Getting a student permit from LTO is convenient nowadays (see 3 Major Steps in Applying for a Student Driver’s Permit). I remember when I’ve applied for a student permit many years ago, I’ve obtained it in just a few hours even though I’ve applied in the afternoon (I’ve prepared all the requirements prior to the application). However, having a student permit also has its guidelines to be considered. Many student permit holders don’t know what are their responsibilities and limitations. Several people are asking me the common questions with regards to student permit. In this article, we’ll tackle the frequently asked questions in student permit.
- How to get a student permit?
Getting a student permit is just easy. All you need is an NSO birth certificate and money to pay for the necessary fee. Remember, NSO birth certificate is needed! To know more about getting a student permit, visit 3 Major Steps in Applying for a Student Driver’s Permit. - How long is the validity of student permit?
According to the official LTO government website, student permit shall be valid for one (1) year from date of issuance and may no longer be revised, modified or renewed. - Can I apply for a non-professional or professional driver’s license even if I have an expired student permit?
No. You should have an unexpired student permit in applying for non-professional or professional driver’s license. - When am I eligible to get a non-professional driver’s license or a professional driver’s license?
After (1) one month of having a student permit, you can apply for a non-professional driver’s license. In professional driver’s license, you should hold at least (6) six months student permit, following that you are qualified for its rules. For more information, please refer to the article about getting a non-professional driver’s license or professional driver’s license. - Can I drive alone even if I only have a student permit?
Is it against the law to drive alone if you only hold a student permit. Having a professional or non-professional driver’s license is necessary, meaning, as a student permit holder, you should be accompanied by a person with driver’s license. - If I will drive in the road, is it necessary that a person must have a professional driver’s license to teach me how to drive?
You may only operate a private vehicle and only if you are accompanied by a duly licensed driver, whether a holder of non-professional or professional driver’s license with the appropriate restriction code for the type of vehicle to be driven.
Here you go, you are now confident because you know the answers to the common questions asked about having a student permit. Remember, a violation even if you only have a student permit will reflect when the time you’re ready to get a driver’s license. Be sure to follow the rules and regulations so that you could eliminate some hurdles in obtaining a driver’s license. Do you have your student permit now?

IF I HAVE ALREADY A STUDENT LICENSE….CAN I DRIVE A MOTORCYCLE WITH THE STUDENT PERMIT
If you are accompanied by a duly licensed driver, you can drive a motorcycle even if it is only a student permit.
My students permit was confiscated. what are the fines and charges?
Accompanied… Meaning Basta me kasamang may driver’s license kahit di ka angkas (Ang kasama ay sakay sa Isa pang motor)? Okay lang po ba?
ask ko lang bakit nagparenew ako ng pdl ko ay inalis nila ang code 8.
isa po akong ofw at heavy driver po ang license ko abroad.
na aquire ko ang code 8 long time ago na at nagrenew din nmn ako pero di nila inalis ang code 8 pero now nagparenew ako inalis nila.(binan lto)
I-contact niyo mismo kung saan kayo nag-renew, ask niyo kung bakit inalis ang code 8, probably error nila yun.
If I have a non- professional license, can I drive alone in the road? Can I get a non- professional license even I am just 17 years old or should I wait till I get 18?
what would i bring if im going to renew my expired student permit license?
Expired student permit, you should bring the requirements stated in this article: http://www.ltoexamreviewer.com/3-major-steps-in-applying-for-a-student-drivers-permit/
sir 1month na ba ang student kapag feb 8 ang issue then kukuha ako ng non pro ng march 9?pwede na po ba un kc di ba ang month of feb is until 28 lang?
1 month = 30 days.
Yong student permit ko po was issued last December 12, 2018, pwede naba ako mag apply ng non pro by January 11, 2019 po? 30 Days na po yan, at saturday po kasi yong January 12.
sana po ibalik nyo s 6 month ung mga student permit bago mbgyan ng non pro drivers license…just saying lang po …
Pwede po ba na yung SP ko na expired na ang ipakit ko sa LTO office pag kukuha po ulit ng new SP? computerized naman na po diba?
Yes.
Pag po ba pang 3 beses na nakakuha ng Student permit at na naexpired ulit, hindi na pwede kumuha ulit?
Pwede pa naman.
Hello. What is the requirements if i apply for student permit again. I have an expired SP. ty.
Ganun pa din kung papaano ka kumuha ng student permit noon. Read our article: http://www.ltoexamreviewer.com/3-major-steps-in-applying-for-a-student-drivers-permit/
Sir tanong ko lang po.. kapag po ba kumuha ako by monday ng SP., makukuha ko rin po ba agad yun within that day?? And magkano po magagastos ko po sa pagkuha ng SP lahat lahat po??
Yes, makukuha mo iyon within a day. For reference sa pagkuha ng SP, read this article: http://www.ltoexamreviewer.com/3-major-steps-in-applying-for-a-student-drivers-permit/
Hi just want to ask po, nahuli kasi ako kahapon ng driving with a student permit but without the accompany of a proffesional drivers liscense. Is it true po na pwde makulong ng 1month at ma iimpound po ba ung motor dapat?
