<p>"Failure of the driver to renew his/her driver's license beyond the prescribed schedule shall render the license expired," the agency noted.&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to the LTO, driver's license plastic cards that were not printed during the April 2023 renewal will be printed also this October.</p>
<p>The agency said that a "separate memorandum for the bulk printing for DL renewed for the succeeding period from May 1 to Sept. 30 shall be issued after a sufficient volume of plastic cards has been delivered."</p>
<p>It can be recalled that in April, LTO experienced a <a href="https://www.dzrh.com.ph/post/lto-paper-license" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shortage of plastic used nationwide</a> which prompted them to print driver's licenses on paper with a unique Quick Response (QR) code.</p>
