UK Driving License
Change your foreign driving license to a British one!
If you are the holder of a foreign driving license and want or need to change to a Great Britain (GB) driving license we can help you with the application process.
You don’t have to pass a new driving test in UK in order to get the Great Britain driving license. All we need is to receive:
- original identity documentation confirming your identity;
- passport sized color photograph;
- * your current driving license.
* Original driving license is not returned to the owner but sent to a licensing authority in his/her home country.
Your identity confirmation
- You need to enclose original documentation as confirmation of your identity:
- full valid current passport or
- identity card issued by a member state of the European Community/European Economic Area (EC/EEC) or
- travel documents issued by the Home Office or
- UK certificate of naturalisation
The type of photograph you need to send
If you want to change your driving licence for a GB driving licence, you need to enclose passport style colour photograph.
- Your photograph must be:
- colour passport style and size (size of image 45mm x 35mm)
- taken recently and be a true likeness, showing the full face, with no hat, helmet or sunglasses, although you may wear everyday glasses
- taken against a plain, and evenly lit background
Please note that for EU citizens time restrictions are not set. You can use your original driving license issued in your home country for driving in the UK as long as it is valid. If you are a non EU citizen a 12 months period is allowed; after that you must obtain a Great Britain (GB) driving license.
