Apply in PersonEdit

  1. Here's how you can apply for a professional driver's license at Land Transportation Office (LTO). You may apply for a license at any LTO licensing office near you. First thing you will need to do is check if the LTO office of your choice process driver's license applications. Next, check if you need to book an appointment online with LTO ahead of your visit. Note: LTO just launched a new website portal called the Land Transportation Management System (LTMS) which you can use to set up an appointment and transact with LTO. But not all LTO offices in the country is connected to the system. Some offices may still accept walk in applicants. It is very important that you check first before you go to a LTO office.
  2. At the LTO office, ask where can you get an Application for Driver’s License (ADL) form. To save you some time, you may also check the link provided under 'Documents to Use' section which you can click to download the Application for Driver’s License (ADL) form. Once you have completed the form get a queue ticket and wait for your number to be called.
