Law: Lto Memorandum Circular No. Acl-2009-1216

Decision Date: Sep 16, 2009

The LTO mandates the uniform requirement of a Tax Identification Number (TIN) for processing new student permits and driver’s license applications, while exempting certain renewal transactions from this requirement.

Law Summary

Transactions Exempted from TIN Requirement

Renewal applications of professional, non-professional, and conductoras licenses do not require submission of TIN, presuming TIN was submitted on initial application.

Special Provisions for Filipinos Living Abroad

Renewal of driver's licenses for Filipinos residing abroad requires submission of either the TIN or a photocopy of the TIN card.

This memorandum supersedes any previous orders or issuances inconsistent with its provisions.
It mandates strict compliance to ensure uniform implementation of TIN as a requirement in driver’s license and student permit processing.
