The Land Transportation Office has dropped the periodic medical exam requirement in order to renew a driver's license for existing holders.
The removal of the requirement is in accordance with agency chief Jay Art Tugade's directive to amend the LTO Memorandum Circular 2021-2285 or the Supplemental Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act 10930. Tugade said their latest decision was based on research, collected data, and consultations. These led the LTO to conclude that the PME had no correlation with vehicular accidents.
Based on the new policy, applicants must only take one mandatory medical examination whenever they obtain or renew their driver's license.
