Driving in Great Britain on a non-GB licence

You can drive any type of vehicle listed on your full and valid licence

If your vehicle is insured in the EU, Andorra, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Serbia or Switzerland, you should carry either:

• an insurance ‘green card’
• other proof of insurance

To be valid, your other proof of insurance must be a document issued by the insurer of the vehicle and include the:

• name of the insurer
• number plate or other information to identify the vehicle, for example the vehicle identification number
• period of insurance cover

If your vehicle is insured in a country outside the EU, Andorra, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Serbia or Switzerland, you must either:

• carry a green card - if your country is a member of the green card system
• insure your vehicle in the UK - if your country is not a member of the green card system

Green cards from Belarus or Russia are not accepted in Great Britain.
