LTO Tracker: How to Track Your Driver’s License and Plate Number Online

The LTO Tracker is an online platform jointly developed by the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and the Department of Transportation (DOTr) that allows motorists in the Philippines to check the availability and delivery status of their driver’s license and vehicle plate number in real-time without the hassle of repeated LTO trips.

If you’ve been waiting for your driver’s license or vehicle plate number and don’t want to keep making trips to the LTO just to check, the LTO Tracker now offers a convenient, transparent, and secure way to monitor the status of your license or plate from your phone or computer — and even have it delivered right to your doorstep, allowing you to save time and avoid the stress of long queues.

The LTO Tracker is a convenient, transparent, and secure online platform that allows motorists in the Philippines to check the availability and delivery status of their driver’s license and vehicle plate number online in real-time. Through this online LTO tracker, users can:

  • Search for license and plate availability
  • Request home delivery via LTO-accredited couriers
  • Track delivery progress online

Note that despite the availability of options to deliver the license via the LTO tracker, foreign driver’s license conversions are still not eligible for delivery and must be sent through the Philippine Postal Service as per the LTO memorandum dated December 23, 2019.

What Is it For?

The online LTO tracker was created for:

  • Convenience: Check status anytime, anywhere.
