LTO Driver's License Renewal at Satellite Office

Earlier today, I renewed my driver's license at the LTO Licensing Satellite Office in Robinson's Novaliches. Believe it or not, I had it done for only 40 minutes! Would you imagine that? The good part, there are no fixers or under the table happening! Oh, I see a lot of hope for our country here.



STEP 1 - Fill out the Driver's License Renewal Form (DON'T FORGET YOUR TIN #)
STEP 2 - Pay 400 pesos for Drug Test + Medical Test
STEP 3 - Collect Urine Sample + Sign Waiver
STEP 4 - Have your Photo and Finger Prints taken
STEP 5 - Medical Test (Read through an Eye test/ Weight/ Blood Pressure)
STEP 6 - Have your Photo and Signature taken for your Driver's License
STEP 7 - Pay Php 492.63 for your Driver's License
STEP 8 - Get your Renewed Driver's License after 5-10 minutes



In all of the process, I really don't get STEP 4. I wonder (and I'm really suspicious) why they would need to take your photo twice, and at this point, all of your finger prints of all your fingers on both left and right hand? You tell me.

After your drug and medical tests, and waiting (most part on the drug and medical tests), presto, you have your license done! :)
