#LTO Periodic Medical Exams

Now we'll be talking more about the LTO's new medical policy for 10-year license holders. Mandatory Periodic Medical Examination Other than the medical exam performed during the application for a new license and the renewal thereof, all driver's license holders shall undergo mandatory periodic medical examination(s) (PME) during the validity period of their license in any LTO-accredited medical clinic or government health facility. The PME can be done at any LTO-accredited medical clinic or government health facility. All LTO-accredited medical clinics shall comply with Section 4(a)(2) of Republic Act No. The LTO shall have the authority to require any driver who appears to have any physical or mental condition or illness that may present a driving risk to undergo a medical exam to assess his/her fitness to drive. Acquiring of Medical Certificate The registered physician must determine whether the licensee has developed any physical or mental condition or illness that is likely to interfere with the latter's ability to control and operate a motor vehicle safely and report their findings to the LTO. The licensee shall be examined following the medical examination guidelines set by the LTO under Memorandum Circular No. Further, the driver shall submit himself/herself for medical examination at any LTO-accredited medical clinics or government health facility within 72 hours from the time of the road crash or from his/her release from detention or medical treatment, if applicable.
