As we know, the task of distributing driver’s licenses is one of the newest tasks that the Civil Registry and Censo have taken on. The Director of the department, Sharin Luydens, informed us that this new responsibility has been going tremendously well.
Not only in helping to eliminate the delay that was built up by the Aruban Police Corps during the height of the pandemic, but also afterward in the period ranging from November 2020 until now. As of now, they have already handed out 40 thousand of these documents. An 800 thousand florins investment was necessary for this change, but so far it has clearly been worth it. In the 2021 reports, The Civil Registry and Censo reported that the driver’s license generated nearly 1008.950 florins of earnings, which is equivalent to 30.48% of the total income.
