So, I needed to get a Venezuelan driver’s license. I started the whole process, and let me tell you, it was quite the journey.
First things first, I gathered all the necessary documents. I made sure I had my passport and visa, because, you know, gotta be legit. I also got a medical certificate from a certified doctor here in Venezuela. That was a bit of a hassle, but I managed to get it done. They are really strict about the medical part, gotta make sure you’re fit to drive.
Next, I visited the official website of the National Institute of Ground Traffic and Transport (INTT). It’s all in Spanish, so I had to use my rusty Spanish skills. I managed to create an account using my national ID and some personal details. It was a bit tricky, but I figured it out eventually.

After I had my account set up, I looked for the application form for a driver’s license. Once I found it, I filled it out carefully. Then, I submitted the form along with all the other documents I had gathered earlier. I double-checked everything to make sure I didn’t miss anything.
I heard some rumors about people using bribes to get their licenses faster, but I decided to do it the legal way. It might take longer, but it’s the right thing to do. I saw some online posts talking about using an International Driving Permit, but that seemed more for tourists. I wanted the real Venezuelan license, so I stayed the course.
The website mentioned something about a QR code on the new licenses that links to your profile in their system. Apparently, it has all your info, like your medical data and the number of vehicles you own. Pretty high-tech, I guess.
- Gathered passport, visa, and medical certificate.
- Created an account on the INTT website.
- Filled out and submitted the application form.
- Decided to do everything legally, no shortcuts.
- Learned about the new QR code feature on the licenses.
It’s been a bit of a wait, but I’m still hopeful. Getting a driver’s license in a new country is always an adventure. Will keep you guys posted on how it goes!
