Well, lemme tell ya, getting one of them Bermuda driver’s licenses ain’t as easy as pie. But these days, you can do a whole lot online, even for that! My grandbaby showed me. Said it’s easier that way. You wanna order a Bermuda driver’s license online? Here’s the scoop, far as I can figure.
First off, you gotta find that form. They call it a driver’s license application. You can get it online, on that Bermuda government website, somewhere or other. I seen it once. Big fancy words. Or you can go down to that TCD place. That’s what they all call it, TCD. Transport Control Department. Big buildin’, I seen it. Lotsa folks comin’ and goin’.
Now, that form, you gotta fill it all out. Every last bit. Name, where you live, all that stuff. Don’t be trying to put down no fibs, now. They check it, I betcha. Better to just tell it like it is. Save yourself a whole heap of trouble later on. It is important to get this driver’s license application.

Then, there’s a test. A written test. Gotta study up on them road rules. Signs and what not. My eyes ain’t so good these days, but I reckon I could still figure out a stop sign. Back in my day, we didn’t have no fancy tests. You just got in the car and drove! But times change, I suppose. Even in Bermuda, you gotta pass this test to get that license. After the application, you gotta write an exam.
And after that, there’s another test. A driving test. Someone from that TCD place will ride along with you. Watchin’ your every move, I imagine. Makin’ sure you don’t bump into nothin’. Or nobody. Best to practice up before you go. Don’t want to be flunking that test. You can take a driving test, to show them you can drive.
Now, here’s the thing. If you already got a license, just for a regular car or one of them little motorbikes, you can do some of it online. Renew it, they call it. That’s what my grandbaby said. Somethin’ about a “eTCD” system. Sounds fancy, don’t it? This can help you to renew licences online. This is useful.
