Alright, so I needed a new driver’s license, and since I’m in Turkmenistan, I figured, why not try to get it done online? It seemed like a long shot, but I was willing to give it a go. I’ve heard some wild stories about getting official documents here, so I was prepared for anything.
First things first, I started by searching for any official government websites that handle driver’s licenses. Let me tell you, that was a bit of a maze. I stumbled upon a few sites that looked promising, but some of them were outdated or just plain confusing.
- Checked for any recent changes in the law.
- Looked for official announcements.
- Tried to find the most recent information I could.
After a few days, I finally found a website that seemed legit and up-to-date. It had a section for driver’s license applications, which was a good sign. I carefully read through the requirements and made sure I had all the necessary documents scanned and ready to upload. I Gathered all the necessary documents, like my passport, my old driver’s license, and proof of residency.

Filled out the application
The online application form was pretty straightforward. I had to fill in my personal details, driving history, and some other basic info. I took my time to double-check everything before submitting it. I answered all the questions honestly and accurately. After filling out the form, I uploaded all the required documents.
Once I submitted the application, I received a confirmation email with a reference number. I made a note of the reference number and waited. The email said it would take a few weeks to process, so I tried to be patient, but I was still a little nervous.
Waited for the processing
A couple of weeks later, I got another email saying my application was approved. I was so relieved! The email instructed me to visit a local driver’s license office to finalize the process and pick up my new license.
I went to the office, presented my documents, and paid the required fee. They took my photo and fingerprints, and then I waited for a bit longer while they printed my new license.
Finally, I got my new Turkmenistan driver’s license! It was a bit of a journey, but I managed to do it without too much hassle. It is a cool experience. And I hope you can get some useful information from it.
