My LTO Experience...

I applied for a student's permit several years ago. Never applied for driver's license after that, but I vividly remember how terrible that experience was with LTO Noveleta. Last Monday,after much thought, I came along with my husband who was accompanying my sister in law and we headed to LTO Las Pinas. Well compared to their Noveleta branch, I found Las Pinas branch to be cleaner and more organized. Instructions on what to do for a specific document are printed in tarpaulins and posted all over the branch. I brought the photocopy and original copy of my birth certificate, along with one valid ID.

If you are an applicant for student permit, you need to proceed to Window 11 with your documents so you an fill up your application form. It is also in the same window where you will be given a blank form for the evaluator and your number. Wait for your number to be called and proceed to Window 15 where you'd be asked to swore in. The evaluator will then check and assess your documents before your last name will be called in Window 16 for your ID picture. Be mindful to look at the camera during your picture taking and sign afterwards. Proceed to the cashier and pay the applicable fees:

Student Permit (SP) Fee – Php 150.00
Application Fee – Php 100.00
Computer Fee – Php 67.63
———————————— Total = Php 317.63

Wait for the release of your permit in Window 21.
