I just called a lawyer and asked him to check if we could get a driver license for a Swiss National without a cedula (no residency permits whatsoever). He just called me back and told me that he had called "the office" in Santiago as well as the one in Santo Domingo and the one needed to have a cedula in order to get a driver license.
I am not inclined to take that as a definite no, because I don't trust the power of asking and especially not by phone.
I told him that the law said otherwise. He thought that it may but that these secretarias had poder reglementaria... which effectively would allow to do as they see fit? I don't buy that yet either.
Anyway. I am herewith offering USD 200.oo + taxes, fees and costs to whom ever will help me to effectively get a LEGAL DR driver license for my non-resident Swiss business partner. We provide the original legal Swiss driver license, authenticated by the Swiss consulate and certified by canceleria in Santo Domingo.
... J-D.
