Converting your international licence to a UK licence
International driver’s licence holders are generally able to drive on UK roads for a period of time. Your visa or residency status determines how long you can use your international licence and whether you need to convert. For your specific situation, see the UK Government licensing authority.
Check your eligibility
Your visa or residency status determines how long you can use your international licence and whether you need to convert. Check the UK Government licensing authority for your specific situation.
Pass an eyesight test
All drivers must meet UK eyesight standards. Even with previous overseas experience, you'll need to demonstrate you meet the standards.
Pass the theory test
Most drivers converting from outside the EU/EEA need to pass the UK theory test. Practice questions are available on our learner test pages.
Pass the practical driving test
The practical test covers an eyesight check, vehicle safety questions, general driving, manoeuvres, and an independent driving section.
Pay relevant licence fees
Pay the relevant fees each time you sit a test or submit an application.
How do I get started?
The process for converting your licence is easy and only takes a few steps. Get your documents and ID together, then book lessons that prepare you for the conversion test.

Benhaz is very patient and helpful. She gave me very detailed advice on how to improve my steering and other driving skills. I am very glad that she can be my instructor.
