LTO Warns Against Fake CDE Certificates from Fixers

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) is firmly advising the public to steer clear from fake Comprehensive Driving Exam (CDE) certificates, as there is no benefit in obtaining them since they can be easily accessed for free.

So if you notice third-party agency fixers that are selling fake certificates, don’t be tempted to purchase them. Aside from being illegal, these documents can land you in trouble as using unauthorized documents is a punishable offense.

Instead, it is best to acquire CDE certificates through legal and legitimate means such as taking the exam at LTO-accredited testing centers. Doing so will ensure that you have an authentic document that can be used for validating your driving qualifications and privileges.

What is LTO Comprehensive Driver’s Education (CDE)?

The Comprehensive Driver’s Education (CDE) is a program implemented by the Land Transportation Office (LTO). It requires drivers to complete an educational course and pass an examination before being issued a license. The program is designed to increase driver competency, road awareness, and safety on the roads. The CDE is also issued to Filipinos who are renewing their driver’s license.

What is a CDE Certificate?

A CDE Certificate is a legal document issued by the LTO to certify that a driver has passed their Comprehensive Driver’s Education examination. The certificate serves as proof that the driver has fulfilled all requirements and can begin driving legally with a valid license.

It is also important to note that having a valid driver’s license or ID alone does not necessarily make you competent enough on the road. It is essential that drivers are knowledgeable about traffic rules and regulations, as well as safe driving habits. A comprehensive understanding of these practices can only be gained through proper education and practice, which makes taking part in the CDE program even more beneficial for all motorists.

Fake Certificate of Registration LTO – CDE

The agency has graciously given a bundle of perks to the public, including no expiration for the certificate, and complimentary access to exam materials and examinations at any LTO Driver’s Education Centers or LTO’s accredited driving schools. Aside from this, individuals can take their exams with ease through the Land Transportation Management System (LTMS) online. So there should be no reason why individuals should resort to fake certificates.

The LTO is continuously encouraging the public to take part in its responsible driving campaign by adhering to traffic laws and regulations, and taking the necessary steps to obtain an authentic CDE certificate. This will help ensure safer roads for everyone.

Below is a post of this announcement as shared on the official Facebook Page of LTO Philippines. Please be advised on this urgent matter:

Anunsyo: Mag-ingat sa mga pekeng Comprehens’ve Driver’s Education Certificate o CDE Certificate.

Mahigpit na pinapaalalahanan ang lahat na ang Comprehens’ve Driver’s Education Certificate o CDE Certificate ay maaaring ma-avail lamang sa mga sumusunod:

1. LTO Portal (portal.lto.gov.ph)

2. LTO Driver’s Education Centers

3. LTO-Accredited Driving Schools

Para sa mga kliyente na nasa mga rehiyon na hindi pa pinapatupad ang mga probisyon ng RA 10930 kaugnay ng CDE at issuance ng 10-yr valid license, antabayanan ang mga susunod na abiso sa official Central and Regional LTO Facebook pages:

Where to Apply for CDE Certificate?

There are three options for you to get a CDE Certificate from LTO:

  1. LTO Portal (portal.lto.gov.ph)
  2. LTO Driver’s Education Centers
  3. LTO-Accredited Driving Schools

Please take note that the above places are only the official sources for CDE Certificates. Always be aware that acquiring fake certificates is illegal and can land you in trouble with the law.

Summary

The Land Transportation Office is advising the public to avoid acquiring fake Comprehensive Driving Exam (CDE) certificates as they are not legitimate and can lead to legal trouble. Instead, it is best to acquire CDE certificates through legal and legitimate means such as taking the exam at LTO-accredited testing centers or visiting the LTO offices near you.

By practicing responsible and lawful procedures, you will be able to save yourself from any legal complications while still being able to drive in the Philippines with ease.

What is LTO? Land Transportation Office

The Philippines’ transportation system is in need of modernization, and this is why the government has taken various steps to address this issue. One of these is through implementing reforms in the transportation sector as spearheaded by the Land Transportation Office (LTO).

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) is a government agency that is responsible for issuing driver’s licenses and registering vehicles. Its latest updates allow Filipinos to get around efficiently.

what is lto land transportation office

Meaning and Purpose of LTO

The LTO is a government organization that is in charge of the land transportation system of the Philippines. Its various tasks include the inspection and registration of motor vehicles, issuing driver’s licenses, and enforcing regulations and laws.

