Alright, guys, so I’ve been trying to figure out this whole driving license thing in Saint Barthelemy, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey. I mean, who knew getting a piece of plastic could be such a hassle? Anyway, I’m here to share my experience, so maybe you won’t have to go through the same headache.
First off, I started digging around online, trying to find any information I could. I stumbled upon this online forum, something called “SBHonline.” Apparently, these folks have been dishing out advice on St. Barts for like a decade. Sounds legit, right? They had a bunch of frequently asked questions, so I started there. I found some useful information, like about how important it is to get around the island, and driving seems to be a big part of that.
- Read through some posts: I spent a good chunk of time reading through posts and comments.
- Started taking notes: Made notes on everything that seemed relevant to driving licenses.
- Checked other sites: I even cross-referenced some info with other websites to make sure it was accurate.
Then, I found a few more websites and pages talking about getting a driver’s license in Saint Martin. I know, I know, it’s not exactly the same place, but it’s close enough, and the rules are probably similar. It all seemed a bit complicated, but hey, rules are rules, I guess. They’re there for a reason, you know, to keep things safe and orderly.

Next, I found some websites that claimed to let you buy driving licenses online. Seemed a bit sketchy, but I was curious. They promised it was “easy” and “fast.” Well, let’s just say I was skeptical, but I kept that in the back of my mind. I mean, who wouldn’t want to skip the hassle, right?
After all that research, I decided to go for it. I prepared all the required documents and filled out the forms. I even practiced a bit for the driving test, you know, just to brush up on my skills, even though I saw some online resources about passing the driving test after having your learner’s permit for six months.
Finally, I went through the whole process. I took the written test, did the eye exam, and finally, the dreaded driving test. It wasn’t a walk in the park, but I managed to pass! A few weeks later, I got my Saint Barthelemy driving license in the mail. Mission accomplished!
So, there you have it, my adventure in getting a driving license in Saint Barthelemy. It wasn’t easy, but I got it done. Hopefully, my experience can help some of you out there. It’s a bit of a process, but trust me, it’s worth it in the end.
