Anegada Vehicle Registration Process

The Process Of Registering A Vehicle In Anegada

Anegada is part of the British Virgin Islands and its vehicle import and registration policies are regulated by the government of the British Virgin Islands. As a result, much of the information you find here will also hold true for the other islands that make up the archipelago such as Tortola and Virgin Gorda.

Since Anegada is an island, there can be some difficulties in finding an appropriate shipping company that will deliver to the area. There are plenty of international vehicle shippers around, but not all of them can accommodate a destination that is not part of a continental mainland.

A-1 Auto Transport is one such company that can arrange for delivery to the area and you can find out more information about our international shipping process, rates, and discounts in Anegada by clicking here.

Obtaining A Driver’s License

If you are unable to present a valid license, you’ll have to take the appropriate tests to qualify.
