Getting a driving license
While PNG law allows foreigners to drive on their overseas driver’s licence for the first three months following arrival, it is best to get a PNG Driver’s license as soon as practicable. Driver’s Licences can be obtained from the Motor Vehicle Insurance Ltd (MVIL) Head office in Port Moresby (Kunai Street, Hohola). More information can be found on the MVIL website(external link).
