Alright, so I’ve been wanting to drive around in Venezuela, but I needed to get my hands on a Venezuelan driving license. I found out the process and I’m here to share how I got it done.
First off, I gathered all the stuff I needed. This included my passport, visa, and a medical certificate from a certified doctor in Venezuela. Oh, and I made sure I was at least 18 years old – that’s a must. I heard that foreigners can use their original driver’s license for a few months, but after that, it’s not valid anymore. So, I knew I had to get this done.
Next, I filled out the application form. It wasn’t too bad, just the usual stuff they ask for. Once that was done, I put together the completed form with all the other documents I had gathered. I double-checked everything to make sure I didn’t miss anything.

Then came the part where I had to submit everything. I went to the place where they handle these things and handed over all my documents. The person there checked everything, and thankfully, I had everything in order.
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Provide a valid passport and visa.
- Provide a medical certificate from a certified doctor in Venezuela.
Now, some folks were talking about getting an “International Driving Permit” online. It sounded fancy, but I wanted the real deal – a Venezuelan license. Plus, I heard stories about people going the “bribe” way, which is quick but definitely not the right way to do things. I’m not about that life, so I stuck to the legit process.
After a bit of waiting, I finally got my Venezuelan driving license! It felt good to have it in my hands, knowing I did everything the right way. Now I can legally drive around here without any worries.
So, if you’re planning to drive in Venezuela and need a local license, just follow these steps. It’s not as complicated as it might seem. Just gather your documents, fill out the form, and submit everything properly. You’ll be on the road in no time!
