Updated LTO Fees For Student Permits, New License Etc.

By Announcement PH Staff 26 Comments Filed Under: LTO, Public Info

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) is the body of the Philippine government who is tasked to govern all land vehicles in the country. The LTO is where you apply for a student’s permit or a student’s license; it is also where you will have that permit certified to become either a non-professional or a professional license.

But as time goes by, the processes, venues, and fees change. They change because they attempt to abide to both the needs and the wants of people. More so, some government processes change and that is why they change, too.

What are the new fees involved in getting licenses from the LTO?

If you are not aware, the driver’s license is not just the thing you can get from the Land Transportation Office (LTO); there are other things that they offer that you need to avail and apply for in certain scenarios.

Nevertheless, here are the new and updated LTO fees that you can utilize for your perusal:

For the Student’s Permit

The student’s permit is the permit that a future driver would be required to get if they plan on applying for a non-professional or professional license. Now you need to take a 15-hour Theoretical Driving Course (TDC) and obtain a certificate to get a Student Permit. You can get this for free if you take it to an LTO driving center that gives free training, list of LTO Driving Centers can be found here. If you take TDC on driving schools, here are the estimate that you need to spend on Student Permits.

New Student’s Permit
TDC P1,500
TDC Certificate P200
Medical Certificate P480
Student Permit P317.63
TOTAL P2,497.63

Application for new license

In this table, we will be giving you the updated list of the LTO fees for the different types of licenses which are non-professional license, professional license, and the conductor.