The primary goal of the LTO is to make land transportation facilities and services more efficient while reducing the complexity of its regulations and laws. It also believes that public servants must become more aware of their roles in developing the country’s leadership. One of the agency’s main commitments is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for land travel.

The four-fold mission of LTO:

Individuals wishing to renew their vehicle registration must complete the necessary documents. They can also contact the LTO to resolve other matters.

The LTO is responsible for handling the registration and renewal of motor vehicle licenses. It can also issue license plates for new vehicles such as light electric cars and three-wheelers, as well as for imported cars.

The LTO has four goals:

1. The LTO is the government organization responsible for automobile registration and renewals. New autos, light electric vehicles, and three-wheeled vehicles may be registered. Several separate procedures and conditions must be followed in order to be properly registered in each category.

Those who seek to renew their registration must supply the essential documents and follow the protocols in order to be fully registered. The LTO also handles transactions involving the change of a registration certificate.

To run the drivers’ licensing program, including license application testing – The LTO is in charge of driver’s license regulation and issuing. It may also issue licenses to non-citizens and citizens, depending on the requirements. Aside from issuing licenses, the LTO also provides a non-professional driver’s license, which allows people to operate vehicles with restriction codes.

2. Aside from issuing licenses, the LTO also provides a non-professional driver’s license, which allows people to operate vehicles with restriction codes. It does, however, issue student permits, which are required for both professional and non-professional driver’s licenses. All applicants must pass both the written and practical examinations to acquire their licenses.

Individuals can apply for a license or permit at any of the LTO’s District/Extension Offices or Licensing Centers.

3. To put in place laws governing the land transportation system, such as traffic and safety norms – The Land Transportation Office (LTO) enforces and implements land transportation laws. It also handles matters involving seized vehicles and driver’s licenses. The organization closely follows a procedure to resolve these issues. It allows the use of duplicate license plates for both commercial and personal vehicles.

In addition, the LTO is responsible for ensuring that public transportation services adhere to Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board fare standards (LTFRB). It has the jurisdiction to punish both overchargers and underchargers.

4. To accredit some manufacturers, assemblers, importers, and dealers seeking to conduct business with the LTO – Certain firms and individuals can do business with the agency through the LTO. Automobile importers, manufacturers, and dealers are among them. To begin, a company or organization must seek for accreditation with the Assistant Secretary of Land Transportation.

The LTO issues a Certificate of Stock Reported (CSR) to indicate that a motor vehicle’s maker, importer, or assembler has already reported the stock to MAIDRS. Furthermore, sales records are required to prove that the declared inventory was sold to end users.

Sales reports from the agency include a variety of transactional information, such as stock transfers and regular sales. They also report the spread of unregistered or unlicensed motor vehicles. In addition, the LTO handles MAID approval requests for its transactions.

The conductor’s decal, public bidding, and chassis identification number are among the methods involved in these transactions.

Programs and Services of the LTO

Land Transportation Office Infrastructure and Information System (LTO-IIS) Project

In 2012, the LTO and DDOT partnered to implement a communication and information system that would help improve the agency’s efficiency. The objective of the project is to enhance the public’s experience with the LTO’s services.

The goal of the project, which is known as LTO-ITIS, is to build a comprehensive information technology system that will allow the LTO to improve its operations and processes. This system will be used to process various transactions, including the registration of new motor vehicles and renewal of drivers licenses.

This project aims to make it easier to obtain the necessary information about the registration of vehicles. It also tackles issues related to the usage of third-party data providers.

5-year Validity of Drivers’ Licenses

The LTO started issuing five-year driver’s licenses on August 29, 2017. In October 2016, the agency started accepting new and renewal applications. Unfortunately, due to the contract issues with the printers, a backlog of over 3.6 million licenses had been created.

In August 2017, President Duterte signed a bill that extends the validity of drivers’ licenses by one year, except for student permits. The new law also provides that all licenses will only be renewed for five years.

Non-professional and professional drivers may still get a ten-year license if they don’t commit any violations during the course of the license’s term. These individuals must still follow the agency’s restrictions to renew their licenses.

