Alexito10 Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Need to get a new driver's license but the Chapala office has been closed since March due to COVID-19. Anyone know if Ocotlan office is open? Or Guadalajara office? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Having a recently expired license isn't the problem here it is NOB. I'd wait it out before I'd go to that GDL license office with its crowds. No social distancing there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVGRINGO Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 You must have a state driver's license. The International is simply a translation, and must refer to a valid license, which must also be shown. It is not valid alone, or in the country where it was obtained. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Basically a useless document. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Well, it could be useful if your license is in Arabic, Greek, or some other alphabet than Latin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 DL in most Arab countries are bilingual. Been there, done that and used to rent a car in multiple countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there are some European countries where the police require and international permit if you happen to be stopped by them. Rental companies aren't the problem. The police can be. At least that has been my personal experience. Maybe not all police are not bilingual and require the translation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
