Considering the ongoing surge in COVID-19 cases and the arrival of the Omicron variant, it’s understandable if fulfilling some nagging Land Transportation Office (LTO) requirements is currently the last thing on many motorists’ minds. The agency knows this, and is adjusting accordingly.
In a Facebook post, the LTO announced that it is extending the validity of student permits, medical certificates, and conductor’s licenses expiring in the first quarter of 2022.
All of the said documents will be valid for another two months past their date of expiration. If your student permit expires in February, for example, the LTO will recognize it until April 30, 2022. (Topgear PH News)
