Need a Brunei driving license? Buy online now, a simple guide!

I wanted to share my experience on getting a Brunei driving license. It turned out to be a bit of an adventure, so I thought I’d share some tips.

First off, I went to a driving school. Sounds basic, right? But it’s a must-do. I sat through theory lessons about road rules. I learned a lot, even though I thought I knew most of it already. It’s all about playing by the rules here.

After the driving school, I made sure I had all the right documents. You need to be at least 21 years old to get some classes of driving license, like the ones for bigger vehicles. Since I’m way past that, I didn’t have any issues. But it’s something to keep in mind.

• Enroll in a driving school and complete the theory lessons.
• Make sure you’re the right age – 21 for most license types.
• Gather all the necessary documents.

Next, I headed to the JPD (that’s the Land Transport Department). You can go to any of their branches. If your license is lost or damaged, you’ll need a police report. I filled out the application form and took it to the licensing officer. This part was pretty straightforward. They just checked everything and processed my application.

Important Things I Learned

• If you’re planning to stay in Brunei for more than three months and want to drive, you’ll need a local license.
• They accept international driving permits, but only for three months. After that, you’ll need a Brunei license.

I also found out that an International Driving Permit (IDP) is basically a translation of your national license. It lets you drive in foreign countries. If you’re just visiting Brunei for a short time, your IDP should be enough. But for long-term stays, a local license is the way to go.

In the end, I got my Brunei driving license. It took a bit of time and effort, but now I can drive around legally. If you’re planning to drive here, just follow these steps, and you should be fine. It’s not as complicated as it seems, just a bit of paperwork and following the rules.
