Beware.
My wife went to renew her drivers license in Santiago. She took her old, expired license which she received in Santo Domingo years back.
Apparently, when scanning the license in their system, nothing registered. They took it to review more thoroughly and came with a verdict that, indeed, this was a fake ID.
The police on duty told my wife she'd be going to jail.
She was terrified and explained she received this ID from Obras Publica in Santo Domingo a few years ago. The teller let her know that my wife is not the first and definitely not the last person who has come in with a fake ID even though it was issued by Obras Publica.
Luckily she didn't go to jail. It was a nerve-racking experience though.
$800-something pesos wasted at BanReservas to renew the license. She has to go through the whole process like she never had a license at all.
Happened to anyone else?
