    You don't need a OR/CR to get a license. There may be some restrictions on obtaining a license if you haven't been in country for awhile though.

    The thing is Dustin you do. You need to provide an up to date Registration of a motor vehicle before they release your Licence, Why I do not know? but that is how it is :pompus:

    Just try getting an appointment for a drivers licence now. A nightmare. If you fail the test you need to wait one month to re apply and if you fail again 1 year.

    I get my license (plastic card) late July they don't ask me for any registration OR/CR. Test and a temporary license were in November last year, wait 8 months, guess very normal. Nummer plates I wait 2 years several times and need to do some footwork before I got them

    I think we may be mixing license tags or number tags which some call license plates with license to drive. The two are not interdependent; one does not require another. Drivers licenses can be obtained at LTO with an approx 3 month delay for the plastic card with photo I’d. But no problem, you can just drive around with the original drivers license certificate. You are “certified” even if govt delays providing you with the plastic. Same with number tags. Just have private plates made like everyone else if your dealer plates are falling apart. It is not illegal to drive with them if your OR specifies that plates were not available. Neither is a problem here.

    3 years ago I got my conversion drivers licence which entitled to me drive a car but not a motorcycle. I wanted a motorcycle licence as well and asked; they told me to return one month later, which I did. When there at the final process, they wanted to inspect my motorcycle to which I said I don't have one but will get one as soon as I get a licence. They insisted on seeing my motorcycle and I kept repeating that because I have no licence I will not ride illegally so I need a licence before I buy. So he shrugged, charged me 150p with a receipt from "B Plus Driving Academy Inc." (in Manila) and then approved my motorcycle licence (which took about 12 months for the plastic to arrive) I did not and do not understand the insistence on seeing my bike but got through it by holding firm that I did not own one at the time but would buy once a licence was issued. Hope this helps but honestly for me it is one of life's little mysteries.
