Detran wanting proof what my category of DL.

nv91 · 2020-02-19T03:27:17+01:00

So first of... I'm so pissed off.. They already reviewed all my documents/did psych test and they gave me a protocolo to pick up my Driver's license. The first time I went to pick it up... It wasn't "ready". 2nd time (total of 60 days)... Now they want a "Proof" of my Canadian license (Category 5-- unrestricted personal use vehicles) and to prove what vehicles and restrictions on my category. It doesn't actually say on my license.. it only says (Class: 5). https://www.icbc.com/driver-licensing/types-licences/Pages/Licence-classes-and-types.aspx Wtf.... After all that waiting.. err... So stupid. Anyway. They are asking me to bring a certificate from the consulate that indicates what type of vehicle and explanation of the category from Canada or a declaration from the transit agency (ICBC in BC) recognized by the consulate or apostilled that reference the category. "Trazer certidaó do consulado reference a categoria ou uma declaracão do orgão de transito e reconhecer pelo consulado ou apostilla de haia (reference a categoria)" What exactly are they asking??

How recently did you get your license? Did you have to cancel your process in Armenia or did you just ignore it all together and started from scratch in Aricanduva branch?

I may try doing it in Aricanduva.

I just got it in early February. No, I didn't have to cancel the process in Armenia - just did nothing (since what they were asking me to bring back to them wasn't at all possible). Then just signed up for the initialization in Aricanduva via the Dtran web site a day or two later.

I will try that if I hit dead-end. I am scheduled to go to the Canadian consulate on July 1st (Canada day lol!!) --wrote an affidavit style letter for them to sign or stamp. I will see if this works. If not I'll move on to attempting to get it at Aricanduva.
