The Land Transportation Office (LTO) announces that the validity of driver’s licenses and motor vehicle and motorcycle registrations that expire starting July 1, 2026 is extended until further notice. The extension follows reported downtime and slowdown in the Land Transportation Management System (LTMS) and technical problems affecting the LTO’s online services and portal. LTO states that the measure is meant to give the public a reasonable opportunity to comply with required renewals and avoid complications caused by the system issues. The agency implements the extension through a memorandum circular, cited in reporting as MC No. MVL-2026-5271 dated July 29, 2026. LTO says the update is intended to maintain continuity of public transactions while the online platform and LTMS concerns persist. Until LTO issues further guidance, affected licenses and registrations that would have expired on or after July 1, 2026 remain valid under the extension. The announcements do not specify the final duration, stating only that the extension continues until further notice.
