Departamento de Tránsito, Policía Nacional Civil (Guatemala)
Applies the ruleThe traffic department that issues driving permits and applies the traffic regulation it does not make.
The body that applies the rule and decides applications. It publishes what it requires, which is authoritative about its own practice but is not the text of the law.
transito.gob.gtCannot be cited for
It must not be cited for the text of the traffic regulation: the page cites an article of it that we have never read. Nor for what a visitor may do - the page is addressed only to people holding or applying for a residence and is silent on tourists. Nor for the content of the bilateral licence agreement it names but does not reproduce.

Publication rhythm
A web page with no versioning and no dates on its content, which is the worst case: it can change silently.
