I understand the following (with questions) for obtaining a St. Lucia (SL) driver's license:
1. Cost is 55 ECD/20.37 USD every 3 months. Can you pay for a year at a time or just 3 months at a time? Are lines long for paying this once you've received your initial license?
HOW LONG does it take to be approved for your license? In other words if I go to the office on Monday, do I receive the license during that visit if all paperwork is complete, or is there a waiting period?
2. A medical certificate from doctor is required. Is this required for all ages? Can we get this letter from our home country doctor, or must it be a doctor in SL? Are doctors easily available for these certificates in SL if we wait until we arrive?
3. A letter is required from your Auto Insurance Company listing any claims. What if a claim is on the letter? Does this prevent one from obtaining a license?
4. "Just visiting" the island....can one rent a vehicle on their home land's license for their stay?
5. Are vehicles "registered" as they are in the States? If so, are these additional fees, etc.?
Am I missing anything else I should know in simply being legal to drive?
