AngolaHow to Get a Driver's License in Angola
Summary: Here's a primer on how to get your driver's license in Angola.
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 Angola.
Foreigners who wish to drive in Angola must have a valid international driving permit (IDP) along with their valid home country driving license. The IDP must be obtained in the driver's home country before traveling to Angola. It's also important to note that the driving license must be in English or Portuguese, or it should be accompanied by an official translation. Additionally, the driver must be at least 18 years old, which is the legal driving age in Angola.
As for insurance, it is mandatory to have third-party liability insurance. It's also recommended to have comprehensive insurance. Foreign drivers should always carry their driving license, IDP, passport, and insurance documents when driving.
There are no specific requirements that differ based on the city, state, or region in Angola. However, it's worth noting that road conditions can vary greatly across the country, and some areas may require a 4x4 vehicle. Also, due to security issues, it's recommended to avoid driving outside major cities after dark.
