The Land
Transportation Office (LTO) and SM recently signed a memorandum of agreement to
bring Drivers’ license renewal closer, easier and more convenient to the public
at SM City North EDSA.
This partnership gives mallgoers the opportunity to have
their licensed processed while shopping, having fun, and doing their other
errands in their favorite SM Malls.
The partnership allows
LTO to set up and operate Driver’s License Renewal Centers (DLRC) at selected
malls such as:
- SM City North EDSA
- SM City Pampanga
- SM City Manila
- SM City Cebu
- SM Southmall
- SM Mall of Asia

- SM City Davao
- SM Seaside City Cebu and
- SM City Cabanatuan
DLRCs are open from Mondays to Saturdays from
10am to 9pm (excluding legal holidays, special non-working days and work
suspensions declared by the government).

The LTO Driver’s License
Renewal Center (DLRC) is one of the many services SM extends beyond shopping to
its customers.
This is a good news, open pa ng Saturday so no need to file VL para sa mga nagwowork.
ReplyDeleteI admire SM for having convenient satellites of govt offices as such. Such a big help especially for working moms like us. :)
ReplyDeleteGood news and great tandem! 😊
ReplyDeleteI hope they open up the renewal center in SM Megamall again. They had one there before and I have always wondered what happened to it. I am still waiting for the cards to be available, though, before I renew my license. :)
ReplyDeleteButi meron sa SM Manila para di siksikan lagi sa Tayuman :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear! Good riddance to long lines!
ReplyDeleteI hope they could also accommodate those who wants to apply Student's License.
ReplyDeleteThis is good! Sana meron din dito sa SM namin :) Mas comvenient talaga pag nasa malls na ang mga ganitong government facilities.
ReplyDeleteThis will help the drivers who will renew their licenses. Sana lang they have available cards.
ReplyDeleteThis is good, para wala ng mahabang pila sa mga LTO offices,
ReplyDeleteGood news to! Bawas hassle sa application/renewal ng license.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I really prefer going to and processing any government related documents in offices or branches inside the mall. So this tie up of LTO with SM Malls is such a good news!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear our systems are improving!
ReplyDeleteNot getting a drivers license anytime soon. But this is really convenient to those who will ge tone.
ReplyDeleteThis is good news! Our LTO here doesn't have a good office. So every time you'll visit you need to take a lot of patience talaga.
ReplyDeleteWow! Good news.
ReplyDeletewow nice at least sa mall na para hindi masyado hassle. Before I got my license in Alabang Town Center pero now wala na. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed a good news for working parents and even stay at home moms. It took me several months before I was able to get my driver's license because of schedule. This partnership makes life a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteThis is good news especially for my husband na mahirapan makapagfile ng leave just to process license renewal.
ReplyDeleteYay hopefully this makes license renewal easier and more convenient!
ReplyDeleteFinally! Things are getting more convenient for us pinoys!
ReplyDeleteI hope SSS and BIR will follow next.
ReplyDeleteHaving them in the malla ia super convenient! There used to be one in SM Hypermarket Pasig but not anymore huhu.
ReplyDeleteVery good news specially for my husband :-) Thank you for sharing this bit of information.
ReplyDeleteI;m just near SM North and I need to renew my license ASAP. This is good news. Thanks for sharing :)
