The Land Transportation Office–National Capital Region (LTO-NCR) reaffirmed Saturday its commitment to continuously improving services and making government transactions easier and more convenient for the public. This commitment was highlighted with the official relaunch of the LTO–San Juan District Office.

LTO-NCR Regional Director Roque “Rox” I. Verzosa III said the milestone marks another step toward bringing government services closer to the people and ensuring greater accessibility.

Despite its name, the LTO San Juan District Office was previously located in Quezon City. It is now officially situated at 1 North Domingo St., corner F. Blumentritt, San Juan Plaza, San Juan City.

Aside from Verzosa, the ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora, San Juan City Representative Ysabel Maria Zamora, Assistant Regional Director Atty. Dennis Barion, and LTO San Juan District Office OIC Teresita M. Lorilla. LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Markus V. Lacanilao was represented by Executive Director Atty. Greg G. Pua.

The new San Juan District Office will serve as a one-stop shop offering faster, more efficient, and more convenient services for San Juan residents.

Previously, the old office only handled renewals of motor vehicle registrations and driver’s licenses. The newly relaunched district office now includes a Licensing Section, allowing applicants to apply for new driver’s licenses and renew existing ones.

Lorilla said the reopening means San Juaneños no longer need to travel to other cities for their LTO transactions. The office now offers a range of miscellaneous services, including transfer of ownership, issuance of duplicate Certificates of Registration (CR), duplicate driver’s licenses, and more.

For new driver’s license applicants, several accredited medical clinics and driving schools are conveniently located near the new office, further streamlining the process.

Verzosa added that the initiative was conducted under the guidance of Acting Transportation Secretary Giovanni Lopez and Assistant Secretary Lacanilao.
