Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a local license?
Yes. Driving a Tuk Tuk (three-wheeler) in Sri Lanka legally requires a specific endorsement. Even if you have an International Driving Permit (IDP), you must get it verified and endorsed locally to drive a Tuk Tuk.
How long does it take?
If you use our service, it takes us about 1-2 working days to process. For you, it takes zero time. If you do it yourself, expect to spend 4-6 hours waiting in queues in Colombo.
What if I don't have a car license?
You must possess a valid driving license from your home country (car or motorcycle) to be eligible for the temporary Sri Lankan driving license.
