3. For foreign nationals in the Philippines, present the original passport plus photocopies of pages showing identification and date of last arrival. If you are a permanent resident, present your passport and/or Alien Certificate Registration along with requirements no. 1 and 2.

Philippine International Driving Permit is just one of the benefits of being a AAP member. Members can also avail the following benefits and services: 24/7 Emergency Roadside Service, LTO Registration Assistance, Insurance Products and Services.

The Emergency Roadside Service (ERS) will help you through unexpected difficulties with your vehicle, or the one in which you are riding. You can call for ERS assistance whether you are the driver or passenger of the car other than the one registered under your membership provided that you are personally present at the time of the service request.

Call ERS hotlines for towing, flat tire change, dead battery, curt trailer hitches failure, home start or fuel provision services when your car breaks down anywhere in Metro Manila, Metro Cebu and Metro Davao, and in areas where AAP is the exclusive ERS provider which include the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), the Skyway and ground level expressway from Magallanes to Alabang, the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) from Alabang to Calamba.
