If you are in the US or go there at least once a year, go to AAA (American Automobile Association) $25 and they will take your picture and give you an international license good for a year that is in about 20 languages. I always hand the license opened to the page that is in Korean on one side and Italian on the other. In TWO decades of GAI inspections NO ONE has ever turned the page to find the Russian. Conclusion, don't swear at the GAI in Korean or Italian, they obviously understand one of the two languages.
_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Riley Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 12:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Expat List Driving Licences I had my UK driving license translated & notarized in Yaroslavl, so I don't think you need only consider the notary at Chisty Prudy. I believe under strict letter of the law you should re-do it every year or two but I've had mine for 4yrs now & regularly get stopped & its yet to cause a problem. Elena was saying something that's not quite clear to me "take your internal license to the GAI & get an International one". Does this mean that if I take my UK license they will give me an International license, which will then be acceptable inside Russia??? P.S. Nick Rees, no wonder you're managing & not playing football, get the treadmill out of the box man. No doubt the Flagons would pay the 18,000 to see you last for 90mins. :-) Cheers john
