Where to go for an overseas conversion

Overseas conversion applications are in high demand.

If you want to convert your overseas driver licence, you'll need to go to a specialist overseas driver licence conversion site. 

To save time, please check if the site you're visiting requires you to book ahead and make sure you have all the necessary documents before you visit.

Note: If your licence is from a non-exempt country, you must pass a theory test and a practical driving test.
