MANILA, Philippines and HAMBURG, Germany, May 19, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

The Philippine Land Transportation Office (LTO) is one of the island state's

most essential authorities providing all services related to land

transportation. Supported by the German company DERMALOG, the agency has

launched a new portal that gives Philippine citizens online access to all LTO

services without long waiting times

Applying for a driver's license, registering a car or paying fees – all this is

now possible online in the Philippines. The Land Transportation Office has

launched its new website portal.lto.gov.ph on May 18.

The portal provides fast and 24/7 access to the agency's services via computer,

tablet or smartphone. Especially in times of COVID-19 and the resulting

limitations on freedom of movement, the new system presents a significant

benefit. After registering, citizens can apply for their driver's license,

register their car or make an appointment at one of the LTO branches. Cashless

payment, for all fines and fees, is now also possible online. This is time and

money saving; the portal's launch means that many fees will no longer apply.

The new online portal of LTO is combined with a so-called LTMS (Land Transport

Management System). It includes an Automated Biometric Identification System

(ABIS) from DERMALOG with face and fingerprint identification, which prevents

false or double identities. Furthermore, the new system allows an easy

integration of services of other government agencies in the Philippines.

LTO employees also benefit from the agency's transformation. Requests can be

processed with a few clicks thanks to the new system. This saves time and high

costs for the Land Transportation Office. "The new LTO portal is one of the key

steps on our way to becoming a frontline government agency showcasing fast and

efficient public service for a progressive land transport sector," says LTO

chief, Assistant Secretary Edgar Galvante.

As a leading system integrator in the field of government digitization,

DERMALOG has developed the portal and Land Transport Management System (LTMS)

for LTO. To implement LTO's extensive modernization, the company has also built

a complete state of the art data center in Manila with the capacity of more

than 5 petabytes and more than 1 million transactions per day.

The new portal makes LTO the most progressive agency in the Philippines and one

of the most advanced government agencies worldwide.
