Unfortunately, DLRC in SM Megamall has already closed so I hadnt been able to renew my license.So, I guess its time to give back and make myself helpful to others who are just like me.
Applying for an International Driving Permit in the Philippines (2014). Some countries allow tourists to drive in their country for a certain number of days during the visit but there are also some who require IDP or International Drivers License. Here in the Philippines, IDP is being issued by Automobile Association of the Philippines ( AAP ). For one to be able to apply for IDP, heshe has to be a member of AAP. Please note, as per notices Ive read in their office, that Philippine International Driving Permit is not accepted in Taiwan and there are some limitations in other countries (e.g. Japan). As per their website, it only takes 30 minutes to 1 hour to process IDP in this office. Other offices take around 2 days to process since they also forward those applications to the EDSA office. Note: If applying for IDP and is a new member, you can just submit IDP application form. International Philippines Download The FormYou can download the form here or you could submit your application online. Its in the odd-shape building thats colored blue and yellow (at least for now). I have planned to renew my drivers license before going there. ![]() Theres a reception when I entered the building (entrance along EDSA). The guard will check your requirements and ask you to proceed to Window 2. Applications and drivers licenses are received in this window. Although, the website states that processing only takes 30-minute to an hour, mine was 1 12 hour. This might be attributable to their system slow down during that day and a higher number of applicants since they were closed yesterday. International Philippines Free Coffee ForGood thing theres free coffee for visitors (at the back of the waiting area), you just have to get a cup on a cubicle near it. I was given back the paper and proceeded to Window 4 for payment. Total payment was PhP1800 (PhP1500 for first-time AAP membership and PhP300 IDP processing fee). Then, I went back to Window 3 for claiming of my membership card, insurance, an AAP member sticker for my car and IDP. Dont forget to check the details of your documents before you leave.
