If you’re new to the UK, getting a UK driving licence is a good idea as many employers request a drivers’ licence to employ candidates and it is also a generally accepted form of ID. If you have a valid European Community licence, or a licence from Northern Ireland, Gibraltar, Australia, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Falkland Islands, Hong Kong, Japan, Malta, Monaco, New Zealand, Republic of Cyprus, Republic of Korea, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, Zimbabwe, Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man, you can drive for up to 12 months in the UK – provided your full licence remains valid. If you want to drive in the UK after those first 12 months you’ll need to exchange your licence for a UK licence before the 12 months is up. We can help you exchange your licence for a full UK one, or help you obtain a provisional UK driving licence if you don’t have a full licence in your home country. We charge £75 for this service.
