How to Get a Driver's License in Micronesia

Summary: Here's a primer on how to get your driver's license in Micronesia.

Sometimes when you're new to a country a task like getting your driver's license can make you feel like you're 16 years old again trying to pass your driver's test. Here's an overview of the process of getting your driver's license in Micronesia.

In the Federated States of Micronesia, foreigners who wish to drive must have a valid driver's license from their home country. In addition, they are required to obtain a local driving permit. This permit can be obtained from the Department of Transportation, Communications and Infrastructure in each of the four states: Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae. The process usually involves a written test and sometimes a practical driving test. The requirements are generally the same across all states, but it's always a good idea to check with the local authorities for any specific rules or regulations.
