Cebu LTO Fees when Getting a Driver's License

Here are usual payments for getting a driver's license in Cebu LTO:

1. For document/receipt printing (I forgot what it was) - P167.63 (round off to 168)

2. Restriction code 1 (for motorcycles) - P150.00

3. Restriction code 2 (for four wheel vehicles) - P350.00

4. For the plastic license - P418 (this was rounded off since they don't give you coin change)

Total: P1,086.00

I am able to provide the Code 12 since my application was for non-professional driver's license only.

For those who are planning the fixer's route, here are the usual fees:

1. Fixer number 1 who approached me - P2,500 and I was able to haggle for P2,300

2. Fixer number 2 who my seatmate dealt with - P2,600

So on top of the medical and drug test payments (roughly P350-400 only), and the fees paid inside the LTO office, the above amounts are to be paid to fixers directly. Please do the math because I'm too lazy to let my brain work with numbers.

BTW, I did not go the fixer's route (Kudos to me!). So details of the exam and practical driving will be provided next post.

Getting a Driver's License in Cebu LTO

Unawesome. That's how my day went at LTO Cebu to get a new non-professional driver's license. Having filed a much challenging leave from my work, I went there past 9am only to be told by the guard that they can't accept any more applicants because their morning allocation of 20 people are already full. So I inquired if I could wait for the 2nd batch which is from 12.30-1.30 and he said, it's already full as well. I should have gone earlier at 6 or 7am maybe. Well, aside from wishing they could have allocated more applicants daily, I wouldn't have mind going there earlier- HAD I KNOWN THEIR SCHEDULE beforehand. 

See, I've done my research well (that's how I'm paid-researching), on the needed requirements when getting a driver's license but there was no warning about a certain time and the certain people that they will accept within a day. Once again, this is very typical of a government agency, eh? And this is just the start of today's unawesomeness, actually. Wonder about the differences in the real fees and those with the fixers'? I'll give you insights next post. 

As for now, good night Netizens!
