Driving licences and insurance

[GringoCArlos]

Instead of handing over your home country's license, just say "I don't have one" or "I lost it". The Dominican drivers license people don't care. Just take the test (if they want to give it to you) , and presto -you have a DR license. I showed my cedula and no problems after that.

When I last renewed my DR license, I also had new bifocals. They gave me the eye exam in La Sirena on Ave. Lincoln, I couldn't adjust the glasses to read anything in their machine, and the lady just smiled and said no problem , and gave me the new license.

Sometimes it's an advantage to be a gringo here, as long as you 're nice to them.

What about an international drivers license? They are valid for one year.

The translation of your driving license is valid for one year. That is the purpose of the international driver license: translate
