Driving licence exchange
A foreign driving licence can be exchanged for a Polish one if it was issued by a country that is party to the relevant convention. In some cases a theory exam is required; in others the exchange happens without one.
Who this is for
- People with a driving licence issued outside the European Union
- People whose period of recognition for a foreign document is ending
- Professional drivers who need a Polish document
Documents you'll need
An indicative list — the exact documents depend on the basis of the application.
- An application for the licence exchange
- The original foreign driving licence together with a sworn translation
- A photograph meeting the requirements
- A document confirming residence in Poland
What we do
- We check whether the document is eligible for exchange and whether an exam is required
- We arrange the sworn translation
- We file the application at the communications department
