What is Driver’s Reorientation Course (DRC)

The Driver’s Reorientation Course (DRC) is just one part of the Driving Enhancement Program (DEP) offered by the Land Transportation Office (LTO) or a duly accredited service provider to Filipino drivers. The course is especially designed as a corrective measure of sorts for license holders, professional or otherwise, who have had at least five (5) demerit points, and who intend to renew their licenses.

The course is also mandated by law as condition precedent to Driver’s License renewal of those with ten (10) accumulated demerit points or whenever the same violation is committed for at least three (3) times during the validity of the driver’s license.

Unlike the Comprehensive Driver’s Education (CDE) Course of the DEP, the Driver’s Reorientation Course (DRC) is not a course for everyone. It is especially reserved for those with driving or traffic violations. It is also similar to the Comprehensive Driver’s Education (CDE) in the sense that the licensees need to apply for and complete the Driver’s Reorientation Course (DRC) before they are allowed to renew their driver’s licenses. It also culminates with a written exam that attendees need to take and pass as well.

What is DRC

DRC stands for Driver’s Reorientation Course—a course designed in compliance with Section 14 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Republic Act No. 10930. It is a mandatory requirement for the renewal of a driver’s license with at least five (5) demerit points. It also serves as a condition precedent to driver’s license renewal for those who had accumulated at least ten (10) demerit points or who had committed the same violation for at least three (3) times during the validity of the driver’s license.

The DRC, unlike the CDE, requires a set number of training hours that must be completed before they can fully claim to have completed the DRC and secure a certificate of completion. As an intervention program, it is usually paired with the Theoretical Driving Course (TDC) and also culminates in a written examination. Meanwhile, public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers who have committed franchise-related violation shall be required to undergo another intervention program in the form of a training-seminar conducted by the PUV Drivers’ Academy of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) along with the DRC. Failure to complete the courses would entail license suspension until the required attendance to the courses is complied with.

Purpose

The Driver’s Reorientation Course is a refresher course meant to remind licensed drivers with a long list of violations about the basics of driving and road safety. It is given as a penalty and disciplinary education and was designed for drivers who accumulated five (5) or more demerit points within the validity period of their licenses.

Annotation and Cancellation of Mortgage for Motor Vehicles 

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) also offers services like annotation and cancellation of mortgage for motor vehicles (MV). This service is particularly important as doing so will officially transfer the ownership of an encumbered motor vehicle to your name, making you the official MV owner. 

This service is particularly important in the advent of secured and credit auto loans. Nowadays, many vehicles are acquired through loans, which means a lot of them are encumbered, requiring the owner to process the annotation and cancellation of [chattel] mortgage and get their name placed as the owner of the vehicle.

annotation and cancellation of mortgage of car motor vehicle

What is ‘Certificate of Registration Encumbered’ (CRE)

Vehicles bought through the bank or via a lending company do not get a regular Certificate of Registration (CR). Instead, the owner gets a Certificate of Registration Encumbered (CRE)—an MV registration document that puts the lender as the owner of the vehicle instead of the buyer until such time that the buyer has completely repaid the loan.

The CRE is issued to prove that the motor vehicles or other items of movable personal property, or chattel, is subject to Chattel Mortgage or is used to secure the loan. It also means that the lender who released the funds needed to purchase the vehicle holds an ownership interest in it. Once the buyer has fully repaid the loan, then it is the only time that their name will be placed as the owner of the vehicle. Until then, the MV is registered in the Chattel Mortgage Register as security for the performance of an obligation. 

How to Check if a Car is Encumbered

To check if the vehicle is encumbered, you simply need to check the Certificate of Registration (CR). You can tell that the CR is actually a CRE if there is an annotation on it that says “encumbered.”

Where to File for the Annotation and Cancellation of Mortgage 

Cancellation of the Mortgage is done at the Registry of Deeds, but filing for annotation and cancellation of Chattel Mortgage can be done at the LTO. However, it can’t just be any LTO office. Changing the registration status of your motor vehicle has to be done at the originating LTO branch office, or the LTO office stated on the Certificate of Registration (CR). This means that if the CR says LTO Manila, it has to be done at LTO Manila. Going to any other LTO branch will simply make you waste your time, effort, and money.

Requirements for Filing for Annotation and Cancellation of Mortgage

Before going to the LTO, you will need to secure and prepare the following documentary requirements to avoid the hassle of having to come back to continue the process. 

