LTO PITX now open on Saturdays

Residents of Paranaque and nearby areas may no longer need to take a day off to renew or apply for driver's licenses.

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) Licensing Center in the Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX), which was opened last February, will begin its Saturday operations this June 11.

Located on the second floor of the PITX, the LTO Licensing Center can now cater to applications for Student Permits, Non-Professional and Professional Driver's Licenses (new and renewals), change classification, additional restriction codes, duplicate licenses, and other miscellaneous transactions from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays.

According to the LTO, applicants don't have to schedule their visits for their licensing needs. They just have to make sure that they've read all the qualifications and requirements along with the necessary documents for a hassle-free visit. In addition, there's also a driving school and a medical clinic within the PITX premises should customers need one.

Together with the extended validity of expiring licenses announced by the LTO this month, license holders especially from the Pasay and Paranaque areas now have more days to renew their cards. We hope LTO does the same for other licensing centers.
