    I renewed my driver's license at LTO Dumaguete in February 2022. So far so good, or not. Like a few years ago, they didn't have plastic cards. I only got a written confirmation. This is very annoying for me because I also need this driving license from time to time when I am abroad. Has anyone been to LTO recently, are the plastic cards available again?

    Last week. No, not available.
    Take picture of document, cover with plastic, tape and put in ur wallet. LTO might get around to fixing the plastic machine or putting plastic into it sometime this year.. Maybe next. <grin>

    Just ask when you can pick up a plastic in fused license and tell them you will be driving until said time. It's in the Computer records...Toilet paper, banana leaf. no matter .....it is captured. Drive as normal and the chance of you getting pulled over is about 90% .

    I went 3 days ago, the man told me to come back in September, I said to him I will come back after Christmas. I was not amused.

    Just renewed my license yesterday, printing machine still not working, they could not give me any idea when it will be running again, they said watch our Facebook page for an announcement. I would like to see anybody try to travel to the US and use this little receipt they give you as an ID, or try to rent a car with it. Machines in Cebu and in Sequijor are also not working or I would make a quick trip to get an actual plastic official license. Is there anybody home at LTO???

    I done mine a few weeks ago. 10 year license on plastic. Took about 2 hours in total, no fuss, very efficient.
    Location? LTO at SM Seaside, Cebu City.

    Same question here. Did all the tests, fingerprint etc. in April 2022 but there was no plastic. Went back late June. They said come back in September. All this in LTO Dumaguete. Is yours also from them and when did you get it ?

    My original license from the LTO Dumaguete about 4 1/2 years ago was on plastic. It was due to expire at the end of July this year but as they had no plastic licences available anywhere on Negros Oriental at that time I just took the night ferry to Cebu City, arrived about 7am and went straight to the LTO at SM Seaside. Two hours later I had my renewed 10 year license on plastic. Perhaps not a trip everybody would take but as I had other business there to attend to it made it worthwhile for me. I have to say that the service there was well organised and very efficient unlike the usual mayhem at Duma LTO.

    Thank you very much for this usefull info. I went to LTO Dumaguete yesterday. Sept. 13. Still no plastic. grrrrr. They just told the same story again like last time. Now I'm really fed up with these guys. I will go to Cebu as well. I could imagine I have to go thru the whole process again. Never mind, I need this licence. Now and not in 2024.......
