Question & AnswerQ&A (LTO MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. VPT-2010-1399)
The main purpose is to require the use of a dry seal by LTO Accredited Physicians on medical certificates issued to driver's license applicants as evidence that the document is from an authorized service provider.
The memorandum circular took effect on October 26, 2010.
The dry seal must bear the physician's name, Accreditation Certificate Number, and Place of Validity.
The dry seal must be stamped on the lower left portion of the medical certificates issued to driver's license applicants.
One of the non-conformities raised during the Surveillance Audit on June 30, 2010, was the absence of the LTO Accredited Physician's clinic dry seal on the pro-format medical certificate.
The dry seal serves as evidence that the medical certificate is issued by an authorized service provider, which is a requirement for ISO compliance.
