As part of this regulation, all applicants seeking to obtain a driver’s license in the Virgin Islands, and who currently hold a valid driver’s license from another country or jurisdiction, will be required to provide a Driver’s License Report. 

This report must be obtained from the relevant authority in the country or jurisdiction that issued the applicant's current driver’s license. 

Verifying validity

According to a recent announcement on the Department of Motor Vehicles' official Facebook page, the Driver’s License Report is a crucial document that must verify both the status and validity of the applicant’s existing driver’s license. 

It added that any applications submitted without the necessary Driver’s License Report will not be processed. 

To facilitate a smoother application process, individuals are strongly encouraged to obtain the Driver’s License Report before submitting their applications. This proactive step will help to prevent potential delays and ensure that the transition to obtaining a Virgin Islands driver’s license is as efficient as possible.
