Bhavba,

Thank you so much for your reply, information and assistance!  That's so awesome!  I really appreciate you taking the time to do this.  I will definitely heed all your advice and be sure to read the guides too. 

Cheers!

Welcome to PR.  We have been here for 15 years on and off and don't speak Spanish, so an assistant is helpful, though not a must.  Expect to pay $10 - $15 an hour.   What area are you looking to live in?  The cost will vary substantially based on that. 

Your driver's license is not much more complex than at any other DMV around the country.  You need the usual stuff.  You do need your mainland license. A couple of utility bills with your PR address, a passport or birth certificate, and a Social Security card.  The latter seems to be a more important ID than it is in the States.

There is no question you need a car.  Public transport is almost non-existent.

Hello Ziggy, I moved to Puerto Rico this past April and live in Jayuya.  I’m reaching out to offer some  assistance and maybe i can help with most of your requirements.

If you would like to call me please feel free. ***. you can also email me as well. Not sure if this cite lets me add this information but, here goes;  ***

You will need a passport for driver license otherwise you wont get the gold star neccessary to fly. They arent connected to any system in states to verify birth certificates.
