Exchange a non-GB driving licence

You cannot exchange your licence but you can drive for up to 12 months on your non-GB licence.

After 12 months you’ll need to take a theory test and a practical test. You’ll need to get a provisional driving licence before you can take the tests.

You’ll get a full Great Britain issued driving licence when you pass the theory and practical tests.
