``As of 1/05/2004 you are not required to exchange your licence for a GB licence, providing you have passed a test in an EC/EEA country.

You are entitled to drive here on the strength of your valid EC/EEA driving licence providing it remains valid up until the day preceding your 70th birthday or 3 years after becoming resident here, whichever is the longer period.

However, if you wish to exchange your licence, please ask at your main Post Office for a D1 photocard application pack.

Send the completed form to DVLA, Swansea SA99 1BT with your valid licence and the relevant enclosures. A fee of £38.00 is required with your application.

You should also enclose a covering letter with your application confirming that you are aware it is not necessary however you would like to exchange your driving licence for a GB driving licence.

The EC/EEA licence will be returned to the Licensing Authorities from where it was issued.

Important Note: If your EC/EEA licence was issued in exchange for one from another country, this may be valid for driving in GB for only 12 months and you may not be able to exchange it for the GB equivalent.

Holders of community licences with vocational (lorry/bus) entitlements who live in GB must, by law register their details within DVLA.

Drivers of small vehicles may register also, if they wish. Drivers who register will receive their licence back together with a UK counterpart licence. This would enable them to take advantage of the fixed penalty system for road traffic offences instead of having to go to court.

Please see D100 information leaflet available from any main Post Office for further information.