Aside from the new legislation, the LTO also improved the quality of its driver’s licenses by introducing new security features. The old plastic cards were made from thermoformed and PVC, which did not have certain features. The new ones, made from polycarbonate, are more durable and have laser engraving.

The new legislation was led by Arthur Tugade, who was the Transportation Secretary. Edgar Galvante, the LTO’s chief assistant secretary for operations, was also involved in the bill’s rollout.

License & Permit Services:

Student Permit – A student license is a type of legal document that allows people to drive a car if the driver’s license of the accompanying non-professional is not issued by a licensed professional. Licenses for one year are only issued once. In addition to passing the tests, students must also complete other requirements such as driving lessons.

New Driver’s License (Non-Professional) – Although non-professional drivers are not allowed to operate private cars, they can still be hired to drive public utility vehicles. This includes bus, jeepney, and taxi drivers.

Conductor’s License – Conductor’s licenses are issued by the Land Transportation Office. These are only for bus conductors.

Plain or Advance Renewal of Driver’s/Conductor’s License and Renewal of Driver’s License of Filipino Living Abroad – The LTO allows people to renew their driver’s licenses up to 60 days before their expiration. But, they must not renew more than that amount of time since their birthdate is not changed.

Vehicle Registration Services:

Initial Registration of Motor Vehicle (MV) – Many people who bought new motor vehicles but didn’t register them are violating the LTO’s regulations. The initial registration process is the first step in establishing one’s ownership of a car, truck, motorcycle, or other vehicle. It can be done at the agency’s office or through a dealer.

Motorists in the Philippines must present various documents to the Land Transportation Office (LTO) in order to have their vehicle registered. These include proof of ownership, proof of road tax payment, and the registration fee. Once these documents have been verified, a Certificate Of Registration will be issued.

Renewal of Motor Vehicle (MV) Registration – In the Philippines, a vehicle registration can be renewed. This process can be done through the Land Transportation Office (LTO) or a motor dealer. A fee will be charged for the renewal.

Storage of Motor Vehicle – The LTO allows motorists to keep their vehicles in storage while they’re not using them. This type of certificate can be utilized in combination with a temporary permit to allow drivers to legally use their cars on Philippine roads.

If a person would like to remove their vehicle from storage, they must first apply for an official receipt, which will show that it was stored by the LTO.

Re-Stamping of Engine/Chasis Number – Every time a vehicle’s engine or chassis number is re-stamped by a body shop, the LTO issues an LRS (certificate of re-stamping). This document is used to identify the vehicles that LTO officials can legally use based on the documents’ original registration papers.

Request for Motor Vehicle Verification – This form is used by people who want to know if the vehicle they’re buying has been registered. It can also be used by those who have previously bought a car that requires LTO registration.

Motor Vehicle Inspection – An inspection report is a type of document that the LTO issues regarding a vehicle’s condition. It can be used to complete the registration process.

This is required for new and used vehicles. Before they can be registered, an inspection report must be presented to the LTO. This report must be issued by an authorized mechanic and be valid.

Motor Vehicle Inspection Schedule of Fees and Charges – You must pay the fee to have your vehicle inspected at the LTO. The amount varies depending on if you are registering a used or new car.

Law Enforcement:

Settlement of Admitted Apprehension – Those who are charged with a certain offense and admit to their wrongdoing can settle their cases by paying a fine or carrying out community service. The fine for this type of case can vary depending on the violation, and it can be much less than what’s paid in other similar cases.

Adjudication of Contested Apprehension – These are cases where people who dispute their liability for an offense go to court to argue their case. The adjudication process takes place before a judge, who rules in their favor after both parties present their evidence.

Encoding of Alarm – Those who want to have their case tried can do so through a trial. The process involves presenting evidence and asking witnesses to testify. If the judge rules in favor of the defendant, they don’t have to pay any fines or perform community service.

Filing of Complaint and Lifting of Alarm – If you would like to resolve the issue with your alarm, you have the option to file a complaint or lift it. However, you must first pay the fine.

