San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora, together with Land Transportation Office (LTO) Asec. Markus Lacanilao led the launch of the agency's newest district office in San Juan City on Tuesday, Oct. 21, promising a more efficient and streamlined delivery of LTO services to San Juaneños.
Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) Chairman Vigor Mendoza II and San Juan City Rep. Bel Zamora were also present during the opening of the facility located along N. Domingo Avenue.
Following the opening ceremony, the officials held a walkthrough of the new facilities and the distribution of certificates for the Free Theoretical Driving Course, tricycle plates, and Palit Plaka Program.
"The establishment of the LTO – San Juan District Office marks another milestone in the city’s commitment to delivering accessible and efficient government services to its constituents. The new office houses several accredited facilities offering a range of services designed to make licensing, registration, and compliance more convenient for motorists and residents," Zamora explained.
Among the services offered are the Driver’s License and Permits Processing for new applications and renewals, and Motor Vehicle Registration and Renewal, which includes transactions such as transfer of ownership, duplicate CR/OR issuance, and record revisions.
The LTO-Accredited Driving School will provide the 15-hour Theoretical Driving Course (TDC) required for Student Permit applications and the 8-hour Practical Driving Course (PDC) for Non-Professional and Professional Driver’s License applications and renewals.
Additionally, the LTO-Accredited Medical Clinic will issue medical certificates required for all driver’s license applications and renewals, while the LTO-Accredited Insurance Provider will offer CTPL (Compulsory Third-Party Liability) Insurance Policies needed for motor vehicle registration and renewal.
The Private Emission Testing Center (PETC) will also operate within the complex, issuing Certificates of Emission Compliance (CEC) as part of the vehicle registration and renewal requirements.
"Through this initiative, the City of San Juan continues to strengthen its partnerships with national agencies to ensure that public service remains convenient, efficient, and closer to the people," Zamora noted.
