Alright, let’s talk about how I managed to get a Cambodian driving license online. It was a bit of a journey, but I got it done, and I’m here to share the whole process with you guys.
First off, I started by doing some digging online. I knew there had to be a way to apply for a driving license without going through too much hassle. That’s when I stumbled upon a few options. One that caught my eye was applying through the International Drivers Association (IDA). They had a website where you could fill out an application form and upload your documents. Sounded pretty convenient, so I decided to check it out.
I visited the IDA website, and it was all pretty straightforward. Filled out the application with my details, uploaded my passport photo, and a copy of my current license. It was all done online, no need to print anything or go anywhere. Easy peasy.
But then I found out that there’s a new way to apply for a 10-year license online through the Ministry of Public Works and Transport’s website. It’s all in Khmer, but I used a translator, and it worked out. I could fill in my personal information, take the theory test, and even pay the fee online. That seemed even more convenient, so I gave it a shot.
I went to the website, filled in all my info, and scheduled a theory test. The website was a bit clunky, but I managed to get through it. I studied up a bit on Cambodian traffic rules, just to be safe, and then took the test online. Passed it on the first try, which was a relief.
After that, I found out that there are a couple of places where you can apply for a 1-year license in person. One of them is the new Aeon Mall, also known as Aeon 2 or Aeon Sen Sok. But since I was already doing everything online, I decided to stick with the online process for the 10-year license.
I continued with the online application, paid the fee, and waited. It took a bit longer than I expected, but eventually, I got an email saying my application was approved. I just had to go to a local office to get my photo taken and pick up the physical license.
