If it were me though, I wouldn't risk it...what is a month compared to 18mos.. You've got more to lose than to gain.

loucas_11 · April 2017

Hello po.. I am currently working in SG and im planning to get license from PH then convert to SG DL then to Au.. Ask ko sana if may bearing po ba kung kakakuha ko lang ng Drivers license ko sa PH tapos papaconvert ko na agad to Sg DL? or need ko pang mag antay ng specific months or year bago mag convert.. Medyo mahal kasi ang pagkuha ng SG DL, salamat po sasagot.

mangdelfin · April 2017

Question din po sa akin. Currently I have a non-prof Philippine driver's license (OR pa din). Moving in on June 17. Ano po ba mga dapat kong i-secure from LTO here para mapabilis kumuha ng Oz na driver's license? PR po ang visa ko. Thanks!

Rob1986 · September 2017

Hi Everyone! Anyone here staying in Victoria? I just got here 2 months ago, I currently have a Student dependent visa valid til 2019. Does that mean I can drive using my PH license til 2019? Thanks in advance
