The agency also advised the motorists to coordinate with their nearest LTO offices or visit its official social media pages for verified information.

The LTO earlier announced that it extended for three months the validity of licenses and registrations starting April 2026, which covers driver’s licenses, conductor’s licenses, student permits, and motor vehicle registrations. During this period, the LTO has waived penalties for late renewal of these documents.

The LTO noted that the directive to extend the validity period was in line with the declaration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. of national energy emergency amid the rising of fuel prices due to the Middle East conflict. /mr
