READ: ONLY LTO CAN CONFISCATE DRIVERS LICENSE, SAYS DILG

DILG’s Joint Memorandum Circular (JMC) No. 01, s., 2008 dated September 14, 2022, states that “the LGUs can issue traffic citation tickets but only the LTO and their deputized agents can confiscate drivers’ licenses.”

The memo also directs LGUs to “review their ordinances, orders, and local policies, to ensure conformity and compliance with the said provision and with the entirety o the above-cited JMC.”
