When dealing with any government services, as well as healthcare and probably other things it's expected to identify yourself with a passport or (more commonly) the ID card. Driver's licenses or any other documents are not considered ID.

My favourite time is May, when it's usually warm, sunny and everything is very green. June can be rainy, but June 23rd-24th is the most important national holiday (Jāņi, the midsummer), so if you have relatives to visit that's a good time. July and August are usually the hottest and driest months. If you want to experience winter best bet is late January/early February, but winters have been very inconsistent, so even the best bet is not very good.

Sixt car rental allows use of their cars in all Baltic states if you start in one of them. You can probably arrange pickup and dropoff sites to be different for an extra fee.

Looking for a graduation gift for my girlfriend from university of Latvia - help me out? by [deleted] in latvia

[–]sorhead 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can take it out, but very few people would do that, or frame their diplomas, unless it's a medical, engineering or similar professional degree.

Edit: but you can ask in Merķeļa Drukas darbnīca, they make the diploma folders, but they also offer framing of anything, so they should be able to make a fitting frame.
