How to Merge Duplicate LTMS Accounts
Before you begin merging, you need to confirm that you actually have duplicate accounts. Here’s how you can verify:
If both accounts have the same records but different email addresses, they are most likely duplicates.
Log into each account you believe might be duplicated using different email addresses or LTO client numbers.
Ensure that each account is linked to the same driver’s license number or vehicle registration details.
Once you’ve confirmed that you have duplicate accounts, contact LTO customer service to request a merge. You can reach them by:
- Visiting the LTMS portal and using the Contact Us form.
- Emailing LTO at their official customer support email address (usually listed on the LTMS portal).
- Calling the LTO hotline for immediate assistance.
Be sure to provide the following details to help the LTO team identify and merge your accounts:
The records you wish to merge (e.g., driver’s license, vehicle registration).
Your LTO client number (if available).
Your name, birthdate, and contact details.
The email addresses linked to your accounts.
After contacting customer support, LTO will guide you through the process of merging your accounts. They may ask you to:
Choose which email address or phone number you want to keep for the merged account.
Provide additional documentation (e.g., proof of identity, affidavit, or previous registration records).
Confirm the account details to ensure they match across both accounts.
LTO will process your request and merge your duplicate accounts. This process can take a few days to a week, depending on their workload and the complexity of your request. Be patient and check your email for updates.
Once your accounts are merged, you should receive confirmation from LTO. You’ll now be able to access all your records in a single account, making it easier to manage your LTMS services.
