First step is to get a copy of the LTO Driver’s License and Conductor Student Permit Application Form (full pdf file credits to lto.gov.ph website)

You may also opt in to download the official LTO Application Form for Driver’s License (full pdf file credits to lto.gov.ph website)

Sample LTO Student Permit

I’ve been to this before. Downloaded the ADL form listed above using online registration to avoid the long line just to go get a form to fill up before application. I have also applied in person for my own student permit in the Land Transportation Office before I was issued my very own professional driver’s license. I had it later on converted and downgraded from level 1,2,3 to a non pro 1 and 2 only. My reason? I don’t ever want to drive trucks which is for the level 3 qualification.

So here goes. First off, I would like to let you know that there is also an available conductor’s permit in the LTO in case you are after this one. For those of you who would like to apply for a student permit, you have to realize a few important facts prior to your application and also before you fill up the official form (which I have provided a downloadable pdf version above). Student permits are workable or valid for only 1 week (back in 2008 but not sure today because LTO website is still down and useless) which means that you have to consume its validity for the purpose actual driving lessons with a professional license holder and qualified driving instructor.

Remember that after which process of your driving lessons, you will be tested in the branch where you will obtain or apply for your own pro or non pro driver’s license. Also take note that you will have to go get your NSO birth certificate first before applying for a student permit. This is for the purpose of letting the authorities know that you are qualified to apply based from the listed age requirement below.

Step by Step Procedure in Application of Student Permit (license): (source: http://www.internetphilippines.com/lto-philippines/lto-student-license-permit-application-procedures/)

1. Proceed to the Customer Service Counter to have your documents checked for completeness, and secure a Driver’s License Application Form. (This form is available for download at the LTO website. You can accomplish this form prior to transacting your business at the LTO window.) Get a queue number and wait for your number to be called. This has been changed today, your name will be called upon and the window number to which you will go will also be announced along with your name. Be sure to always be alert.
2. When your number is called, proceed to the transaction counters to submit all required documents to the Evaluator.

  • Lys says:

    Hi good day, I would like tO ask when can I get a non pro license? I have my student license now I got it last sept 10, 2012. Ty

    • transportation office says:

      Opo pwede na po pero kung na-expire na po ang student permit ninyo ay kukuha po ulit kayo… Ang huling pagkakakalam ko po ay 1 week lamang ang duration at expiration ng student license permit. After 1 week dapat po ay mag apply na agad kayo ng pro, non pro driver’s license kung hind po ay mapapaso na po ito and will be rendered useless and expired.

      • che says:

        hindi naman po 1 week lang ang xpiration ng student license 1 year kaya. yung mga nagtatanung basahin nyo kaya ng maayos myron sa taas ohh valid until..hehe

      • JOMARI says:

        pwede mo na ipa-non professeional kase naka 1 month na yung student permit mo…valid ang student permit for 1 year kaya kung di sigurado sa validity period (..transpo office kaw yun) ng student permit eh wag na mag-comment ng good for 1 week lang kase nakakalito lang sa ibang nagtatanong…peace

      • joranybmagallano says:

        pwde po bang ma ka kuhan na copy student permit

      • Len says:

        1 year po validity ng student permit ^^

      • allan says:

        Pero bakit halos lahat ng drivers na natanong ko ay 5 months pa raw ang hahantayin after securing student permit bago mapapalitan ng pro?

      • ddd sss says:

  • roel says:

    gud day po sir tanong ko lang po kung pede bah ako maka renew sa license ko dito sa cebu na resibo lang po ng license ko wala kasi ako drivers license ID dito ko sana e renew sa cebu yung driver license ano gawin ko po.

    • transportation office says:

      Kung nawala po ito, kakilanganin ninyo ang duly notarized na affidavit of loss. Makakakuha po kayo nito sa city hall sa inyong lugar. Medyo malabo po kasi ang paliwanag ninyo. Sabi nyo po ay magrerenew kayo pero bakit resibo lamang ang hawak ninyo? Nahuli po ba kayo sa isang violation kaya resibo lamang ang hawak? pano po kayo magrerenew kung wala kayong license? Kaya po tinanong ko kung nawala po ba ito or nahuli kaya wala sa inyo… In any case, kung nahuli, dapat po muna ay tubusin ninyo ito dahil hindi din kayo makakalusot at nakasulat na po yan sa database nila na impounded ang inyong license. On the other hand, kung nawala po, you will just need an affidavit of loss just like what I said above. Good luck po.

      • JOMARI says:

        hindi pwede mag-renew kahit saan lto branch pag wala ang license id card..simple as that

    Hi,

    My daughter got her student permit last week (Nov. 29, 2012). Yesterday she noticed that gender written is “M” instead of “F”. Will this affect the renewal to non-prof later or she may just need to correct it on her non-prof application form soon. It’s the LTO personnel who inadvertently did an error.

    Thanks.

  • Teodoro Eugenio Alejo says:

    What are the requirements that I need to bring and how much would be the fee and how many days will be the processing. I got my LTO Driver’s License in Quezon Ave. Branch. For my request reprint do I need to go to the same branch again or can I apply at any LTO Office? I reside in Katarungan Village in Sumulong Hi-way, Antipolo.

    Hoping for your immediate reply.