The requirements are as follows:

  • Original and a photocopy of the Loan Contract

  • Chattel Mortgage Form

  • Two (2) of the following valid government-issued photo ID from the registered car owner
    • Driver’s License

    • Philippine Passport

    • Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) ID

    • SSS ID

    • GSIS ID

    • BIR ID

    • TIN ID

    • Voter’s ID

  • Taxpayer’s Identification Number (TIN)

Once these documents are ready, you may now go to the bank or the lending company who financed your loan to obtain these additional documentary requirements:

  • Original Certificate of Registration (CR) of the vehicle 

  • Latest original and photocopy of the Official Receipt (OR) of payment for the vehicle

  • Chattel Mortgage Contract duly-annotated or stamped by the Registry of Deeds (RD)

How to File for Annotation and Cancellation of Mortgage for Motor Vehicles

To file for annotation and cancellation of Chattel Mortgage for your vehicle upon paying off your auto loan, then here are the steps to follow: 

Step 1. Make sure that your registration is up-to-date and that there are no pending penalties on the documents. 

Check whether the registration is up-to-date and if the vehicle is free from violations and penalties. Do not forget to also check for any discrepancies on the documents. Get the bank or the lending company to correct the documents (if needed) and confirm its availability for pick-up. Some buyers, especially for pre-owned vehicles, forget to check these things, resulting in more problems and hefty fees later on.

Step 2. Secure and prepare the documentary requirements.

Prepare the required documents and make sure you get them duplicated properly. Some documents need to be photocopied so make sure you have enough duplicates for record keeping and for submission. You will also need to get the other documents notarized, so make sure you have enough funds to do so. 

Step 3. Check the office of the Registry of Deeds (RD) where you should cancel the mortgage.

Once you have the documents prepared, proceed to the Registry of Deeds (RD) where the mortgage was registered. You should see this in the stamp on the original Registered Promissory Note with Chattel Mortgage. If it isn’t, it should also be in the original CR under the space for RD.

Step 4. Accomplish the necessary forms and submit the requirements at the designated RD.

At the RD office, you will be asked to fill out a form then submit it together with the following documents:

  • Original Registered Promissory Note with Chattel Mortgage

  • Release of Chattel Mortgage 

  • One (1) copy of your two (2) valid IDs (Driver’s License, Philippine Passport, PRC ID, SSS ID, GSIS ID, BIR ID, TIN ID, Voter’s ID).

Step 5. Before it can be processed, you will be asked to pay for some fees at the cashier—the amount of which will vary depending on the amount of your mortgage.

Processing Time for Cancellation of Mortgage

The processing time for the cancellation of the chattel mortgage may vary depending on the branch and whether the person who will sign is present at the time. That said, the processing time for the cancellation of the chattel mortgage at the Registry of Deeds could range anytime from a few hours to about two to three days.

Step 6. Once you receive the official document for the Cancellation of Chattel Mortgage, you may proceed to the designated Land Transportation Office (LTO) branch to have it removed from your vehicle’s Certificate of Registration (CR). 

Step 7. At the designated LTO branch, tell the personnel that you would like to process the cancellation of encumbrance for your vehicle.

Step 8. Proceed to the transaction counters and submit all the following documents to the Evaluator for evaluation and computation of fees. 

  • Release of Chattel Mortgage (duly stamped by the Register of Deeds) 

  • Official Receipt from when you paid for the cancellation.

Step 9. Once completed, proceed to the actual inspection of motor vehicles with duly accomplished MVIR (Motor Vehicle Inspection Report).

Step 10. Proceed to the Cashier when your name is called for the necessary fees and obtain an Official Receipt (OR).

Step 11. Surrender the Original LTO Certificate of Registration with “Encumbered” on it.

Step 12. Wait for the LTO personnel to print out a new LTO Certificate of Registration (CR) without the “Encumbered” annotation on it.

Step 13. Proceed to the Releasing Counter when your name is called to obtain the Certificate of Registration (CR), plates, stickers, and other requested documents.

Note: You will also need to pay for the new Certificate of Registration (CR) without the “Encumbered” annotation. The price ranges from P280.00 to P350.00.

Important Reminders

For your reference, here are some reminders worth taking note of.

  • The process involves two (2) steps: cancellation of mortgage and official removal of the encumbered annotation from the LTO Certificate of Registration.

This process ensures that the vehicle ownership is transferred to the buyer after paying for the loan in full. It also ensures that the motor vehicle is removed from the Chattel Mortgage Register and that it would no longer serve as the collateral for the loan taken out by the buyer. Not only that, it is also a required procedure in order to replace your LTO CRE with an LTO CR.

The process for annotation and cancellation of Chattel Mortgage involves both the procedure for cancellation of mortgage and the official removal of the encumbered annotation from the LTO Certificate of Registration. It starts with the cancellation of the mortgage first so the car owner will have the requirements for the removal of the encumbered annotation from the CR and a new CR can be issued.
