Getting Your Aruba Drivers License: A Step-by-Step Order Guide!

Okay, so I needed to get an Aruba driver’s license. It was a bit of a process, but I figured it out, and now I’m here to share my experience with you guys.

First, I did some digging online. I found out that if you’re a tourist, you don’t actually need a local license to drive in Aruba if you have a valid one from your home country. But I wanted to get one, just to have it. I came across something called an International Driving Permit (IDP), but apparently, Aruba recognizes physical IDPs, not just digital ones. The rules vary, so I knew I had to be careful.

I found out that to get an IDP from Aruba, you need to be a citizen with a valid Aruba driver’s license. So, I started there. I got my hands on the right forms. Gotta say, navigating through these forms was a bit of a hassle, but it’s all part of the process, right?

Applying for the License

Next, I had to actually apply. It wasn’t super straightforward, I won’t lie. I mean, driving in a foreign country can be a little scary. But I really wanted to explore Aruba on my own terms, so I pushed through.

• Filled out the forms: This was pretty standard stuff, but you need to make sure all your information is correct.
• Gathered necessary documents: You’ll need your valid driver’s license from back home, and some other IDs.
• Submitted the application: I found the right place to submit all my paperwork.

After submitting, I waited. And waited. It felt like forever, but eventually, I got the good news! They approved my application, and I could get my Aruba driver’s license.

Getting the License

The next step was getting the actual license. This part was smoother. I went to the licensing office, paid a fee, and they took my photo. Within minutes, I had my Aruba driver’s license in hand! It felt pretty awesome, not gonna lie.

Now, I also learned about something called an evaluation license key. It’s for a free trial of Aruba Central, which lets you manage up to 60 devices. I don’t need that for now, but it’s good to know. They have different subscription licenses, like Foundational and Advanced, with different terms. Maybe that’s something for the future.

So, there you have it! That’s how I got my Aruba driver’s license. It was a journey, but totally worth it. Now I can freely explore the beaches, markets, and everything else Aruba has to offer. If you’re planning to drive in Aruba and want that extra peace of mind, maybe consider getting a local license too. It’s a bit of work, but hey, it’s an adventure!
