How to obtain a validation or a conversion?
The decision to validate or convert a foreign licence is left to the discretion of each Licensing Authority. ICAO is unfortunately not in a position to provide information on the details of the validation and conversion policy and procedures established by each of its Contracting States. The most reliable source of information is the Licensing Authority of the State in which the licence is to be validated or converted, and at times Consulates and Embassies may be helpful. For more information on validation of a foreign licence, please refer to Annex 1, Chapter 1, paragraph 1.2.2.
