Drive Drove Driven

I took the Guam Driver’s License Written Exam last Thursday. After taking the exam, my husband picked me up, he then asked how was the exam and what did I say?

“Ano ba yan?!?! PERFECT!!!” Hahahaha.

Unlike my experience with LTO, getting a Guam Driver’s License is far from easy. In LTO, back in 2001, we had a ‘runner’ so all I had to do was “take” the written exam (for which the questionnaires contained the answers already) then fill up the forms and voila! An instant driver’s license! =P

The Philippine Driver’s License is valid in Guam for 30 days (unlike in most of the States for which it was valid for a year). You would need your passport (or SSN or a denial letter for SSN) and another ID (I used my military dependent’s ID) to apply for Guam license. You can then ask for LTO to fax a certification to DMV Guam (which has a sub-story*). After that, you fill out the application form and get a schedule for a written test. I didn’t need to take a road test since I have an LTO certification.

So the results were posted today at 12 noon.

My score: 39 out of 40.

Tsk. =P

Now all that’s left to be done is go back to the DMV office, have your picture taken, your eye checked up, and then finally pick up your license. With all that hassle, it’s good to know the license is valid for 3 years.

Whewww!!! ;)

* LTO Sub-Story

I asked my brother to file for the LTO certification in my behalf. He handed over my authorization letter to the LTO personnel. The letter states that my license certification be FAXED over to Guam DMV, etc. He paid 100 pesos fee. He was then asked to go back to claim the transaction after 1 week.

I was confused why LTO had my brother go back since they only needed to fax it anyway. So when my brother went back to LTO, he asked about the faxed transaction and what did LTO say?

“Ahh, i-fa-fax ba???”
