Dapitan Office LTO-Location and Contact Information

There is only one Land Transportation Office (LTO) in Dapitan City, Zamboanga del Norte: the LTO Dapitan Extension Office (DO). A fast, convenient, and affordable service was designed for Dapiteños in the city.

With this branch, the LTO can keep track of local and visiting drivers, car owners, and operators much more easily while they are in the city or within its geographical area of responsibility (GAOR). The LTO’s role is to enforce rules, monitor roads and land transport services in Dapitan City and ensure the safety of both drivers and pedestrians.

Dapitan City, often referred to as “Shrine City in the Philippines,” is also the capital of Mindanao Island. Aside from the famed Rizal Shrine, it is home to Gloria’s Fantasyland, the first amusement park in Mindanao. It is also a tourist attraction in and of itself.

The coastal barangays have clean, beautiful beaches, which are connected by concrete and well-paved roads. These factors make Dapitan City a popular tourist destination for both locals and foreigners, as well as a great location for both business and government offices.
