It is important to note that individuals who are currently enlisted in a Learner Driver’s or Graduated Driver’s Licence Program in his/her home country will not be entitled to a Cayman Islands driver’s licence and will therefore be required to apply for a learner's licence by scheduling an appointment to sit the drivers exam; both written and practical.
The Traffic Act further defines a “new resident as a person who has been granted permission to stay in the Islands for a period exceeding six months and is still in the person’s initial six month period of residence.
Returning residents – If you have held a full Cayman Driver’s licence that has expired within ten (10) years and since the beginning period of five(5) years after its expiry held a driver’s licence from a Geneva Convention Contracting country, you are allowed to renew your Cayman driver’s licence.
