LTO Mission in Taiwan Successful-Mendoza
The Land Transportation Office reports the successful implementation of the
pilot project to renew drivers licenses of OFWs in Taiwan.
Around 1,000 overseas Filipino workers in Taichung and Kaohsiung showed up
to renew their expired or expiring driver's license, the LTO said in a
press statement.
LTO Chief Vigor D. Mendoza II said the agency is consolidating all the
feedback and observations from the two-day pilot implementation of the
online driver's license renewal in Taiwan.
Mendoza said this will be used to implement the plan to bring the online
driver's license renewal service to OFWs in the United States, several
European countries, and the Middle East.
He assured OFWs the program to renew their licenses would be as fast and as
comfortable as possible.
Department of Transportation Secretary Jaime J. Bautista earlier said
online driver's license renewal is one of the goals of the Marcos
administration.
It was not clarified if the goal of online driver's license renewal would
include not only OFWs but all other licensed motorists. If not? It should.
