Mark X Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Hello friends, I was a resident of Panama in 2011 and obtained my Drivers Licence. It expired at the end of 2011. I left Panama. Now I am back and as of last month am a Permanent Resident. Can I renew my old licence? How can I do this? Note: My expired licence from 2011 says "Tipo C" on the top right hand corner. My old Passport Number is also on the expired drivers licence. Do I need to update this to my CEDULA number? How do I do that? Many thanks :-) Edited April 7, 2018 by Mark X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Woolford Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Present your expired License, the original or a good copy of the Passport that you used to obtain it, and your E-Cedula, to the folks at Sertracen s.a. in Chiriqui Mall and see what they say.

Mark X Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Unfortunately I do not have the old licence. Will this be a big problem when trying to renew it? However, I do have a digital photo of it. So I have the licence number etc. Is there a Government office that I need to go to in order to update my old passport number to my new passport number (before going to renew my licence)?

Siempre Soluciones Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I'm curious to see what Sertracen says. A Panamanian friend of mine left Panama for more than 20 years and upon return was required to attend the driving school and take the written exam in order to obtain a Panamanian drivers license.

Mark X Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 In that case maybe it would be easier to apply from scratch again using my European drivers licence. Doing it that way I think no driving school is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark X Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Hi Keith. I do not have the old licence. I only have a photo of it on my phone (I can print a colour copy of this) I can also only get a copy of my old passport (not the original) I have the E-Cedula original Do you think I have a chance?

Mark X Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 I found the original licence from 2011. I got it renewed. All I needed was my current passort. A copy of my 2011 passport. My Cedula and 2011 licence. Cheers for the tips ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
