To apply to exchange a foreign driving licence issued by a recognised state

As a visitor to Ireland you can drive on a driving licence from any state outside the EU/EEA for up to one year provided the driving licence is current and valid. However, on taking up ‘normal residence’ in Ireland you must either exchange your driving licence or apply for a driving licence in Ireland.

You are considered to be normally resident in Ireland if, because of personal and occupational ties, you usually live here for at least 185 days in each calendar year. Ireland has agreements with certain countries/states that designates them as recognised states for the purposes of driving licence exchange. You can view a list of recognised states here. Recognised States.

If you exchanged an Irish driving licence in a recognised state for a driving licence issued by that state, you must submit that licence to the NDLS when applying for an Irish driving licence.

A Recognised State driving licence may be exchanged up to a maximum of one year after it expires with an accompanying letter of entitlement. After this period, applicants will need to apply for a learner permit.

Certified translations are required for all Letters of Entitlement or Driver Statements which are not in English or Irish. Translations must be provided by a professional member of the Irish Translators’ and Interpreters’ Association (ITIA). The letter of entitlement must be submitted together with the certified translation.

Please note: In some cases, we will need to contact the country that issued your licence and this may cause a delay in issuing you an Irish licence.
