LTO PORTAL Guide: How to Register in LTMS Portal Online

In a bid to offer the public 24/7 access to LTO services, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) has adapted to the Internet age and created their new online system, the Land Transport Management System (LTMS) Portal online—a one-stop online shop that integrates all LTO services in a single contactless database system and digital platform. It was rolled out to the public in 2020, and has since become an essential part of every LTO transaction nationwide.

The LTMS portal online was created with the user’s convenience in mind, so it was made to work on all kinds of devices: from desktop and laptop computers to tablets and smartphones. It was also developed so the portal won’t lose any of its features regardless of the type of device it was accessed from so users can view and access all of LTO’s motoring regulatory services and processes related to land transportation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

To learn more, here are some of the most common questions and answers about the LTMS portal:

1. Is it free to register at the LTMS portal online? 

Yes. Registration at the LTMS portal online is free of charge and does not cost anything. If anyone tells you otherwise, it’s most likely a scam or a fixer trying to rip you off. The use of the platform does not come with any cost, along with some services like accessing the e-learning materials, taking the Comprehensive Driver’s Education (CDE) Online Validation exam, and getting a CDE certificate.

2. Why do I need to register for an account at the LTO LTMS portal?

If you need to transact with the Land Transportation Office (LTO), then you need an LTMS account. It’s a must to register for one before visiting your preferred LTO branch. Some transactions like getting a driver’s license or processing your vehicle registration, regardless of whether you are applying for a new one or renewing an existing or expired license, also require an LTMS portal online account. You will also need an account on the LTMS portal if you are taking the Comprehensive Driver’s Education (CDE) online validation exam which is a mandatory requirement when securing a driver’s license.

3. What should I do if I didn’t receive a verification email after creating an LTO portal account? 

If you register for an account on the LTMS portal online, then you need to wait for up to 24 hours to complete the verification process. The verification link will be sent to you via email so you have to make sure you entered an active email address. You also need to check the other folders including the Spam folder in case you don’t see the email in your inbox. If, after 24 hours, you still haven’t received an email containing the LTMS registration verification link, then you may already register for a new account since it is highly likely that your registration was unsuccessful.

If you try to register for an LTMS portal online account again and you encounter the same problem and can’t complete the registration process, then you may reach out to LTO LTMS Client Care by clicking on the Contact Us tab (https://portal.lto.gov.ph/ords/f?p=PUBLIC_PORTAL:CONTACT_US:3067547565022:::::) and filling out the form with the information on your concerns or the problems you encountered. 

You may also visit the nearest LTO branch if you have the time and you require faster assistance regarding your LTMS registration-related issues. Once there, you simply need to secure an LTO client number, which you can use to access your LTMS portal account.

4. How can I verify my mobile number?

Verifying your mobile number linked to your LTMS portal account requires linking of the mobile number. Once you do, you should receive a code which you will need to input in the LTMS portal. For guidance on how to do so, you may simply follow these steps: 

  • Log into your LTO online account via the LTMS portal. 
  • Click Profile. 
  • Under the Contact tab, click the Verify New Mobile Number. 
  • Enter the code sent to your mobile number. 
  • Click Verify.

5. I forgot my LTMS account password. How do I reset it?

If you forgot or lost your LTMS account password, you may reset it by clicking the “Forgot Password” link available on the login page. Once you do, you will be required to key in your nominated email address or LTO client number and click “OK.” You should receive an email containing a link allowing you to set a new password for your account.

6. Is there any way to change my email address?

No. As of writing, the LTMS portal does not yet allow changing your registered email. The portal also doesn’t offer an option to do so. Even reaching out to the LTO Client Care won’t help you so you need to make sure your email address is valid and active before registering for an account using your preferred email address. Though there is no option for a change in email address, the portal allows changing your nominated mobile number where your LTO LTMS SMS notifications will be sent.

7. What documents can be viewed and accessed through the LTMS Portal?

Once you register for an account on the LTMS portal online, you may be able to access everything that you have uploaded on the platform under your account.
