How much is a Philippine driver's license? What is the specific process

Many people who play, work and live in the Philippines will choose to take a Philippine driver's license. There are many things to pay attention to when taking a Philippine driver's license. How much is the Philippine driver's license? Now let's learn more about it.

Philippine driver's license test process
1. Go to LTO (land transportation office) to apply for "study permit". A Philippine work visa is required and is valid for more than half a year.
2. After arriving at LTO, fill in the application form and submit it at the designated window. Then, conduct a simple interview, verify your identity, and use your passport and work visa (yellow card and blue card). Interview + photo taking + fingerprint + signature, and then pay the fee, within 200peso, peso and RMB, expected to be 8:1. Remember to listen to the radio when you accept it. If you don't have one more hour, you can do it. Remember to keep the registration notes and student ID cards, which will be checked later.
3. Get the student certificate and start to apply for the driving test. There is a one month learning period in the middle, which is a mandatory one month period. You can apply to the driving school. If your family and friends have a car, you can practice independently without accidents.
4. The test is divided into written test and road test. Just review the written test by yourself. There are 40 questions in total, all of which are multiple-choice questions, and the last 10 questions must be sign recognition. These 10 questions are basically given points, because almost all traffic signs are pasted on the wall of the examination room. The remaining 30 questions are also some basic traffic rules, most of which are international. For example, what do the solid lines, dotted lines and double yellow lines on the road mean? If the Chinese answer wrong, they usually don't understand the meaning of the English question... In general, there won't be too big problems to pass the written test. After all, only 30 of the 40 questions need to be answered correctly, and 10 points are basically equal to free.
5. The road test must be practiced. You'd better report to the driving school, because the driving school has vehicles and venues close to the test. The use of instruments and equipment, starting the engine, starting, decelerating, shifting and reversing... Are different from those in China. I signed up for driving school and took a five hour class. The cost is 5000 pesos, about 400 yuan.
6. After five hours, I summarized: 1. It's easy to shut down when starting. Either the accelerator is not enough or the clutch is lifted too fast. So according to the secret taught by the Chinese coach, I will stay for a few months before I leave. 2. The shift between the first gear and the second gear is quite skilled, because the car is practiced in the city center, and there is a Rainstorm on weekends, which leads to driving for 5 hours, but the third gear has not been changed even once. There is a super congested road section in the middle. It takes half an hour to drive around and stop. 3. The steering wheel is not skilled enough, and I am a little annoyed when I encounter a relatively small corner... After learning the car, the rest is to apply for a formal driver's license... The location is also in LTO, If you attend a driving school, they will make unified arrangements, and someone will send you to LTO and guide you to complete a series of procedures.
7. After passing the written examination, the materials will be sent to the road test site of LTO. You just need to wait in the shed next to the examination room. At the road test site, there was a basketball court with many points. Several curves, intersections and a ramp were repaired with cement. The examiner of the road test will have instructions. You can complete it according to his instructions, such as accelerating, decelerating, stopping at the intersection, moving on, uphill, downhill and returning to the original position... This can also be easily completed for me who has only learned to drive for 5 hours. The whole process lasted less than 5 minutes. Finally, the examiner directly told me "OK! No problem, I will pass you!"
How can I transfer my Philippine driver's license to a Chinese driver's license

1. Take all the materials and sign up with the local vehicle administration. Tell them that you need to change your overseas driver's license to your domestic driver's license. The staff will conduct a preliminary examination of your materials, such as whether your driver's license is forged, whether the entry-exit records are normal, the content of translation, whether other materials need to be prepared, etc.
2. After passing the preliminary examination, the staff of the vehicle management office will tell you to fill in the personal information form, physical examination form, physical examination and take photos. After these processes are completed, you can sign up for the examination.
3. Local policies are different. Some subjects need to wait for other students to take the exam together. Some vehicle management offices can set up tests for you alone, and the passing score is 90 points.

Transfer to China driver's license fee
The translation materials are about 150 yuan, the physical examination photos are about 50 yuan, and the subjects are 100 yuan. Therefore, all the expenses are no more than 500 yuan. In addition, the Philippine license is less than 2000 yuan, so it is very easy to apply for the driver's license quickly through this method, and there is no need to get through the relationship.
1. In order to ensure the validity of the driver's license, some vehicle management offices will let you test drive, so the premise of changing the license is that you really can drive. Driving is not a joke and safety first.
2. Some staff members of the vehicle administration understand that changing a license is changing one license for another, so they will ask to take back your Philippine driver's license and scrap or archive it. Don't agree to this unreasonable request. The so-called changing a license takes the Philippine driver's license as a certificate to "receive" a Chinese driver's license, rather than changing one license for another.

Can Chinese driver's license be transferred to Philippine driver's license
Since China has not acceded to the United Nations Convention on road traffic, there is no official agency in mainland China to issue an "international driver's license", which is also the fundamental reason for the current dispute over China's "international driver's license". Since China is not a party to the Convention, Chinese Mainland cannot issue or renew an international driver's license. However, the owner of an international driver's license can change the Chinese driver's license after passing the driving theory knowledge test and use it in Chinese Mainland.
However, Hong Kong and Macao are excluded. As Hong Kong and Macao belong to the Special Administrative Region, the United Nations Convention on road traffic is still applicable. Therefore, for example, "international driver's license" + "Hong Kong driver's license" can be used to travel freely through the contracting countries (regions) of the United Nations Convention on road traffic.
It is not feasible for citizens of Chinese Mainland to apply for an international driving license, but there are still ways for citizens of Chinese Mainland to drive abroad. Driving license notarization is the most convenient method at present. The so-called driving license notarization is to notarize the existing driving license at the notary office where the registered permanent residence is located. The notary office issues a language translation certificate with the function equivalent to the international driver's license.
The procedures for notarization of driver's license are relatively simple. Drivers need to carry their existing driver's license (valid), ID card and household register, and provide the official language recognized by the state. The cost of notarization of driver's license depends on the translation language. The translation fee and notarization fee for English driver's license notarization are 240 yuan. The translation fee for small languages is relatively higher. Different languages have different prices, generally about 320 yuan. "
If you just travel, the old drivers who have a valid foreign driving license (a valid driving license issued by the country of nationality) can continue to use it in the Philippines within 90 days after arrival.
So if you are traveling to the Philippines, holding a Chinese driver's license and using it within 90 days of arrival, there is no problem.
If you intend to continue driving in the future, you need to convert your foreign driver's license into a Philippine driver's license within 90 days of your last arrival in the Philippines.
If the foreign driver's license has not expired, you can successfully exchange for a Philippine driver's license without taking a test. If the foreign driver's license has expired, you need to take the written test and road test in person before you can get the Philippine driver's license.
The place where the driver's license is applied for is located in the land transportation office (LTO) and main branches of East Avenue, Quezon City. For non professional drivers (non coach drivers, drivers, etc.), they need to apply for a non professional driving license.
