Philippines Life: Renew Expired Drivers License at SM Mall Cebu City I recently went to the LTO office at the SM Mall here in Cebu City to get my expired Philippines drivers license renewed. It was a rather easy task but took most of the day to get accomplished. I didn't get any video while there but figured I should do a video on it anyway.

I would like to share my experience about renewing driver's license at SM Manila's DLRC (Driver's License Renewal Center), which is located at the 5th floor, last October 17, 2016. Sorry, no photos, though. I arrived at SM Manila at around 9:45am since I wanted to get ahead of the long line and finish early. Unfortunately, the mall opens at exactly 10am and by the time I got to the entrance, there was already a long line outside the building. There is a separate line for males and females, while there is a special line for senior citizens. After the mall opened, I immediately went to the DLRC.
Since it was still early, the number of other applicants was tolerable (there were probably around 10-20 people already ahead of me). The office is not so big and the number of chairs were limited, so a lot of the applicants had to remain standing.
Driver's License Renewal Center Sm Manila
Make sure to bring a pen since you will be filling out some forms. These are the steps that I undertook in order to renew my non-professional license: (Note that these steps may vary, depending on the branch.) 1) Surrender the old license to the front/receiving desk and get a copy of the ADL (Application for Driver's License) form.
2) Fill out the ADL form or you can also download and print from LTO's website) and submit to Evaluator Window. 3) Wait for your name to be called for the medical exam (vision test) in one corner of the office. You would just be required to read a bunch of letters from a certain distance. This cost P200. 4) Wait for your name to be called again for your photo and signature to be taken. 5) Wait for your name to be called again to pay at the Cashier.
Since the day of my renewal was the start of the 5-year validity period, the cost was P652 (P585 license fee + P67 computer fee) instead of the usual P417 (3-year validity). I didn't mind the additional payment in exchange for the extra two years. 6) Wait for your name to be called again. Since there were no available ID cards, I only got my official receipt, which would serve as my proof of license. It would also be what I would present to claim my ID card when they become available. In total, I spent around an hour to finish the process.
The later you arrive, the longer the line ahead of you, and the more time it would take to complete your renewal, so my advice would be to go there early (unless you're a senior citizen, in which case you might get special treatment, hehe). For inquiries, you may contact SM Manila's DLRC at (02) 525-2646.
Hope my info helps. Feel free to share your experience.

As freelancers, we don’t have many valid IDs available to us during the times that we need them. Comparing ourselves with our corporate counterparts, they have their SSS and company ID’s automatically given to them by their employers.
Meanwhile, we freelancers don’t and here are some of the cases when we will need a valid ID:. Opening a bank account.
Opening a utility account (mobile, phone, cable, electricity, water, etc.). Applying for a credit card or a loan (personal, car and home). Buying a large ticket item like a TV, smartphone or laptop using a credit card. Checking in at a hotel. And a lot more One of the most common and most important valid IDs here in the Philippines is the Driver’s License. Sample Philippine Non-Professional Driver’s License (photo credit: manilainformer.com) A Driver’s License is one thing that you should always have in your wallet, even if you are not a driver, especially for the cases mentioned above.
Now, renewing a driver’s license is not a walk in the park. Although the Land Transportation Office (LTO), the government body responsible for issuing the driver’s license, has extended its expiration from 3 to 5 years, renewing the Driver’s License has traditionally been a pain. Since I started driving 20 plus years ago, I have had my share of bad experiences — from waiting more than half a day, to the computer system crashing, to waiting under the heat of the sun, and to dealing with annoying fixers. But those days are almost now gone as the current and past administrations have been slowly fixing and streamlining the renewal process. And I was glad to experience a painless renewal process at the LTO branch in Robinsons Galleria. The LTO Drivers License Renewal Office inside Robinsons Galleria Mall.
Now, just to be clear, this is my personal experience and I am not guaranteeing that this will be the same for you. The LTO branch is conveniently located inside the Robinsons Galleria mall, so you know that you will not be sweaty and basking under the heat of the sun. The mall opens at 10am and so does the LTO branch. Since I wanted to be over and done with quickly, I was at the mall way before 10am (thank God for Starbucks).
When the mall opened, I rushed to the ground floor of Robinsons Galleria and went first to the medical exam area right beside the LTO office. The medical diagnostics center and LTO Branch are beside each other. And you know whatI was the first in line. Now, here are the steps that I took to renew my driver’s license: Step 1: Medical Exam So I paid the P350 medical exam fee and waited for just about 10 minutes and I was called for the medical exam. The exam involved just checking my eyesight and getting my blood pressure reading.
It was over in 10 minutes. (They actually removed the questionable drug testing procedure where you are asked to submit a urine sample). The medical exam procedure signage. Step 2: LTO Evaluator When that was done, I went to the LTO Evaluator in Window 1 to present my old license and a receipt from the medical exam office. I was asked to wait for my name to be called. Step 3: Photo and Digital Signature I waited for about 15 minutes, then my name was called by Window 2, where my photo and digital signature were taken. It took just 2 minutes.
Windows 1, 2 and 3. Step 4: Cashier I was again asked to wait for my name to be called.
There are rows of chairs in front of the windows, so you can just conveniently wait and as I said earlier, it is comfortable because the mall’s air condition system is already turned on. (The chairs were not that comfortable though.) Rows of chairs in front of the LTO branch. Now, although I was the first in line, LTO gave priority to a pregnant lady, which was totally fine with me. Thus, I waited for another 15 minutes, and my name was called by the cashier at Window 3. I paid the total amount of P727.63, which is composed of the license fee of P585.00, penalty of P75 and computer fee of P67.63 (the penalty was for being late by 10 days and the amount will be the same if you are late for 1 day to 1 year). The cashier gave me an Official Receipt and gave me back my old license (OR below is just a sample and it’s not mine).
Sample Offcial Receipt from the LTO. They said the OR will serve as my temporary license until the actual card is released and gave me a telephone number to call to follow up on the card. And that was it!
That was my driver’s license renewal experience which took less than one hour, in the most convenient fashion. Just to give you an idea, 2 months ago, I took my wife to an LTO office in Paranaque, and it was very far from my experience in Galleria. The wait was 3 freakin’ hours, the office was packed with people, air conditioning was bad and there was no distinct queueing system. That’s why I believe that my personal LTO experience was the best so far and I hope that this will serve as a guide for you when your renewal time comes.
Do you think your LTO experience is better than mine? Please share in the comments box below.
