📋 Tender Overview
The sector guarantees the strengthening of local management by completing the transfer of functions regarding drivers licenses and water transportation.The Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC) completed the process of transferring sectoral functions to the Metropolitan Regional Government of Lima from the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima (MML) in compliance with its role as governing body and main promoter of the modernization of transportation in the country.
Through Ministerial Resolution No. 040-2026-MTC/01.02, the MTC made official the delivery of two sectoral powers. The first, in terms of port authorizations, licenses and permits for the provision of maritime, river and lake port services. The second, in terms of drivers licenses, which will allow the Lima community to exercise comprehensive control for the development of the capital.
According to the provisions of the aforementioned resolution, the MTC will execute the necessary administrative actions to transfer the related assets and documentary collection, following the rules of the National Superintendence of State Assets (SBN).
According to the General Directorate of Transportation Authorizations of the MTC, the management of the MTC has made it possible to close the pending gap, granting full authority for the issuance of drivers licenses in Metropolitan Lima, including the evaluation of rules and driving, for applicants for a class A license (individuals and professionals).
With this measure, the MTC guarantees that the permit issuance process is managed directly by the regional authority, under the technical and regulatory standards dictated by the sector, through the National Driver System - SNC administered by the MTC, streamlining citizen service.
The fulfillment of this milestone is the result of rigorous technical management led by the ministry to fulfill the commitment to effective decentralization, which empowers regional authorities, said the head of the MTC, Aldo Prieto Barrera.
With this action, the MTC is positioned at the forefront of State reform, finalizing the transfer of the process for issuing Class A licenses (individuals and professionals) to all regional governments, ensuring that they have the necessary tools to manage licenses with autonomy and responsibility, in their respective jurisdictions.
