Driving a public vehicle here in the Philippines requires you to have a professional license. As far as I know, non-professional driver's license can be used for private vehicles only. That was a law of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) in the Philippines. So what are the New Professional driver's License Qualifications, Requirements and Fees?

  2. Must be physically and mentally fit to operate a motor vehicle
  3. Must not be a drug user or an alcoholic
  4. Must not be afflicted with any contagious disease or epilepsy
  5. Must be able to read and write in Filipino or English
  6. Must be clean, neat and presentable

  2. Valid Student Permit (at least 5 months old or four months old Non Prof License)