Hi tanong lang po Ms.Apple, na impound po ba yung sasakyan nyo or nakulong kayo after nyong mahuli driving with SP without a company of a pro/non pro driver?
Hi! Ask ko lang.
Dec2017 na expired yun student permit.
Ofw at kakauwi lang this april2018.
Pabalik ulit this month sa abroad.
Pede ba ma renew to non-pro or pro license?
And ano mga requirements?
Thank you!
Kukuha ka ng panibagong student permit because it is expired na.
pwede po ba kumuha ng non pro license sa mismong araw ng expiration ng SP? valid pa din po ba yung SP nun? baka kasi SP ulit ang ipa apply saken. Thanks.
It’s better to get ng non-pro, before that day, you wouldn’t know kung anong mangyari that day if you can apply. Better to be earlier than the expiration ng student permit.
pag kumuha ba ako ng student license then mag drive ako papunta sa work .. pwede po ba un or mahuhuli lang ako ..
Bawal mag-drive alone (dapat may kasamang may lisensya) ang student permit lamang ang license.
sir kng nahuli po ba aku with violation of NO DL, UNREGSTRD MV, NO OR CR,yearz ago pa po un, and ngaun po magaapply po ng student permit?is it possible pa po ba na mkaapply pa aku?salamat po,,
Yes, pwede na. If may violation na ganun may fine, then after one year lamang pwede nang kumuha ng student permit.
sir for example po,nahuli aku with violation no drvrs licnse, unregstrd motor, no OR CR,..pde pa po ba aku mka apply for stdent license up to non prof or prof?salamat po..
Hi po ask ko lang pwede po ba mahdrive ng motor student permit lng ang gamit?ilang months po ba ma eexpired ang student permit?
12 months ang validity ng student permit. You can drive ng motor if may kasama kang may non-pro or pro na license. Otherwise, you may be penalize for driving na walang non-pro or pro na license.
Paano naman po kapag yung taong may student permit nahuli during driving lesson with a professional driver not knowing na siya po ay learner. Possible po ba na magkaroon po siya ng penalties??? For example you violated traffic rules thus hindi ka pwedeng ticketan because nagaaral ka mag drive. Will that be a problem??
Probably ang accountable aside from the student is the instructor because he is the one who teaches the student. If you’re going to get a professional driver’s license, there is a rule that your existing driver’s license should not have 2 or more counts of reckless driving. But in that case, probably may penalties pa din yun because there’s no above the law.
Good day Sir Wala napo ba talaga chance na ma i renew yung student permit ko to professional driving licence almost 1yr and 5mnths na po diko po na renew agad ofw po ngyn dito po ako sa pilipinas nag babakasakali po.
Kukuha ng panibago kapag expired na ang student permit.
Another six Months nanaman po ba yun sir/ma’am ang pag kaka Alam ko may babayadan na kada months ng expired e
Pwede na bang mag-apply ng non-professional driver’s license kahit expired na ung student permit?
No, dapat hindi expired ang student permit. Kukuha ka ulit ng panibago.
My son’s birthday is on August, while his student permit will be 1 month already next month (May). Will LTO allow him to apply for Non-Pro license next month since he is already 18 years old this year (2018),
Maybe not because according to LTO, at least 17 years old is required for non-professional driver’s license.
Pwede naman pala ang non-pro kasama ng student. Sabi nila pro lang dapat. Mga non-pro lang kasi halos kilala kong pwede magturo ng libre.
Yes, pwede, according sa LTO, he/she should be accompanied by a duly licensed driver which is either non-pro or pro ang license.
hello po pde po ba mag drive ng motor ang may SP kung ang kasama ay non pro with restrictions for matic cars only.
Ask ko lang po pwede ko po ba ipa laminate yung SP ID Card ko ?
Card ba yun o papel na?
Pede po ba pa laminate yung papel na student permit? Salamat
No need.
If i lost my Student permit, Can i still get a non-prof license immediately with an affidavit?
Pwede ba ko kumuha ng non pro license bukas May 4, 2018 kase April 4 ko nakuha student ko . Salamat sa sagot.
makakakuha po ba ako ng sp kasi isang mata lang po nakakakita sa akin inborn po kasi to pero kaya ko naman mg maneho ng sasakyan.
Pwede po ba ako mag drive ng motor kahit student permit lng ang meron ako?
Meron po bang student licence to professional licence sa pasig kapitolyo, i mean yung student ko po pwde ko po bang apply nang professional sa pasig kapitolyo ? Kung di po pwde saan po ang lugar na pwdeng puntahan salamat in advance plss answer po
pwede po bang magdrive alone na SP lamang ang license sa streets na hindi naman major roads like highways or i mean magddrive lang sa secondary roads na walang mavviolate?
It’s better that you’re accompanied by a duly license driver. Yun ang batas kailangan may kasamang may lisensya.
As of now ba po pede non-professional yung mag-accompany sa student’s license holder when driving a vehicle?
Even if non-professional holder pwede.
If I have a student license, can I drive a car accompanied by a non-prof license holder?
