Drivers and other motorists that wish to renew their license or do any transaction with the LTO Central Office will have to wait for further announcements as the government agency stated that its head office will remain closed due to the high count of infected individuals within its ranks.
After swab testing its employees, the LTO announced that its Central Office will remain closed until further notice. The decision to close the facility off from the public was made last week, on January 7, 2022, in an official Facebook post.
The high infectivity rate has been putting a hamper on a lot of the agency’s operations. Recently, the LTO announced that documents due for renewal within the next three months (January to March) are getting an expiration date extension. That means that licenses, student permits, and the like are all going to be valid for an extra two months this year.
