Getting a local driver's license
| Getting a local driver's license If you have a foreign valid driver's license, you can validate it at City Hall (Intendencia) and they'll give you a local one by submitting the following documentation:1. a local valid ID (cedula de identidad) 2. a foreign valid driver's license 3. a translation of the foreign driver's licnese (by a certified public translator) 4. proof that you have been in Uruguay LESS than one year (show passport or Immigration entry form) 5. Pay a fee of $815 uruguayan pesos Where: City Hall (Intendencia) 18 de Julio IMPORTANT NOTE: I strongly recommend that if you do not know how to drive a stick shift, please DO NOT attempt driving in Montevideo prior to taking driving lessons at a certified, well-recognized, local driving school...even if you get a local driver's license. |
Comment #107/15/10 06:07Rural east Colonia departmento | "Procedures vary"
Each departmento seems to do it differently. I believe you need to take a medical exam in MVD which you don't in Colonia. OTOH you have to take a tick-box written test in Colonia but if you are over 60, you also have to reverse your car between some cones. In Colonia you only pay if you pass so the examiner is "helpful" in "clarifying" any difficult questions :-) |
| "Read closely"
Dan simply presented his US drivers license and walked out with an Uruguayan license.No written test. No driving test. He is the first person I've heard of that completely this process "hassle free". If you were to apply for a new license, you'd have a medical exam, written test and driving test to be completed. So, if you can follow his lead. |

I've been just using my current and presenting my Passport with it should I get stopped, which I haven't. But it is under a year for me, so that's what I'm going to try. "Follow the Leader!" (o: |
| "medical exam"
Oops! I did forget to mention it... Sorry guys! Yes, I did have to get it and it is one of the requirements. But it was such a breeze I quickly forgot about it. I went to UCM on Blvd Artigas (near the Tres Cruces Bus Depot) and got it in less than 15 minutes. The cost: around $500 Uruguayan pesos. |

"Oops! I did forget to mention it..."I too forgot to mention that in Colonia, you also need a letter from the local police saying that you live here. To qualify for such a letter, you don't actually need to live here all the time but you do need to take a cake to the cop shop to convince the police to say that you do :-) |

Anything else one might do for the local cops, Pat? ;-) |
| "Set a good example!"
Respect the law! Remember the policeman is your friend. |
Comment #807/17/10 12:51Rural east Colonia departmento | "La policia... my flexible friends"
I get on well with my local policia and with the lads and lassies who run the local departmental police training college just down the road in La Paz (CP.) I got a ticking off from the local Jefe in Valdense about looking where I was walking when two of his small children almost ran me down with their quad bike but generally speaking, la policia do a good job suppressing robberies, upholding our nice middle class way of life and they share our general disdain for the sillier laws passed in far-away Montevideo. Each Christmas I buy them a big box of revolver ammunition to help improve their marksmanship. In my view a bullet allowance of 2 rounds per officer per annum isn't enough to ensure the safety of passers-by if a firefight was ever to brake out. |

I agree with you Pat. Having a good relationship with the local police is not only basic common sense but you're also setting a good example. |
