If you have a driver’s license in the Philippines, it has a validity period of three years. So if you acquired your license in 2007, it will expire on your birthday on 2010. The expiration falls on the month and day of your birth date. The validity applies to both non-professional and professional licenses.
Driver’s license can be renewed in any Land Transportation Office (LTO). Failure to renew the driver’s license until the date of expiration has a corresponding penalty.
Expired driver’s license penalty
- 1 day to 1 year expired the penalty is P75
- Expired for more than a year to 2 years the penalty is P150.
The same penalty applies to both non-professional and professional licenses.
Requirements in Renewing Driver’s License
- Original Driver’s license expiring and expired for not more than two years
- Duly accomplished application form
