Okay, so, I needed to get my hands on a Cambodian driving license, and I wasn’t really keen on going through the whole traditional process. Time is money, you know? So, I started digging around online to see if there was a quicker way. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical at first, I mean, ordering a driving license online? It sounded a little too good to be true.
I started by searching on some forums and expat groups. I figured people who’ve been through similar situations would have some good advice. And boy, was I right! I found a few different websites that claimed they could help, but some looked pretty sketchy. You gotta be careful with this kind of stuff, right?
After a bit of back and forth with a couple of these online services, I finally settled on one that seemed legit. They were pretty responsive to my questions, and the whole process seemed straightforward. It was not super cheap, but much cheaper than going through any other legal way.

- First, I filled out their online form with all my details. Name, address, date of birth, the usual stuff.
- Then, I scanned my passport and a passport-sized photo and uploaded them to their website.
- Next, I made the payment. I was a little nervous about this part, but they accepted secure payment methods, so I felt a bit better.
- After that, it was just a waiting game. They said it would take about two weeks.
I’ll admit, I was constantly checking my email and their website for updates. I think I was making myself crazy with the stress and worrying too much! But then, lo and behold, about ten days later, I got an email saying my license was ready. They gave me the address of an office in Phnom Penh. My friend lives in Phnom Penh so he went to the office and picked it up for me. I paid him some tips for doing me this favor.
The next day, I drove to Phnom Penh, met my friend, and got my license. I was so excited that I got my license in just around 10 days! It looked just like the real deal. It had all the right information and security features. I even tested it out by renting a car, and it worked perfectly! I was so relieved and happy.
My Final Thoughts
Overall, I’m pretty happy with how it all turned out. It saved me a lot of time and hassle. I know some people might frown upon doing it this way, but for me, it was the best option. Just make sure you do your research and find a reputable service if you’re going to go this route. And obviously, be careful, and good luck!
