Driving licence renewal in Vanuatu
Renewing a Vanuatu driving licence typically involves applying at the Department of Land Transport, providing necessary identification and the current licence, and paying the applicable fee. The process is generally straightforward.
It is advisable to begin the renewal process a few weeks before the current licence expires. This allows ample time for potential processing delays, appointment scheduling if required, or if additional documentation is requested by the authorities.
