Restriction Codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 — Detailed
Yung restriction codes sa LTO ay nag-uutos kung anong types of vehicles ka pwedeng i-drive. Ginagawa ito based sa weight, passenger capacity, at vehicle classification:
Code 1 — Motorcycles & Tricycles
Para sa lahat ng two-wheeled at three-wheeled vehicles. Hindi importante kung manual o automatic transmission. Common para sa Pinoy commuters at delivery riders. Need ka mag-apply ng Code 1 separately mula sa Code 2 — hindi automatic na kasama. Yung practical driving test sa Code 1 ay sa LTO motorcycle range.
Code 2 — Light Vehicles (GVW hanggang 4,500 kg)
Pinakacommon code, para sa motor cars, jeeps, vans, light SUVs. Kasama dito ang Toyota Vios, Honda Civic, Mitsubishi Mirage, Toyota Avanza, Honda HR-V, etc. Yung mga private vehicles na pinapatakbo sa karaniwang Pinoy ay nasa Code 2.
Code 3 — Light Trucks (GVW 4,500-12,000 kg)
Para sa mga delivery trucks, large vans, light commercial vehicles tulad ng Mitsubishi L300, Hyundai H100, light cargo trucks. Kailangan ng additional driving test sa LTO truck range. Mag-aapply for Code 3 lamang kapag nakakaroon ng Code 2 license at may experience.
Code 4 — Public Utility Vehicles (PUV) up to 5,000 kg
Para sa for-hire vehicles na nag-bibyahe ng pasahero — taxis, UV Express, FX vans, jeepneys. Required ito para mag-Grab driver, Angkas rider (Code 1 may exception), o sa traditional na public transport. Need professional license.
Code 5 — Heavy Public Vehicles (above 5,000 kg)
Para sa buses, large trucks, heavy commercial vehicles. Strictest requirements: must be 21+ years old, may experience as Code 4 driver, additional medical exams. Kailangan din ng Special Permit kapag mag-drive sa restricted zones tulad ng EDSA Bus Lane.
Online Application via LTMS Portal
Ang LTMS (Land Transportation Management System) Portal sa lto.gov.ph ay yung official online platform ng LTO. Eto yung pwede mong gawin online:
- Book appointment sa preferred LTO branch — major branches sa Metro Manila (East Avenue, San Jose Del Monte, Quezon City) ay madalas booked weeks ahead.
- Pay fees online via online banking (BPI, BDO, Metrobank), e-wallets (GCash, Maya), o credit/debit cards.
- Fill out application forms — Personal Driver's License (PDL) application, restriction code addition, etc.
- Upload medical certificate from LTO-accredited medical clinic. May list ng accredited clinics sa LTMS Portal.
- Take Theoretical Driving Course (TDC) online — 8-hour course for new applicants, 4-hour refresher for renewers.
- Track application status kahit nasa branch ka pa lang nag-process ng papers.
Pero ang biometric capture (photo, fingerprint, signature) at practical driving test ay personal pa rin sa LTO branch. Walang full online application option pa noong 2026.
Take Photo at Home — Free at Convenient
Sa photo studios sa SM o Robinsons, around PHP 100-150 ang 2×2 photo. Sa bahay, libre. Gamitin yung cellphone, mag-position sa harap ng white wall na may natural light, ipakuha sa kapamilya, tapos gamitin yung AI editor para mag-cut sa exact 2×2 inches at i-replace ang background sa pure white. Print sa local photo shop sa P5-10 per print.
Magsimula nang Libre →Renewal vs New Application — Differences
Iba ang requirements at process sa new application kumpara sa renewal:
New Application
- Get Student Permit first (PHP 250, valid 1 year).
- Practice driving for at least 1 month with someone na may license.
- Take Theoretical Driving Course (TDC) — 8 hours sa LTO-accredited driving school.
- Take Practical Driving Course (PDC) — 8 hours, kasama actual driving practice sa range at road.
- Apply at LTO branch with TDC at PDC certificates, medical certificate, valid IDs, at backup 2×2 photos.
- Take written exam at practical driving test sa LTO branch.
