Who can’t confiscate your license?

Traffic enforcers who flag you down for a violation for may ask you to show your driver’s
license. While you may be inclined to do so, you are not mandated by law to surrender it to
them.

only the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and its deputized officers can confiscate
licenses, which doesn’t include “the MMDA and airport police, much less our village
security guards or homeowners associations that demand you to surrender your license
upon entry.”

. Who can confiscate your license?

Some local government units in the Philippines who have their own traffic police units have
the power to confiscate your license. According to Republic Act 7160, or more known as the
Local Government Code of 1991, smaller governments can implement their own traffic
management program.

If a city like Makati has its own set of traffic ordinances, they also have the right to demand
for your license based on “an inherent authority of government to impose restrictions on
private rights for the sake of public welfare, order and security.”
