MANILA — The Land Transportation Office (LTO) district and extension offices in Metro Manila are now open on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., providing greater accessibility for those unable to visit during weekdays.
This change, which started August 31, comes in response to increasing demand for driver’s licenses, license renewals, and vehicle registrations, as well as the LTO’s ongoing efforts to address a backlog that has persisted since 2023.
