DIGITAL NA DRIVER'S LICENSE, ILULUNSAD NG LTO AT DICT
NAKATAKDANG ilunsad ng Land Transportation Office (LTO) at Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) ang online o electronic na bersyon ng driver's license sa bansa.
Bilang pagsunod ito sa direktiba ni Pangulong Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr. na ipatupad ang digitalization sa mga ahensya ng gobyerno.
Ayon kay LTO Chief Jay Art Tugade, ang digital driver's license ang magsisilbing alternatibo sa pisikal na license card at maaari itong ma-access o makita sa isang "super app" na nilikha ng DICT.
"The advantage of the digital license is that motorists can present it to law enforcement officers during apprehension. It is equivalent to presenting the physical driver's license," paliwanag ni Tugade.
"We also appreciate the way the super app functions similarly to a wallet, containing all government IDs, among other things, within your mobile device," dagdag pa nito.
Ipinunto pa ni Tugade na may mapagpipilian na rin ang publiko mula sa paggamit ng papel na Official Receipt (OR) bilang pansamantalang driver's license sa gitna ng kinakapos nang suplay ng plastic cards.
Maliban sa digital na driver's license, sinabi ng LTO Chief na maaaring magamit ng publiko ang "super app" para sa iba't-ibang transaksyon sa ahensya tulad ng license registration at renewal gayundin ang online payments.
Kaugnay naman ng usapin ng seguridad, nabatid mula kay Tugade na ang ginagamit na security features ng pisikal na driver's license ay kasama na rin sa digital na bersyon nito, maliban pa sa sariling security measures ng "super app."
Binigyang-diin ni Tugade na ang e-governance partnership sa pagitan ng LTO at DICT ay patunay lamang na seryoso ang ahensya na itulak ang digitalization sa mga transaksyon at serbisyo nito.
"Simplifying and digitalizing more services will ultimately aid the agency in eradicating corruption," pagdedeklara ni Tugade.
Nuong Marso ay pormal na pumasok ang LTO at DICT sa isang e-governance partnership na layong magkaroon ng pagtutulungan tungo sa pagpapabuti at pagpapalakas ng digitalization ng mga sistema at proseso sa ahensya para sa pangkahalatang kahusayan at epektibong serbisyo sa publiko. #

LTO TAPS DICT FOR DIGITAL DRIVER'S LICENSE
The Land Transportation Office (LTO), in collaboration with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), is set to launch an electronic version of the driver's license, or "digital license," as part of the agency's efforts to digitalize its services.
LTO Chief Jay Art Tugade stated that the digital license will serve as an electronic alternative to the physical driver's license card and will be integrated into the "super app" under development by the DICT.
"The advantage of the digital license is that motorists can present it to law enforcement officers during apprehension. It is equivalent to presenting the physical driver's license," Tugade explained. "We also appreciate the way the super app functions similarly to a wallet, containing all government IDs, among other things, within your mobile device."
Tugade further said that the digital license aims to replace the Official Receipt (OR) as temporary driver's license currently printed on paper. The public will be able to utilize the digital license for various transactions with the agency, including license and registration renewals as well as online payments.
Regarding security, Tugade confirmed that the existing security features of the driver's license would be integrated into the digital version, in addition to the super app's security measures.
Tugade emphasized that the e-governance partnership between LTO and DICT demonstrates the agency's commitment to digitalizing as many services as possible.
"Simplifying and digitalizing more services will ultimately aid the agency in eradicating corruption," the LTO Chief declared.
In March, the LTO and the DICT officially entered into an e-governance partnership. This collaboration aims to enhance the digitalization of systems and processes within the LTO, ultimately improving its overall efficiency and effectiveness. #
