	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2019 answer text <p>While the UK is a member of the EU, UK driving licences are directly exchangeable for licences issued by EU and EEA member states when the holder becomes resident. In the event of an EU exit under no deal, these arrangements will end.</p><p> </p><p>In this scenario, how UK licence holders who are resident in an EU country are treated after exit day will depend on the domestic laws of the country they live in. Where exchange is no longer available, UK licence holders may need to re-take their driving test to obtain a licence. For certainty, UK licence holders who are resident in the EU should therefore exercise their current right to licence exchange before exit day.</p><p> </p><p>The UK is seeking to secure rights in relation to both recognition and exchange of UK driving licences with all EU and EEA member states.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 24/01/2019 16:57:56 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
