Thanks very much!!

You’re living in France, married to a Czech and have a Sri Lankan drivers license. Sounds complicated, but it’s not.

Here’s the bottom line: if you have a drivers license from an EU country, great- you’re all set.
If not, you will need some paperwork and/or testing before you are driving 100% legally in Czech Republic. I can’t think of any exceptions right now, but if someone posts one, I’ll research it.

So, since you’re living in France, can I assume you already have a (France-designated) EU drivers license?
Yes? – great. No? – time to visit a drivers school.

Hope that’s clear,

So, if I understand correctly, your question is “Will I be able to exchange my current Spanish drivers license for a Czech license?” Right?

Since you have a current EU license, you are fine with driving in Czech Republic. You obviously know your license is an EU license, designed from Spain. It is not exclusive to (only for) driving in Spain.

Feel free to call a local school to be sure, but I’m confident you only need to renew it and pay for a new license. Either in Czech Republic or in Spain, you’ll have to renew it, but you won’t need to be tested more in one EU country than another.

Hope that helps,

I am Spanish guy living in Prague since a few years… Up to know I have been driving with my Spanish driving license and no issues, even when stopped by the police they have accepted my Spanish form as it is similar to Czech one…

Just a question with regards to exams and stuff… My Spanish driving license is about to expire, May 2012, so I don’t know if renew it in Spain or in Czech Republic. Definitely if I need to do some exam in CZ I would go to Spain, since there you don’t as you already passed all your tests…

Thanks!!

There will be a centralized database and once your licence is revoked or you have a drive-ban, then it will pop up and you wont be able to do that. Even now its considered as a faux-pas and dealt with accordingly.

In case you have your licence and live long term, then dont be damn lazy… the rules arent that hard (used to be much much harder when i had my exams in 2003).

Im Czech living in Thailand and the same thing applies. I cant drive with my licence if residing here… its easily exchanged but need a paper from the embassy stating that my licence is real, medical certificate and its a couple of hours process… still need to make simple tests except written exam.

I agree that the ads clutter the site a bit. I removed one ad. So now it’s just one at the top and one at the bottom. I still need it to keep the site for free.

I just added new pages at the home page for more information including privacy policy and disclaimer – terms and conditions.

Thanks again!!

At first glance, …
1. I’d cut back on the ads.
2. Give a disclaimer that it’s non-official (disclaimer) and privacy will be kept.
3. The ‘czech.’ subdomain tells me you’ve got other EU tests in mind – smart planning from onset.

I’ll review the questions and e-mail you directly.

Good luck,
