TRAFFIC VIOLATION RECORD CHECKING

How to Check Traffic Violations Through LTMS

Learn how to review traffic violation information available through your official LTMS account, check apprehension details, and request assistance when a record is missing or incorrect.

  1. Open the Official LTMS Portal

    Visit portal.lto.gov.ph using a secure browser. Make sure you are on the official LTO website.

  2. Sign In to Your Account

    Enter your registered email or LTO Client Number, password and security code on the official login page.

  3. Find Available Violation Services

    Review the services displayed in your account. If a traffic violation or settlement option is available, open it to review the relevant records.

  4. Check Apprehension Information

    For any record shown, examine the available violation type, issuing authority, reference number and transaction status.

  5. Confirm the Correct Settlement Channel

    Check which authority issued the ticket. Some violations must be handled directly by an LGU, MMDA or another authorized enforcement agency.

  6. Save Details or Request Assistance

    Keep your ticket and any official reference information. If a record is missing, incorrect or disputed, contact the issuing authority or LTO as appropriate.

Important: LTMS is not guaranteed to display every ticket issued by every enforcement agency. A missing record does not necessarily mean the violation was cancelled. Only use authorized government channels to verify, contest or settle a traffic violation. LTMSPortal.info cannot retrieve personal violation records or accept fine payments.
DRIVER’S LICENSE DEMERIT POINTS

LTO Demerit Points System & Driver’s Reorientation Course

Understand how traffic violations may add demerit points to your driver’s license record, what the point classifications mean, and how accumulated points can affect license renewal.

1

Light Violation

A traffic offense classified as light under the applicable LTO demerit point schedule.

3

Less Grave Violation

A more serious traffic offense assigned three demerit points under the published rules.

5

Grave Violation

A serious offense classified as grave under the applicable LTO demerit point schedule.

How Demerit Points Work

01

Traffic Violation Is Recorded

Demerit points may be recorded when an apprehension is admitted, uncontested after the permitted period, or resolved against the driver following adjudication.

02

Points Are Accumulated

Points accumulate during the applicable driver’s license validity period. Multiple violations in one apprehension may be assessed separately.

03

Higher Points Mean More Requirements

Accumulated points may affect license renewal, additional license codes and other licensing privileges.

04

Verify Your Official Record

Check any demerit point information available through authorized LTO services. If a record appears incorrect, contact LTO or the responsible issuing authority.

Demerit Points & Renewal Requirements

0–4

Below the DRC Threshold

The five-point DRC renewal threshold has not been reached. Other licensing requirements or penalties may still apply.

5–9

Driver’s Reorientation Course

Complete the required Driver’s Reorientation Course before renewing the driver’s license.

10+

DRC & Theoretical Examination

Additional renewal requirements apply, including the DRC and a theoretical examination. Higher-point cases may involve further restrictions.

Good to know: Under the published rules, demerit points are accumulated between license issuance or renewal periods. A reset at renewal does not cancel unpaid fines, case records or other legal consequences.
Visit Official LTMS Portal ↗
Important: Special rules may apply to public utility vehicle drivers, repeat offenders and applicants with high demerit-point totals. Driver’s Reorientation Course requirements are separate from ordinary CDE learning. Confirm your actual points and required steps directly with LTO.

Authorized Fine Payment Methods

ONLINE — IF AVAILABLE

Official LTMS Payment

Some eligible LTO apprehension transactions may offer electronic settlement options. Follow the payment instructions displayed in the official transaction.

IN PERSON

Authorized LTO Office

Where online settlement is unavailable, certain apprehensions may be settled over the counter at an authorized LTO office, subject to case status and required procedures.

ISSUING AGENCY

LGU, MMDA or Other Authority

Tickets issued by another authorized enforcement agency may need to be settled through that agency’s designated official payment process.

ELIGIBLE APPREHENSIONS

Authorized On-Site Electronic Payment

LTO guidelines also provide for on-site electronic settlement of certain admitted apprehensions through authorized enforcement devices. This does not apply to contested cases.

Before Paying: Confirm the ticket reference, issuing authority, assessed amount and official payment destination. Keep the acknowledgment and official receipt after settlement. Never transfer money to an officer’s personal account.
Visit Official LTMS Portal ↗
Important: A traffic citation is not automatically payable through LTMS. Contested cases may require adjudication before settlement. Fine amounts, payment deadlines and available methods depend on the applicable law, case status and issuing authority. LTMSPortal.info does not accept payments or process official traffic violation settlements.
TRAFFIC FINE PAYMENT GUIDE

  1. Prepare Your Violation Details

    Keep the official ticket or apprehension notice, reference number, driver’s license information and issuing authority details ready for verification.

  2. Verify the Ticket With the Issuing Authority

    For LTO-issued records, review available details through authorized LTMS services. For LGU, MMDA or other tickets, use that agency’s official process.

    Check the assessed amount, deadline and case status. If you intend to contest the apprehension, follow the prescribed adjudication procedure instead of treating it as an admitted fine.

    Review any updated status available from the official payment channel or issuing authority. If the payment remains unreflected, contact the responsible office with your payment proof.

Important: This guide explains the general settlement process. Specific payment screens and options depend on the issuing agency, violation type and case status. A successful transfer does not automatically prove that a case has been closed until the responsible authority records the settlement. LTMSPortal.info does not collect fine payments or access personal violation records.
VIOLATIONS & PAYMENT TROUBLESHOOTING

Common Traffic Violation & Payment Problems

Find practical solutions for missing traffic tickets, incorrect fine assessments, pending payments, duplicate transactions, disputed violations, demerit point errors and LTMS account issues.

01

Traffic Violation Not Showing in LTMS

You received an apprehension ticket, but the violation is not visible in your account.

Suggested Solution Check the issuing authority and ticket reference. Contact LTO or the responsible enforcement agency to verify the case. A missing LTMS record does not mean the fine was cancelled.

Incorrect Fine Amount

The amount shown in a notice or transaction appears different from the amount you expected.

Suggested Solution Verify the offense, reference number and assessment with the issuing authority. Request an explanation or correction through the official procedure before making payment.

Payment Still Pending

You completed an online payment, but your violation status has not changed.

Suggested Solution Check the payment reference, official transaction history and payment provider confirmation. Contact the authorized payment provider or issuing office. Avoid paying again immediately.

Suggested Solution Save both transaction references and receipts. Contact the authorized payment provider and responsible agency to ask about reconciliation or an applicable refund process.

Suggested Solution Follow the prescribed adjudication or contesting procedure with the issuing authority within the applicable deadline. Keep your ticket, supporting evidence and official correspondence.

Suggested Solution Check your registered email, spam folder and available transaction history. If no receipt appears, contact the authorized payment channel with your reference.
