Well, bless your heart, you wanna know about gettin’ a Vatican drivin’ license, huh? It ain’t like buyin’ a bag of turnips at the market, that’s for sure. Let me tell ya, it’s a whole different kettle of fish.
First off, I ain’t never heard of nobody just straight up buyin’ a license from them Vatican folks. Sounds fishy to me. You gotta earn it, like a good day’s work. From what I hear, it’s all mixed up with them Italy rules, seein’ as that Vatican City is just a tiny spot inside of Italy.
Now, if you’re just visitin’ and wanna drive around, what you really need is one of them “international drivin’ permits.” Think of it like a pass, lets you drive legal-like for a spell. Get one of them before you even leave your home place, makes things a heap easier.

- They say you can get it from some transportation company, whatever that is. Sounds fancy.
- Or you can do it online, which seems easier for us old folks who don’t like to go traipsin’ around.
But listen here, if you’re plannin’ on livin’ there, that’s a whole ‘nother story. You gotta go through their whole process, just like them Italians do. First, they make you learn all sorts of rules, like you’re back in school! Then, they test you, twice! One test with questions, and then one where you actually gotta drive a car. And get this, they even want you to have one of them elementary school papers, like you ain’t smart enough to drive without it! It’s a rigmarole, I tell ya.
Now, some folks on the internet, they’ll tell you all sorts of things. They’ll say, “Oh, it’s easy, just click here and buy it!” Don’t you believe ’em! Most of them are just tryin’ to take your money. I heard tell of some websites sayin’ you can buy a license easy peasy, but it sounds like a scam to me. They might take your money and run, and then where will you be? Stuck without a license and out of pocket too!
If you’re an American goin’ over there to see the sights, you better get yourself an international permit before you even set foot on that boat or airplane, or whatever it is you’re takin’. You can get it from that AAA place, they deal with all that travel stuff. Just make sure you do it before you go, ’cause doin’ it over there is a whole lot harder.
And listen here, if you’re lookin’ for information online, be careful. Not everything you read is true, you know? Some of them websites, they just make things up. They say it takes eight minutes to get a permit, but I bet it takes longer than that to boil a pot of potatoes! You gotta be smart about it.
So, to sum it all up, this Vatican drivin’ license ain’t somethin’ you just buy. You gotta go through the proper channels, whether it’s gettin’ an international permit for a visit or goin’ through the whole Italian process if you’re gonna live there. And don’t go fallin’ for them scams on the internet. They’ll just leave you high and dry. Better to do things the right way, even if it takes a little longer. It ain’t rocket science, but it ain’t simple neither. You gotta be patient and persistent, like a hen hatchin’ eggs. And that’s all there is to it.
Remember, drivin’ safe is important wherever you are. Don’t be speedin’ around like a bat out of heck. Take your time and pay attention to the road. And for goodness sake, don’t be lookin’ at your phone while you’re drivin’! That’s just askin’ for trouble. Be safe and smart out there.
Now, I’ve told you all I know, and maybe a bit more. Go on and do what you gotta do, and good luck to ya. Just remember what this old woman told ya, and you’ll be just fine.
