Driving Privilege

Driving a motor vehicle on public streets and highways is a privilege granted by the Territory, not a right.
To obtain a permit or driver's license, one must demonstrate necessary skills through a Territory-administered examination.

Exceptions to Who Needs a License

A person employed by or in the service of the United States, operating a vehicle owned or controlled by the United States, does not need an operator's or chauffeur's license.

Eligibility – Age and Other Requirements

A person must be at least 15 1⁄2 years old, pass the examination, and meet mental and physical ability requirements to be eligible for a Guam driver's license.
Minors (under 18) must have a parent or legal guardian appear in person during the initial application process to sign the application form.

Learner's Permits

A learner's permit allows a person to drive on public streets and highways when accompanied by a fully licensed driver.
Holders of learner's permits do not have the right to drive alone.

U.S. Driver's License Holders

U.S. driver's licenses are valid for 30 days upon arrival on Guam.
To obtain a Guam driver's license, primary requirements include filling out the Guam driver's license application, providing a U.S. driver's license, social security card, and one of the following valid identification documents.

Foreign Driver's License Holders

Holders of valid operator's licenses or chauffeur's licenses from certain countries (e.g. Palau, Micronesia, Japan, etc.) may drive on Guam for up to 30 days.
After 30 days, they must apply for a Guam driver's license, pass a written test, and obtain a license.
