They don't know what acceptable means (everything is acceptable here) so they ask for all the documents on the list. Only show them the list of the IDs that you have.

Update. She passed her driving test exam first time .... apparently a lot failed and have to re-sit the exam in a month. She tells me that she can now legally drive a car and motorbike even though she has never driven a car yet. Is it really true that you can pass a theory exam and then drive? It's more fun in the phils!

 

She went to dfa and has now been told that she has all the correct papers and her passport will be delivered in 3 weeks.

 

Fingers crossed.

She will be more qualified than most. Many drivers in the provinces do not have a licence or are old enough to get one.Just curious, is the exam in English?

I don't know but I imagine that as it's a Philippines licence for driving in the Phils that it would be in Tagalog.

Both Tagalog and English are official languages in RP, so it would be odd if the test aren't available in both languages. But of course not sure it is, there are more things which aren't logic  :)

Logic does not apply in the Philippines so if you are too stupid to learn English in school then you are too stupid to read all of the street and road signs which are also in English. In case you have not lived here, all official documents are in English and court is held in English.

So IF being logic, drivers test would be available in English too  :)

The written driver's license test is available in Filipino and English.

Now that explains the reason why they drive like they do.

 

Hospital paperwork (receiving/billing/reporting) is in English. The questionnaire for the blood sellers was in English and not one of the 24 could read it.
