I went to LTO East Avenue to apply for my student’s permit this week. Admittedly I am scared out of my wit to drive and it is just out of necessity as requirement at work that I am even considering learning how to drive. Anyways, from past experience, I know I have to brace myself to having to get into a long line when doing transactions with government agencies. So as a preventive action, the first order of the day is to get there early. I got there at 7:00 in the morning and true enough, there was already a long line. I finished my transactions at around 9:30 a.m. At that rate, I’d say the service could still get better and should get better. It was only bearable because I met someone while waiting whom I was able to exchange conversations with.
If you want to apply for student’s permit the requirements are the following or you can check the LTO website. Student permit is a prerequisite when enrolling in a driving school and in applying for Non-Professional or Professional Driving license.

ReplyDeleteYou have here a very nice guide for getting a student permit for would-be drivers in the Philippines. I noticed you got it from LTO Main Office. It would be easier if one will get it from LTO branches. The queues are shorter.
ReplyDeleteYes there were just so many applicants in the Main Office. It just happened to be the branch nearest to my house.=)
ReplyDeleteIs LTO open on saturdays for new applicants?
ReplyDeleteNo, they are only open on weekdays and office hours from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the transportation guide. this is really helpful
