Thanks for the info. Since I don't speak Spanish, this could be a problem. LOL 1. I notice there are no Driving Instruction comapnies here - and it is obvious! 2. Spanish - no problem - tip the guy at the DMV and he will not only interpret but tell you the right answers. You really should not talk for the sake of talking. Mr Cut and Paste . Your are incorrect. Driving schools do exist. Driving schools do exist????? Really. You would never know based on the driving of 99% of the DR people. William Visit: www.caribbeanrealty.ca www.casablancacabarete.com

RE: Dominican Drivers License

i do not think that many of the answers here are correct ..As I understand it you can drive here for 3 months with your US licence and then to get a Dominican licence you will need first to have either a cedular or a certificate of residency ..that will be your first hurdle . Then you need to pass the Spanish reading test which you may or may not be able to negotiate your way through with some pesos and sometimes they want you to speak a little spanish also ..It depends where you go and I think it is a good idea to take a reputable Dominican with you.
I have been driving here for about 5 years without a dominican licence but I normally leave and return every 3 months. Best to get correct info

I know some of you already posted this info before but; Please do not be to smart on this !!! If you are in the Country for more than 3 month, your foreign Drivers License is not valid in the DR, regardless if it is a national or international or what ever expire date it has on it. We all know that either PN or Amet care to much about it, but; If you are involved in a Accident, YOUR INSURANCE WILL NOT PAY ONE CENT ! P E R I O D ! ! ! Your Dominican Counterpart (from the accident) does not have to look for a Lawyer, the Lawyers will find him and you will send all of their Kid's to Collage. Edited on 8/17/2009 2:37 PM by Patricia.

Most Dominicans don't have one. They are very careless drivers. Be VERY carefull. Use all 3 mirrors and watch steady. Have fun! Tom. I think the licence is good for 3 months not 6

I have received conflicting info from Police, Air force, AMET & Gov't. And then there are my friends, lots, they mostly tell me to be very careful & don't drive at night. Especially on weekends! (VERY GOOD ADVICE). So who is correct? Tommy
