getting a driver's license

Do u have any driver Lic ?if not ,u have to go to the DMV ,Take the Driving book then u have to take writing  test on the Book.about 8 JD
2-if u pass then u have to take Driving test about 100 JD ,
u pay every time u retake the test if u don't pass the 1st,,
":No one Pass 1st time "..

what id you already have a drivers licence?

if lol sorry

Does anyone know if the test is offered in English? If no, can I bring a translator? Also, what if I have a U.S. driver's license, does that change the procedure?

Why don't people usually pass the first time? A) They're bad driver's B)The company wants more money or is corrupt? C)The test is hard (hrader than U.S.)? D) Other

Any tips to passing the first time? Would I be more likely to pass by dressing western or middle eastern?

Thanks~~

Guys, I'm staying here now in Jordan for more than a year, I have a Emarati driving license and wanting to get a Jordanian DL. Do I need to secure one? What would be the process? Im using rent a car since it is provided by the company and use my UAE DL. Is't allowed to use company car or private car using a non-Jordanian DL? Appreciate dearly if someone could give me advise.

Save yourself the hasten if you have a European or American License .Just go to marka at the Department of veichel registration ,exchange your license with a jordanian ( u get to keep your American one ) take 2 photos, pay 30 jod and you are out.I did it.

Hello 123wshanti,

It's very far from 30 JOD. I actually switched mine with 215 JOD at marka. I did not go through any driving test as the money is what they're after.
If you got the money I'd advice u do it.
Jordan is damn broke and you definitely will fail like 10 times if u decide to go for a test, at 10 JOD per test.

What is the address for the Marka drivers license bureau?  Since I am closer to Fuheis, can I do it over there?  Marka is a far drive for me.
