Does anyone know about CR drivers licence renewal, they say the law has changed and you have to be a resident to get a drivers licence.
I am not a resident but have had a CR license for 2 years and need to renwew, do I still get to keep my license or are they going to tell me that I cannot renew?
Has anyone had the experience?
my husband renews this year, but we became residents since we obtained our first costa rica license, I don’t know what that changes for us.
It has been reported elsewhere that, if you already have a Costa Rican driver’s license, you will be able to renew it without any problems.
You should also be aware that there are other driver’s license offices than La Uruca scattered around the country. One of them may be much more convenient for you.

Your current license probably does not have your [i]cedula[/i] number on it. When you go to renew, you’ll need to ask them to change it to your [i]cedula[/i] number. The rumor is that the change can only be made at COSEVI on [i]Paso Ancho[/i] in San Jose, but [u]that is not correct[/u]. You should be able to have the number changed at any of the outlying offices. Our numbers were updated in San Ramon in October. In fact, we’ve had them changed in San Ramon twice.
