It seems just about anybody can copy our website and pass themselves off as experts these days, and there is not much we can do about it, so here is some advice....
Watch out for 'copycats' imitating our services. If your agent has not got a solution for obtaining a temporary residence permit and a medical certificate, then it should sound too good to be true! Ask lots of questions to validate your agents knowledge.

BEAT THE SYSTEM WITH THEIR OWN RULES. Are you going to be disqualified? Medical renewal coming up? Have you failed your test because of nerves on the day. Have you been convicted of traffic offences where the judge has unfairly taken your licence away. Have you reached the age when you have to retake your test. Do you want to have more categories on your licence, ride a motorcycle for example or become a truck driver?

This service is for any resident or non-resident of the U.K or E.U. to obtain a full driving licence without any tests. So no matter what country you are resident or citizen of, we can help. Even if you live outside of the U.K or E.U! Once you have a driving licence through us, you can exchange it in your OWN country for a local licence. E.U. driving licences are accepted 'as is' worldwide for driving and exchange. It does not matter what nationality you are!

Have you lost your existing licence? No problem! Can't remember the details? No problem! Need a clean licence? No problem! Need motorcycle, car, bus, hgv entitlement? No problem! Over 65? No problem! Medical problems? No problem!

There are 110 different models of driving licence in current use throughout the E.U, that's not to mention driving licences issued outside of the E.U that are still accepted for exchange in different E.U countries.

There's TWO ways to obtain a European Union driving licence. First way is to exchange your current driving licence, you complete our application form and we print it out and translate some of your driving licence and translate the application form, put it all together and apply for an E.U. licence. This is a way to obtain driving categories that you select on the application form as the foreign issuing authority will look at the translation and not the licence.

The second way is to make a declaration that your licence has been lost/mislaid/stolen in a certain country that we know about. No other proof that you have even passed a test is required, just your sworn declaration. They will issue you with a temporary driving licence which we can then get translated and exchanged for an E.U. licence. SNEAKY? Yes, but Illegal? We have been advised NO.

Some countries driving licence departments wont talk to other E.U. countries, so nobody bothers to check if the licence you present for exchange is even REAL or not, it could be a 20 dollar fake driving licence card and no one knows or even cares.

Driving endorsements are totally lost once you exchange your licence with another country, giving you a clean licence.

It is your legal right to hold any member country E.U driving licence, preferably you should be driving on a licence that was issued in a different E.U country to the country you are resident and driving in for a number of reasons. The number one reason is of course so that it becomes a lot more difficult for the authorities to make a permanent record on your driving licence and driving history should you be prosecuted for driving offences. Forget the headache of being disqualified from totting up points on your licence or increasing insurance premiums! The second reason is that it is more economical to hold a licence from another country. Replacement charges for lost documents are a fraction of the UK DVLA price to issue a new replacement licence.

Welcome to our new and exciting website where you can LEGALLY obtain Genuine European drivers licences from a European country of your choice. THESE ARE NOT FAKES - we help you obtain the licence from the relevant government department in any one of the countries we operate in.

Thanks to the new European integration we are now able to offer you genuine European drivers licences* (see disclaimer) Citizens of countries listed on the FAQ page are able to participate.

The process is very simple with our help! You simply choose the entitlements that you wish to have and then complete the online application form. You then scan in a passport type photo and email it to us at the address provided. (Or post passport photo to us at the address provided). We will then apply on your behalf and forward the licence to your contact address or you may elect to collect the licence directly from the issuing office abroad - we can arrange return flights to Eastern Europe from as little as £30 with EasyJet or Wizz Air airlines. see FAQ for further details.

What gets lost in translation?

Penalty Points - the foreign issuing authority usually have great difficulty matching up the UK penalty point system with their own system which results in 9 out of 10 licences coming back clean and point free

What would YOU do right now if your license was revoked?
How would you SURVIVE?

It's more than just inconvenient. The impact is enormous. You'd lose your job, or revert to the dreads of public transport. You'd lose your social life. You'd lose income and social standing. You'd lose almost everything. And it could all happen just by being caught going at 90 MPH on an empty motorway! So take your licence out of the UK jurisdiction and get an E.U. licence that's valid all over the world!

Quite often, the name comes back in opposite form i.e. your surname and forenames will be backwards on the licence, we will explain to them that in the UK the surname comes last if you request it.

We are happy to answer any questions by email. The licence process time is currently approximately 21 days.

Visitors to the Great Britain
If someone holds a valid Community licence and they are visiting Great Britain, they can drive any vehicle which they are entitled to drive for as long as their licence remains valid. The appropriate full entitlement for the vehicle they want to drive must be shown on their licence.

