Motorists renewing their driver’s licenses can now enjoy a faster and more convenient process, as the Land Transportation Office (LTO) has shifted to an online renewal system, Malacañang announced on Thursday.

In a press briefing, Presidential Communications Undersecretary and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said the migration to online registration is in line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive to streamline government processes and make them more accessible.

“Sa administrasyon ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., hindi na kailangang pumila pa sa LTO ang mga magre-renew ng kanilang driver’s license sa ilalim ng Online Driver’s License Renewal System ng DOTR,” Castro said.

The Online Driver’s License Renewal System (ODLRS) was officially launched on July 10 by the Department of Transportation (DOTr). The system aims to simplify the license renewal process, lessen physical transactions, and enhance accessibility for Filipinos nationwide.

The online driver’s license renewal is among the online application processes available through the eGov PH app.

The eGov PH app serves as a digital one-stop shop, allowing users to access various government services through their mobile devices.

Castro said that renewing a driver’s license through the ODLRS can take as little as 15 minutes. The system also gives motorists the option to have their renewed license delivered to their home.

“Patunay lamang ang programang ito na sa ilalim ng Marcos administration, hindi imposible ang pagbibigay ng mas mabilis at mas magaan na serbisyo para sa bawat Pilipino sa ilalim ng Bagong Pilipinas,” Castro said. | PND
