Well, first I need to learn how to drive. If you are planning to get a driver's license you need to go through the basic which is getting a student permit first.
So here in Cagayan de Oro City the licensing center is located at Bulua. Before going there, make sure you have these things
*PSA/ Philippine Statistics Authority Copy of your Birth Certificate
For Married : PSA copy of you marriage certificate
*Medical Certificate from authorized medical clinic
*Application form for Driver's License
So I started processing my student permit at around 9:19AM by getting a medical certificate which cost me Php400.00. You don't have to go far since there are already accredited clinics near the LTO Office.
After securing a medical certificate, I then went to the LTO licensing office and presented my documents at the information desk. After checking my documents, I then proceed to window 2 and submitted my documents which was evaluated by the officer in charge . I then waited for my name to be called at window 3 wherein my my pictures and signature where taken. After that procedure, I waited again for my name to be called at the cashier.
For Student Permit you have to pay Php317.63 wherein the breakdown of payment are as follows
Application Fee 100.00
Student Permit Fee 150.00
Comp Fee 67.63
After paying at the cashier, you then have to wait for the releasing of you student permit at window 3. By the way, the student permit is valid for 1 year. You can apply for a Non- professional license after a month and one day. For Professional, you have to wait for 6 months after the issuing of you student permit.
All in all, it took me almost 3 hours to complete the whole process of acquiring a student permit.
