LTOPF, gun registration is now online! 9 easy steps to do it

LTOPF, gun registration is now online! 9 easy steps to do it

 UPDATED January, 2020

A "provisional" License to Own and Possess Firearms (LTOPF) will now be available for all gun holders who need to renew their firearms.

The provisional LTOPF is exclusive only to gun holders with existing firearms and will no longer require a drug/neuro test. It will be valid for six months.

The LTOPF for first-time gun purchases, however, still require the drug/neuro tests.

Gun owning just got easier.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) recently launched the online system for all LTOPF and gun registration applications.

Called the PNP License to Own and Possess Firearms (LTOPF) and Firearms Registration System, the program aims to eliminate the long hours of waiting in applying for a license, and reduces the inconvenience of traveling from your residence to a PNP satellite office.

Here's how it works, according to the PNP's Information Technology Management Service (ITMS).

2. Sign up using your valid email address at www.onlineltopf.pnp.gov.ph

 3. Type in your existing National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) ID number, passport number, postal ID number or SSS number. Your data (name, age, address, etc.) will be automatically filled in. For renewal, just type your old LTOPF control number.

7. Upload your bank receipt and wait for SMS/text validation.



8. Choose your preferred scheduled date at any of the PNP satellite offices (e.g. Camp Crame, Marikina, Cebu, Davao and police regional offices, particularly at the regional civil security units)

9. Claim your LTOPF license, gun registration/renewal at your chosen location.

No more station guessing: This new app tracks LRT & MRT trains in real-time

We’ve all stood on a packed station platform, craning our necks toward empty tracks, wondering if our train is five minutes away or completely broken down. That agonizing game of commute roulette might finally be over. ​ FlightRadar for the MRT? Meet the App That Wants to Fix Your Daily Commute ​If you navigate Metro Manila’s transit web every day, you already know the routine: you step onto the platform, look at your watch, and hope for the best.

What the LTO says about changing mag wheels, rims and tires of your car, motorcycle

The new LTO PMVIC, or the Land Transportation Office - Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers, has started operations in some parts of the country for inspections of cars and motorcycles due for registration renewal. Dubbed as MVIS (Motor Vehicle Inspection System), it aims to test the roadworthiness of private and commercial vehicles prior to their registration. This also includes the checking of modifications, upgrades and accessories that have been installed on your vehicles - whether factory or aftermarket. If they don't meet LTO standards, you fail the test. Failing the MVIS test means you have to retake the inspection and worse, you can't register your vehicle any more. For purposes of discussion, I chose to talk about wheels and tires because they are the most frequently modified parts of our cars and motorcycles. Now comes the question: Is it considered illegal to replace your wheels with aftermarket mag wheels? Can those u...

Can local enforcers take your license? The LTO-Bacoor showdown explained

Imagine getting flagged down by local traffic officers on your daily commute, handed a ticket, and watched as your physical driver's license gets slipped into their pocket. If you are driving through Bacoor, Cavite, local officials insist that is standard operating procedure. But step back for a moment—because according to national transportation authorities, that officer might be overstepping their legal bounds entirely. ​ The Local Stance: "Not Metro Manila, Not Our Rules" ​The conflict erupted after the City Government of Bacoor released a public reminder backing its local traffic code (City Ordinance No. 11-2019). Their argument? They claim that recent high-profile court rulings restricting local license confiscations only apply to Metro Manila LGUs operating under the MMDA. ​Since Bacoor sits outside the National Capital Region, city hall asserts that its autonomous powers under the Local Government Code grant its enforce...
