Misuse of driving licence by tourists

The Department of Immigration and Emigration will team up with the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to prevent the misuse of driving licence as a form of identity, by foreign tourists in instances where their identity has been questioned by the authorities.

The two departments are holding discussions to find a solution to the problem in the issue of driving licence to tourists who arrive here for a short stay. The decision was made considering several instances where overstaying tourists had tried to produce their driving licence instead of their passports to the authorities.

The tourists who arrive with a one year visa, apply and obtain the driving licence which is valid upto eight years.

The Controller of the Department of Immigration and Emigration Chulananda Perera told the Sunday Observer that the department had discovered this anomaly and sought the assistance of the RMV to formulate a method to issue temporary licences to tourists.
