You wanna know somethin’? This here thing, this driver’s license, it’s a big ol’ deal. ‘Specially if you’re out in them Federated States of Micronesia. Heard folks talkin’ ’bout gettin’ one online. Now, I don’t know ’bout all that fancy internet stuff, but I reckon it’s somethin’ to look into if you need to get around. You know, like, to get to the market, or maybe even to go see your kin over in another part of the islands.
Seems like a lot of folks are tryin’ to order a Federated States of Micronesia driver’s license online. I heard it can be a bit of a hassle, but it is doable. I don’t know who’s doing it but probably not very honest. And you know that you gotta have one of them licenses to drive those, what do you call ’em… automobiles? Yeah, those things. Can’t just be out there on the roads without it, no sir.
Now, back in my day, we didn’t have all this online this and online that. We just walked everywhere or maybe rode a donkey if we were lucky. But times change, I guess. And if you gotta drive, you gotta have that license. I heard there was somethin’ about needin’ one of them if you’re workin’ too, that Employment Authorization Document. Just what I heard, don’t quote me on it, but I think it’s got somethin’ to do with it.
My ol’ neighbor, she’s got one of them Federated States of Micronesia driver’s license. She says it ain’t too hard to get, but you gotta have all your papers in order. Says somethin’ about takin’ a test. Don’t know what kinda test, but I reckon it’s somethin’ you gotta study for. Maybe readin’ a book or somethin’. I never was much for readin’, but it might help to know the rules of the road, I suppose. I guess that’s why they want you to do that test. It’s important.
- You gotta have a picture of yourself.
- You gotta fill out some forms, I reckon.
- And you gotta pay some money.
How much money? I don’t know exactly. It always changes, it seems. But you gotta pay somethin’. Nothin’ in this life is free, you know. And that’s just the way it is. You want a driver’s license? You pay.
I hear tell that some folks are gettin’ these licenses online now. Order Federated States of Micronesia driver’s license online, they say. Don’t know how that works, but I reckon it’s somethin’ to do with that internet thing. That computer box everyone’s starin’ at all day. Seems mighty complicated to me, but I guess if you know what you’re doin’, it might be easier than goin’ down to the government office. Or maybe not. I truly don’t know.
But why would you want to do it online? I don’t know. Maybe you’re too busy to go down there. Or maybe you just don’t like dealin’ with all them government folks. They can be a bit… you know… Always askin’ questions and fillin’ out forms. It’s a headache, that’s for sure. But again, what do I know? I’m old. I don’t go out much.
If you from one of them unacknowledged country, you might need to take a written test. That’s what they say at least. It seems strange to me, that’s just what I hear. Probably best to check with the big shots at the office before you go through the trouble.
And then there’s that passport thing. You gotta have that too, I think, if you’re gonna be travelin’ around. Especially if you’re not from around here. I heard you can renew your Federated States of Micronesia Passport. Don’t know how to do that neither, but I reckon there’s a place you can go to get it done. Maybe the same place you get the driver’s license. Or maybe not. I told you, I am not sure. But, it’s probably somethin’ you oughta look into if you need to travel outside the country. They don’t let you go anywhere without it, not these days, I reckon.
This whole driver’s license thing, it’s a lot to think about, ain’t it? But if you need to drive, you gotta do it. Just like if you need to work, you gotta get that EAD. And if you need to travel, you gotta have that passport. It’s just the way of the world, I guess. Nothin’ we can do about it, except follow the rules and do what they tell us. It’s all so complicated. I just like the days when I walked everywhere or had the donkey. Much easier that way.
And do you need one of them International Driver License? Oh, boy. I don’t know. You are asking the wrong person. I don’t even know what that is. All I know is that if you need to drive, you need to get yourself a driver’s license. The rest of it? You are on your own.
So, if you’re thinkin’ about gettin’ one of them Federated States of Micronesia driver’s license, just remember what I said. Do your research. Find out what you need. And be prepared to pay some money and fill out some forms. And if you can do it all online, well, good for you. You’re smarter than me. I’ll just keep walkin’ or askin’ for a ride from my neighbor. I’m too old for all this new stuff. But you be careful out there, you hear? And drive safe. That’s the most important thing.
