Photocopies of the required documents may be accepted at the time of filing.

An additional PHP 70.00 per unit must be paid in excess of the first 2 applied units.

A Provisional Authority (PA) may be issued for a period of forty-five (45) days as a transition period for TNVS service.
PA issuance is conditioned on acceptance of the application and submission of a photocopy of the passenger insurance policy.
An additional amount of PHP 260.00 must be paid if the applicant prays for the issuance of PA in the application or in a separate motion.

A CPC is valid for one (1) year and may be renewed.
CPC validity and renewal depend on the good standing of the operator or driver with the TNC.
