Having a driver’s license is a privilege, a sign that the Land Transportation Office (LTO) deems you fit to handle a vehicle. Those that the LTO deem really good drivers can get a driver’s license that will be valid for up to 10 years. Keep in mind that the operative word is “can” and the 10-year validity doesn’t apply to everyone. You may use your country's driver license as proof of driving experience if you have an International Driver Permit issued by your country or if your country is a member of the United Nations Convention on Road Traffic and your license is translated into English by a consulate or an MVC approved translator. This permit is issued by local automobile clubs and is not valid unless it’s accompanied by the owner’s original driving license. This International Driving Permit is usually seen more like of a translation of the driver’s license and is extremely useful in countries like Russia and Arabic or Asian countries that are using non-Latin scripts.