People who become residents
If someone has a valid Community licence, this will authorise them to drive in this country for the periods set out below. Alternatively, they can apply to exchange their licence for a British one at any time.

Provided their licence remains valid they may drive in Great Britain:

ordinary licence holders - until aged 70 or for three years after becoming resident whichever is the longer period.
vocational licence holders - until aged 45 or for five years after becoming resident whichever is the longer period.
if they are aged over 45 (but under 65) until their 66th birthday or for five years after becoming resident, whichever is the shorter period
if they are aged 65 or over, for 12 months after becoming resident.

In order to continue driving after these periods, a British driving licence must be obtained.

Northern Ireland
Holders of a full Northern Ireland driving licence can exchange it for a full Great Britain licence, or they can use their licence here until it runs out. When it expires they may apply for a Great Britain licence. A Northern Ireland ordinary licence may be exchanged provided it was issued on or after 1st January 1976. A vocational licence may be exchanged if issued on or after 1st April 1986. A person may take a driving test in Great Britain using their Northern Ireland provisional or full licence if this gives the appropriate entitlement.

Gibraltar and Designated Countries
The designated countries are:

Australia, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Malta, New Zealand, Republic of Cyprus, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, Zimbabwe.

Visitors
If someone is resident outside the UK, and is temporarily in this country and holds a full ordinary entitlement, they can drive any category of vehicle up to 7.5 tonnes and with up to 16 passenger seats shown on their licence for up to 12 months from the date they last entered Great Britain. This applies whether or not they brought the vehicle into Great Britain. If they also hold full entitlement to drive large lorries or buses they are only allowed to drive large vehicles registered outside Great Britain that they have driven into the country.

Residents

Provided a person’s full licence remains valid, they can drive small vehicles for 12 months from the time they became resident. To ensure continuous driving entitlement a Great Britain licence must be obtained before this period elapses, by exchanging their licence for a Great Britain licence. If they do not do this they must stop driving, although they may apply to exchange their licence at any time within five years of becoming resident.

Vocational designated licence holders
New residents may not drive medium or large vehicles or passenger carrying vehicles until they have passed the relevant Great Britain driving test.

Gibraltar vocational licence holders can drive for 12 months and can exchange a valid vocational licence within five years of date of residency.

Jersey, Guernsey or Isle of Man
Visitors
Ordinary licence holders: provided the full ordinary licence remains valid, a visitor can drive any category of vehicle shown on their licence for 12 months.

Vocational licence holders: if they are visiting Great Britain and they hold a vocational licence issued in Jersey or the Isle of Man, visitors can drive British registered or vehicles registered outside Great Britain that they have driven into the country for a period up to 12 months. If their vocational licence was issued in Guernsey they can drive temporarily imported vehicles only.

Residents
Ordinary licence holders may drive in Great Britain for up to 12 months from the time they became resident. To continue driving after that time their licence must have been exchanged for the British equivalent. A licence from one of these countries can be exchanged for a Great Britain licence provided it has been valid within the last 10 years.

Vocational licence holders: if someone becomes resident in GB and they hold a vocational licence issued in Jersey or the Isle of Man, they may drive for 12 months and may exchange their vocational entitlement for the British equivalent.

Vocational driving licences from Guernsey are not exchangeable.

All other countries
Visitors
May drive vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes and with up to 16 passenger seats, provided their full licence or driving permit remains valid for up to 12 months from the date of entering Great Britain. However, they may only drive large vehicles which have been registered outside GB and which they have driven into this country.

Residents
Ordinary licence holders: provided their full licence remains valid, they can drive any category of small vehicle shown on their licence for up to 12 months from the time they became resident. To ensure continuous driving entitlement, a provisional Great Britain licence must have been obtained and a driving test(s) passed before the 12 month period elapses. If they obtain a provisional licence during this period, they are not subject to provisional licence conditions, e.g. displaying ‘L’ plates or being supervised by a qualified driver or being precluded from motorways.

However, if they do not pass a test within the 12-month concessionary period they will not be allowed to drive as a full licence holder and provisional licence conditions will apply.

If they do not apply for a provisional licence within the first 12 months they must stop driving and obtain a British provisional licence with a view to passing a driving test. Provisional licence conditions will then apply.

Vocational licence holders: new residents may not drive large vehicles until they have passed the relevant Great Britain driving test. Driving test candidates are required to pass a motor car (category B) test first before applying for provisional entitlement for larger vehicles.
