Yes.

How and where do I obtain one?

You, and your dependants who are 18 years of age or older, should apply in person at your local civil registry office for the following two documents:

  • a Certificado de Antecedentes para Fines Especiales, and
  • an original Hoja de vida del Conductor, even if you or your dependants have never been issued a driver’s licence.

  • dates of service
  • rank
  • unit
  • responsibilities
  • location of service
