THE delivery of pre-printed driver’s license plastic cards is expected to be completed by first quarter of 2024 after the Land Transportation Office (LTO) reported delivery of 1.2 million cards so far by the supplier.
The LTO had been directed by Transportation Secretary Jaime J. Bautista to fast track delivery of the license cards after the temporary restraining order (TRO) on the card manufacturer was recently lifted.
“We want to make sure that this issue of license cards is resolved immediately. The LTO must oversee that the delivery from the manufacturer is well within the timelines we have set,” the transport chief said.
The LTO received today at least 150,000 plastic cards from Banner Plasticard, Inc. A total of 1.2 million cards have already been delivered since July 25, 2023.
The current production rate, according to the LTO, is at 25,000 to 27,000 cards daily.