- Pay PHP 820 license fee + PHP 1,500-2,000 driving school fees + PHP 250-400 medical exam = total PHP 2,500-3,000.
Renewal
- Take TDC refresher (4 hours) sa LTO-accredited school o online via LTMS Portal.
- Get medical certificate from accredited clinic (PHP 250-400).
- Book appointment online via LTMS Portal.
- Pay renewal fee PHP 720 via online o counter.

- Total cost ay around PHP 1,000-1,500 kasama refresher course at medical exam.
Mag-renew nang 60 days bago mag-expire para iwasan ang penalties. Yung expired license na lampas 1 year na ay kailangan na mag-pa-process as new application — mas mahal at matagal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ano ang LTO photo requirement para sa driver's license?
Ang LTO (Land Transportation Office) ay nag-rerequire ng 2×2 inches (51×51 mm) na photo na may pure white background. Pero kapag naa-apply ka sa LTO branch, kuhanan ka mismo nila ng biometric photo on-site na yan ang lalabas sa license card. Hindi mandatory yung physical photo sa application, pero nire-recommend talaga na magdala ng 1-2 backup printed photos kasi minsan offline yung biometric camera lalo na sa probincial LTO offices. Same 2×2 size na ginagamit sa SSS UMID at US passport — pwede mo gamitin ang same photo file para sa multiple applications.
Ano yung restriction codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 sa Philippine driver's license?
Yung restriction codes ng LTO ay nagrerepresent ng types of vehicles na pwede mo i-drive: Code 1 — Motorcycles/Tricycles (manual o automatic); Code 2 — Vehicles with Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) na hanggang 4,500 kg (kasama motor cars, jeeps, vans, light SUVs); Code 3 — Vehicles na lumampas sa 4,500 kg pero hindi hihigit sa 12,000 kg GVW (Light truck, large vans); Code 4 — Vehicles for-hire o for-passengers na hindi lumampas sa 5,000 kg (taxis, FX, UV Express); Code 5 — Vehicles for-hire na lumampas sa 5,000 kg (buses, trucks). Same photo specifications para sa lahat ng restrictions.
Pwede ba mag-apply o mag-renew online via LTMS Portal?
Yung LTMS (Land Transportation Management System) Portal ay nagbo-book ng appointment online at nag-aaccept ng renewal applications, pero hindi mo pa pwede ma-skip ang biometric capture. Kailangan mo pa ring pumunta sa LTO branch para sa actual photo, fingerprint, at signature. Ano ang pwede mo gawin online: book appointment, pay renewal fees via online banking o e-wallet, fill out application forms, upload required documents tulad ng medical certificate. Yung renewal mismo ay 5-day Theoretical Driving Course (TDC) refresher ang requirement bago mag-renew. Para sa mga out of country (OFW), may special process sa Philippine Embassy o Consulate.
Magkano ang renewal vs new application sa LTO?
Sa LTO Philippines noong 2026: New License Application ay PHP 820 (kasama Theoretical Driving Course at Practical Driving Course fees na mga PHP 1,500 sa LTO-accredited driving schools). Renewal ay PHP 720 (kasama medical exam ng PHP 250-400 at TDC refresher na PHP 100). Replacement ng nawala o nasira na license ay PHP 525 plus PHP 50 affidavit fee. Lahat ng fees na ito ay sa LTO official only — yung mga driving schools at medical clinics ay separate. Mag-budget ng PHP 2,500-3,000 total kapag new applicant ka, at PHP 1,000-1,500 kapag renewal lang.
Ano yung difference ng student permit, non-pro, at professional license?
Student Permit ay yung first stage — valid for 1 year, allows you to learn driving with someone na may license. Cost PHP 250. Non-Professional Driver's License ay para sa private use ng vehicle (own car, family car). Pwede ka rin mag-drive sa private trips. Cost ng new application ay PHP 820. Professional Driver's License ay para sa for-hire driving (taxi driver, truck driver, bus driver) at higher requirements (must be 18+ years old, may experience as Non-Pro driver, additional medical exams). Photo specifications and restriction codes are the same — basta ang difference ay sa allowed usage. Mag-renew bawat 5 o 10 years (depende sa rating) ang lahat ng licenses.