Tips for Applying for Philippine Driver’s License

Do you want a simple driver’s license application? To avoid problems on the road, follow these guidelines:

  1. Appear presentable. You should not wear tank tops, shorts, or slippers if you are applying for a student permit.
  2. Download the form from the Internet and fill it out ahead of time. Even though forms are available at LTO offices, having a completed form with you is more efficient.
  3. Bring extra copies of any relevant documentation.
  4. Drivers taking practical exams should wear comfortable shoes.
  5. Remember basic driving skills and traffic laws. If you fail the written exam, you will be unable to obtain a driver’s license for at least one year.
  6. Bring water bottles and snacks with you. The application process can take up to a full day, depending on the amount of applicants.

Finally, there is no better advice than to stay as comfortable as possible while remaining focused! You’re about to make one of the most important decisions of your life. Make sure to arrive well-prepared and to drive safely!

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How can I renew my Driver’s License if I’m out of the country?

The LTO accepts applications for the renewal of driver’s licenses for foreign workers. An administrative order published on November 8, 1988, provides the requirements for validating an expired license.

This method entails presenting a set of requirements, which include the following:

Photocopies of Passport (first page, visa-page & departure page indicating the date of the last departure in the Phil. & date of last arrival overseas);

1.2. Letter of Authority to authorized representative;

1.3. Photo-copy of driver’s license and driver’s license receipt (DLR), if available;

1.4. Venues are:

(a) LTO, License Section Central Office – within National Capital Region

(b) Any LTO District Offices / Licensing Centers – Outside Metro Manila

1.5. The driver’s license shall be validated by issuing a driver’s license receipt (DLR) which will serve as temporary driver’s license (TDL);

1.6. The license shall present himself/herself within thirty (30) days upon arrival to the same office where the renewal was made for photo-taking and to submit the following;

(a) driver’s license;

(b) drug-test result;

(c) medical certificate;

(d) photo-copy of passport;

and then paying the fees that apply to your standing with the LTO.

2. I have a valid foreign driver’s license. Can I use it in the Philippines?

You must have a valid driver’s license within 90 days of your arrival. In addition, you will need to take a driving test depending on your country.

3. Can I convert my foreign driver’s license into a Philippine driver’s license?

If you can prove that you have a valid license, then you don’t need to take further testing. However, if it has already expired, then you would have to pass an exam.

4. I had a Philippine driver’s license before I went abroad. Could I still use it upon arrival in the Philippines? Which license am I going to use? My foreign driver’s license or any Philippine driver’s license?

You may drive with either of your licenses if both are valid. You must, however, first apply for a new license in compliance with Republic Act 4136, often known as the Land Transportation and Traffic Code.

It states that foreigners licensed to drive in the Philippines who have not yet returned home are only allowed to do so for 90 days after leaving the country.

5. What are the rules and procedures for obtaining a replacement driver’s license if one is ever lost?

The following steps must be done in order to apply for a replacement driver’s license:

a. Fill out the Affidavit of Loss and return it to your local police station.

b. Obtain permission from your local police station.

c. Go to your local LTO (Land Transportation Office) and fill out and submit an application for a duplicate driver’s license.

d. Pay the duplicate driver’s license processing and issuing fees.

6. I want to get an International Driver’s License. What are the requirements and procedures, and where am I going to apply?

Specifically for this question, you can seek additional information from the Automotive Association of the Philippines. The Land Transportation Office has only allowed this agency to issue International Driver’s Licenses. To receive an IDL, you must complete the following steps:

a. Schedule an appointment at your neighborhood AAA office

b. Complete and submit an application

c. Pay the necessary fees

7. I’m currently out of the country, and I would like to request copies of my driver’s license records in the Philippines. How can I obtain this?

You must first go to the LTO’s License Section in East Avenue, QC to apply for a driver’s license. The fee for certification is P100. You can also provide your name, birthday, and driver’s license no. if available, in your written request. The certification will be issued either through a representative or mail, depending on the authentication method.

8. How long does a driver’s license have to be lectured?

In order to be considered for lecture in the vehicle category, an original and a valid copy of a professional driver’s license are required.

Final Thoughts

The LTO has made it easier for Filipinos to renew their driver’s licenses. This new initiative will help reduce the queues at the agency’s offices and make the process faster.

Although not everyone can drive a car, having a 10-year license will allow them to enjoy lower insurance premiums and reduce their license renewal frequency. The LTO’s move is also beneficial for road safety and policies.

The LTO’s new system will help reduce road accidents and improve the safety of Filipinos. As more people get used to it, it will make renewing their licenses easier.
