I am a new resident in Manitoba, how do I obtain a drivers licence?
If you hold a valid driver’s licence from anywhere in Canada or the U.S., you can surrender your valid driver’s licence and obtain a Manitoba licence. You must appear in person at a Driver and Vehicle Licensing Service Outlet (this service is NOT AVAILABLE at 1075 Portage in Winnipeg), produce identification, and pay all charges. If you are surrendering a class 1-4 licence, you need to complete a medical report. If you hold a driver’s licence from any other country, or if you do not hold a valid driver’s licence, you may need to take and pass Manitoba’s knowledge, road, and vision tests. You will need to appear in person, with personal identification, at a Driver and Vehicle Licensing Service Outlet.
