answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/02/2020 answer text <p>EU licences will continue to be recognised in the UK during the transition period, and vice versa. This means that motorists visiting the UK or the EU will not require an International Driving Permit, and vice versa.</p><p> </p><p>Arrangements after the transition period will depend on the outcome of negotiations with the EU. The UK Government will work with its European partners to minimise any extra burden on motorists after the transition period, as this is advantageous for both the UK and the EU. 24 of the 27 EU Member States have already stated that they will continue to recognise UK photocard licences in all circumstances.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 04/02/2020 14:08:03 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
