I’ve just renewed my driving license, car and motorcycle 

Took 30 minutes at land transportation 

It’s so quiet, but things will change in August so if your license needs renewal now is the time 😊

I did my renewal for both licenses in CM last week in about 30 minutes. No test, no queue, no wait. Renewal 2 years ago took me 5 hours.
