LTO extends validity of vehicle registration, driver's license that expired Sept. 30

October 7 ------ The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has extended the validity of motor vehicle registration and driver’s licenses that expired on September 30 as part of the assistance to the motorists affected by the calamities, including the recent magnitude 6.9 earthquake in Cebu.

LTO chief, Assistant Secretary Vigor D. Mendoza II, the extension will be until Oct. 15 this year, and this means that no fines will be collected for late registration and renewal if the transaction is done within the extended period.

“This is in consideration of the cancellations of government work caused by heavy rains brought by the Southwest Monsoon and Typhoons Nando, Opong, and Paulo and the devastating earthquake that struck Cebu,” said Mendoza. “A lot of our kababayan were affected and this was the LTO’s way of providing assistance to the affected clients in line with President Marcos’ directive,” he added.

Mendoza said he already issued a memorandum to all the agency’s Regional Directors and District Office heads in relation to the extension. Mendoza said the 15-day period for the settlement of Traffic Apprehension Cases, effective Sept. 26, will likewise be extended until Oct. 15.
