List of LTO Driver’s License Restriction Codes

LTO Driver’s License Restriction Codes are set of limitations given to the driver’s license holder on the type of motor vehicles he/she is only allowed and capable to operate. This is to ensure that a driver who only knows how to drive a motorcycle won’t be given an official authority to drive a dump truck.

The Restriction Codes are printed at the front of the driver’s license, both Non-Professional and Professional Driver’s License type. Moreover, Non-Professional Driver’s License is only allowed to have the restriction codes of 1, 2 and 4 while Professional Driver’s License is allowed to apply for the 8 restriction codes.

From driving a motorcycle, private car to operating a bus or heavy trucks, restriction codes where those vehicle belongs must first be added and reflected into your license before you are officially allowed to operate them. For your reference, you may check out the restriction codes below.
