Digital Driver’s License Renewal Now Available on eGovPH App

The Land Transportation Office (LTO), in partnership with the Department of Transportation (DoTr) and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), has officially launched the Online Driver’s License Renewal System (ODLRS) through the eGovPH mobile app, available on both Android and iOS devices. This is part of the government’s push for a fully digital driver’s license renewal process in the Philippines.

What the New LTO Online Renewal System Offers

• 100% online driver’s license renewal—Drivers no longer need to visit an LTO office, wait in long lines, or risk dealing with fixers. As DoTr Secretary Vince Dizon emphasized:
  
  “You don’t need to go to the LTO. And you won’t be victimized by fixers.”
  
  
• Complete end-to-end online process: Motorists can now do their telemedicine-based medical exam, complete the mandatory five-hour Online Driver’s Enhancement Program (DEP), upload license images, take a new photo, and pay fees—all through the eGovPH app.
  
  
• Fast license delivery: Once your renewal is processed, you’ll get a digital driver’s license instantly in the app. Meanwhile, the physical driver’s license card can be picked up at your nearest LTO District Office or delivered to your doorstep within 72 hours.

What’s Next for LTO Digital Services

The LTO Philippines plans to expand its digital services to cover online vehicle registration, new driver’s license applications, and other motor vehicle-related transactions. The DICT also hinted that more government agencies like CHED, BIR, TESDA, and PhilHealth will be integrated into the eGovPH app, creating a one-stop hub for key government services in the Philippines.
