Buy North Korean drivers license online easily. A guide for beginners here.

Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another wild ride. This time, I tried to buy a North Korean driver’s license online. Yeah, you heard that right. North Korea. Let me tell you, it wasn’t a walk in the park.

First, I had to do some digging. I started with the usual search engines, but honestly, I wasn’t getting anywhere. It was all vague stuff about exchanging foreign licenses or taking tests in Korea. Nothing about getting a North Korean one specifically. So, I dug deeper. I went through forums, found some obscure articles, and even read about school kids learning to drive there. It’s wild how they start them young. Apparently, driving lessons are an optional thing in some schools, with real cars and everything.

Then I found out about the different license levels. The third grade one is the most common, and it lets you drive cars. That’s the one I was aiming for. I also learned that the Ministry of Public Security is in charge of all this, and licenses need to be renewed every 5 years. It’s all pretty organized, but getting my hands on one from here? That was the real challenge.

I tried to find any online service that could help me, but no luck. Everything was either a dead end or seemed super sketchy. I wasn’t about to throw my money into some black hole. So, I started thinking, maybe I need to connect with someone over there. I reached out to a few contacts I found on a travel forum—people who had been to North Korea. I explained my crazy idea and waited.

• Sent messages to three different contacts
• Two didn’t reply, probably thought I was nuts
• One got back to me, a guy named Kenji. Said he knew someone who might help, but no promises.

Kenji eventually gave me a contact, a local from Pyongyang. We chatted a bit, and he seemed legit. He explained the process: I needed to provide my details, a photo, and, of course, a hefty fee. The whole thing felt like a spy movie. I sent over the info, transferred the money through a convoluted method he suggested, and then… I waited.

Days turned into weeks. I was starting to think I got scammed. But then, one day, a package arrived. Inside, nestled between layers of bubble wrap, was a North Korean driver’s license. My photo, my name, the works. It looked incredibly real, although I had no way to verify its authenticity.

My Thoughts

Honestly, the whole experience was surreal. I never thought I’d actually get a North Korean driver’s license. It’s not something you can use anywhere, of course, but it’s a crazy souvenir and a story to tell. Would I recommend this to anyone else? Probably not. It was a lot of hassle, a lot of waiting, and a lot of uncertainty. But hey, it made for one heck of a blog post, right?

So there you have it. My journey to buying a North Korean driver’s license. It’s a reminder of how different things are in different parts of the world, and how far some of us will go for a unique experience. Stay tuned for my next adventure, folks. You never know what I’ll get up to next.
