In consideration of those affected by recent typhoons and the earthquake that jolted Cebu, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) has extended the validity of motor vehicle registrations and driver’s licenses that expired on Sept. 30.
LTO chief Vigor Mendoza II said he has directed all regional and district offices to implement the extension and to waive fines or surcharges for late renewals.
‘This is in consideration of the cancellations of government work caused by the recent typhoons and the earthquake that struck Cebu,’ Mendoza said in a statement.
He said the move is part of the LTO’s efforts to ease the burden on the public, particularly motorists who were unable to process their license and registration renewals.
The LTO also extended until Oct. 15 the settlement of traffic apprehension fines.
