What is LTO Marikina?
LTO Marikina refers to either one or both of the two (2) LTO branches located in the City of Marikina. These offices were meant to bring the LTO services—ranging from inspection and registration of motor vehicles to the issuance of license and permits, and the enforcement of land transportation rules and regulations—closer to the people of the City of Marikina in a bid to carry out their main job as a government agency in the Philippines.
LTO Marikina District Office
Much like any LTO District Office, the LTO Marikina District Office is an extension of the agency. It is the primary operating arm of the agency in the local area of the city of Marikina and is tasked with offering the agency’s core programs and services, in such a way that they may engage the locals, carry out their mandate in the surrounding communities, and much more.
Located right at the city center, in JP Rizal, Brgy. Sto. Niño, the LTO Marikina District Office is in close proximity to the city hall and some of the major establishments in the area, along with the universities that are located in the same city. Needless to say, the LTO Marikina District Office is in a great spot, right at the heart of the city, in close proximity to the people they want to serve.
LTO DLRO Robinsons Metro East
Established in 2007, the Driver’s License Renewal Office (DLRO) Robinsons Metro East was created as part of the Service Improvement Program of the Land Transportation Office.

Located on the Basement level of Robinsons Metro East, this LTO office offers Student Permit and Driver’s License Renewal with Revision of Records-Change Address.

This is especially so when they need to comply with the rules and regulations that the LTO put in place themselves, like the need to secure a driver’s license or a student permit and to get their MV or MC registered first before getting on the roads.

Marikina City started out as a rural settlement, before it became the designated provincial capital of the then-province of Manila. In recent years, Marikina has seen tremendous commercial and industrial growth, resulting in it being one of the cities with the wealthiest local government units in the country.
In terms of geography, Marikina City is located along the eastern border of Metro Manila, serving as the main gateway of Metro Manila to Rizal and Quezon provinces through the Marikina–Infanta Highway. It is bordered by different HUCs: Quezon City in the west, Pasig and Cainta In the south, San Mateo in the north, and Antipolo, the capital of Rizal province, in the east.
