Drivers License

Acquiring a Driver Licence in Panama

To apply for a Panamanian driver’s license as a Canadian or American citizen, you first need legal residency in Panama. After that, you can validate your foreign driver’s license by visiting your embassy for notarization and then authenticating it at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You’ll also need to complete medical and blood tests, enroll in a driving school for the required training, and then apply at SERTRACEN with all your documents. Once you pass any tests and pay the fees, you’ll receive your Panamanian license.
