The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has extended the validity of the licenses for driving schools, driving school instructors, medical clinics, and physicians in the country.
In a memorandum dated September 29 and released on Friday, LTO Chief Vigor Mendoza II said the accreditation is extended to October 31 for licenses set to expire between July 2 and October 15 this year.
The memorandum was issued to all LTO regional offices, including the Central Accreditation Committee on Driving Schools and Medical Clinics (CAC-DSMC).
According to Mendoza, the extension aims to ‘ensure the continuous and unimpeded delivery of public services while supporting a seamless and efficient transition to the centralized accreditation system.’
‘This measure aligns with the ongoing implementation of the centralized accreditation system,’ he said.
During the extension period, the LTO chief said all relevant accreditations shall remain valid and active within the Land Transportation Management System.
He added that the validity must not be subject to automatic deactivation, provided that a ‘complete, compliant, and timely’ renewal application has been duly submitted to the CAC-DSMC, in accordance with applicable procedures.
All concerned offices, committees, and personnel are hereby directed to fully and strictly comply with the provisions, said Mendoza.
