Hi all,
Can a foreigner take the driving test in Peru?
What are the formalities to get a driver's licence in Peru?
Do you need special or extra documents being an expatriate?
How much does it cost?
Thank you for participating

Members of the automobile club in the U.S. and many other countries, can get the international driver's license in a few minutes for 15 dollars if you have a state issued driver's license
I use mine when I drive my car in Peru as I enter the country as a tourist and have not yet obtained a carnet de extranjeria which would be required to get a Peruvian license.
I have been stopped many times over the last two years and I present my international permit and show them the page which has the spanish wording. Frequently, they ask how long I have been in Peru and ask to see my entry permit and sometimes ask why I have not yet obtained a Peruvian license. As all my papers are in order, they wish me a good day and I am on my way. MY SUGGESTION: Do not show them your foreign license, you might not get it back if they are writing you a ticket. (I have never been asked for mine)
