The Land Transportation Office (LTO) Koronadal City refers to the set of three (3) LTO offices based in Koronadal City, South Cotabato: the LTO Koronadal City District Office, LTO Koronadal City Licensing Center, and the LTO DLRO Gaisano Mall – Koronadal City. Like the other LTO branches in the Philippines, the LTO Koronadal City offices were created so the Secretariat can offer fast, convenient, accessible, and affordable LTO services to the local residents. These LTO offices were also opened to better monitor and regulate all the local and visiting drivers, car owners, and operators, and to better watch over the vehicle use and the entire land transport service in Koronadal City and its geographical area of responsibility (GAOR). The LTO, through these branch offices, also keeps its presence alive within the local land transport sector. Plus, the close proximity ensures that the core programs and services of the LTO reach the very people—both drivers and pedestrians—whom the agencies want to serve and keep safe.
Located within a wide expanse of agricultural fields that are close to the markets of General Santos City and neighboring towns, Koronadal city is an ideal location for businesses ranging from small to large enterprises. That said it isn’t surprising that the city is home to many shopping malls in South Cotabato, as well as to provincial or regional branches of private and public offices like the LTO. Plus, it is also the center of tourism economic activity and the main shopping hub for nearby municipalities and provinces, making it a great spot.
What is LTO Koronadal City?
LTO Koronadal City refers to the set of three (3) LTO offices stationed in the City of Koronadal, which is geographically grouped under South Cotabato: the LTO Koronadal City District Office (DO), LTO Koronadal City Licensing Center (LC), and the LTO DLRO Gaisano Mall – Koronadal City. These LTO offices serve as the local frontliners of the LTO Central Office and are tasked with offering various LTO programs and services and bringing them within the reach of the local transacting public in the City of Koronadal. Through these offices as well, the LTO brings most of its core programs and services together as an agency and makes them available and accessible to the locals who need them, particularly to those who work behind the wheels.
These LTO offices in Koronadal City include:
LTO Koronadal City District Office (DO)
The Koronadal City District Office (DO) is the main operating arm and the go-to office for people with LTO-related needs in this shopping city in South Cotabato.

LTO Koronadal City Licensing Center (LC)
The LTO Koronadal City Licensing Center (LC) is an LTO agency in Koronadal City meant to serve as the agency’s off-site license printing office. Located in Jaycee Avenue, the LTO Koronadal City Licensing Center (LC) was created with the intention of making the processing of LTO licensing and licensing renewal services faster and more convenient for the people, especially to those who work behind the wheels.
LTO DLRO Gaisano Mall – Koronadal City
In an effort to improve the service delivery and processes of the LTO as a step towards continuous modernization, the agency has created and opened the LTO DLRO Gaisano Mall Koronadal City. This LTO DLRO is a sub-office of the LTO meant to carry out its license renewal programs and services in Koronadal City, from its location in Gaisano Mall, so the agency can cater to more client concerns and bring its services closer to the public. Through this LTO DLRO in Gaisano Mall Koronadal City, the LTO also offers more convenient services with the waiting period shortened through a systematic procedure.
