New style driving license for foreigners?
New style driving license for foreigners?
I received my new driving license last week, and I am very unimpressed with it. Instead of the old hard plastic card I just received a thin carton card in a plastic sleeve. There's no way that card is going to last for one year in my wallet in the Cambodian climate.
I checked with several traffic policemen if they new anything about a new driving license, but of course I only met total ignorance, although one had some great advice: 'if a policeman stops you, tell him the ministry told you to use this card'.
Has Lucky Lucky just provided me with a fake, or can anyone else confirm the existence of the card?

"only met total ignorance'
Maybe they didn't know?
Anyhoo. All licences and vehicle IDs will be that way now. They are quite tough being coated what feels like polyethylene. Don't feel hard done by the ignorant locals will also be getting them.
Deal with it!

pew, pew, pew, pew!
Of course not, why should they? Fair enough, after all it's the KOW. But good to hear it's actually a real one. To be honest it looks like a cheap copy.YaTingPom wrote:"only met total ignorance'

I renewed my licence about a month or so ago and received the same type. The advantage to this one over the plastic ones is that it only takes 3 days instead of the 1 month turn around time. I would suggest you get a copy front and back and have it laminated and leave the original at home. I do that with my passport too with the main page, with picture, on one side and the current visa on the back side full size and laminated.

Are we expected to carry our passport (or a copy) around?
I have never been asked or know of anyone else who has been asked in three years, apart from when at the province with family but that was expected. They usually come to your home/business.
I have a copy of it on my phone and laminated copies of my licence, vehicle IDs and a picture of my late cat Derek.

police became suspicious of his behavior and demanded to see his passport, which they say he failed to produce
Bless
I show mine when ever I pick up mail.

They are supposed to be waterproof these new style ones
anyone want to try?
they also show less info but if your scan the QR code thingy more details there in both Khmer and English - similar to the previous style

Same deal with the new work permits, shit quality in my opinion. As others have said, just carry a laminated copy and leave the original at home.
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.
I look forward in showing my proper licence in five years to astonished onlookers. like a thing to worship.
pew, pew, pew, pew!
The encoding of the qr is really basic, they seem so easy to falsify
I took my car license to V-Silk to obtain a Cambodian one having just renewed my big bike license 2 months ago - I kept being told it was delayed and the agent didnt know why. I just returned from Vietnam and VS gave me my license and money back and said the Ministry are not doing car licenses at present.
So I came home and called Lucky and was told .....
Any ideas? Heard of this before?
Cheers

- You can renew a Cambodian license if you have one
A new one requires two trips to the Ministry but they are not sure that will be a success
This seems to apply for all classes of license
It only applies to Barang
Maybe wait a few weeks and see what happens
Any ideas? Heard of this before?
Cheers