Yes

hayst, kala ko pag nakakuha ng sp pede ng magmotor mag isa, mag iintay pa pala ng isang buwan 🙁
Good Day!
For Student Licence Application, does it require that you know how to drive?
Or can you learn while having a student lincence already, then apply for non-pro after?
Would appreciate your advice 🙂
For student, it means you’re a student and you’re in the process of learning and it’s not required for you to know how to drive. You can apply for non-professional driver’s license after you know how to drive.
Ano pong violation kapag nag drive na student permit lang at walang kasama? Maiimpound po ba motor? Pwede makulong? Or may fine lang?
Hello po, diba may medical na requirements paano po kung colorblind ang isang tao pero hindi naman malabo ang mata pwede pa poba siyang makakuha ng license?
Sir na impound motor ko noon at na ticketan ako ng driving without licence kasi student permit pa and expired registration. .mag 1 year na violation ko . Gusto ko sana kumuha ngayon ng Student Permit ulit . Pwede po ba ako maka kuha ng Student permit kahit nandiyan pa violation ko ? balak ko lang sana kumuha ng Student permit
Good morning- pwede pa pa ba makakuha ng pro drivers license Kung 8 months na ang student permit?
Yes, 12 mo. expiration ng student permit.
Kung may expired student permit ako. Then kumuha ako ulit bagong student permit. Do i still need to wait for one month bago ako makakuha ng nonpro or i can take non pro any time
My student licensed is 6months already. Can i still apply for non pro licensed?
Yes, you can.

paano po gagawin kapag 2nd time failed sa exam student to pro. may chance pa po ba
Gud day po Ma’am/Sir , may tanong po sana ako . last yr na huli apo ako SP po yung gamit ko after 1 yr nag kuha ulit ako ng SP ilang moths/days po ba bago makakuha ng non-prof license . ?

Good day po. Ask lang po pwede pa po ba kumuha ng student d.l kahit naka 3 beses kumuha? Ofw po husband ko kaya hndi niya marenew to non pro agad. Thank you po
Ok lng po b mg drive ng motorcycle ng solo kahit student license lng gamit ko?
If may kasama/kaangkas na mayroong lisensya.
is the motorcyle written test the same as for the car written test? i can only see written test reviewer for cars nothing for motorcycle reviewer.
it says that a foreigner needs to wait a year before he/she could apply for a driver’s license. does this count for former filipino also?
Yes, it is the same. Probably, you may ask the LTO district office near you.
Medyo confused po ako. Some people are suggesting me na Professional DL ang kunin ko instead na non-pro (may SP na po ako). Sabi kasi nila mas strong ang professional dl kesa non pro saka hnd daw pwede mag long drive ang non pro holder kung walang ksamang my license din. Totoo po ba un? Girl po ako and baka ma.question ako kung bakit magpo.professional dl ako if ever un kunin ko.
If you have a non-professional driver’s license, you are eligible to drive private vehicles while professional driver’s license entitles you to drive both private and public vehicles. So, you can driver anywhere you want kahit non-pro, ang professional is for driver’s na pwedeng mamasada.
Pwede po ba kumuha ulet ng student permit khit mlapit pa lang mag expire ung luma?
After expiration lamang pwedeng kumuha.
Pagkumuha ng sp 17 yrs old after 1 month pede n sya mg apply ng non pro? This coming DEC 18 yrs old n sya..pede nb mag non pro ang 17yrs old? Tnx
Kailangan 18 years old according to the updated age requirement for the application of new non-pro or pro license.
Hi, I have a question here regarding the Student permit, there was an incident na nagmomotor and nahuli ako and i have 3 violations instead of impounding my vehicle they confiscated my Student license because i refused to surrender it. Now, im wondering if i could file for a new application of student permit since it was already a long period of time. hoping for a fast answer. Thanks
Hi! Can I still apply for non-pro even if my student permit expired just a month ago?
Kapag po my non pro licence n q ilang bwan po bago aq mg apply ng international licence
Hi, pag nahuli po ba ako na Student Permit lang ang dala habang nag drive ng motor ay ma impound po ba ang motor?
Hi LTO team, tatanong ko lang po kung same lang po yung exam for NON-PRO and PRO magkakatalo lang poba sa percentage ng passing score. SP holder palang po ako for almost 9months. And okay lang poba na 2 wheels padin ang gamit sa test drive kapag sa PRO or 4 wheels na
nawala po yung sp ko makakakuha po ba ako ulit? hindi pa po expire, ano kya requirments? tsaka magkano po kaya? thanks po,,
hi, may exam po ba pag magaaply ng SP?
So meaning po, yung student’s permit, maeexpire siya after a year? So you can still drive the whole year without renewal? tapos yung 30 days na sinasabi after makakuha ng permit is para sa non-pro license? Thanks
Good evening po. Ask ko lang po sana kung nag iisue parin po ba nung Card para sa license ng mga student driver? or papel lang talaga siya? nacoconfuse kasi kami dahil meron po kaming nakita na may card nung student driver na color orange last 2015 ata yun or 2016. Thanks
