| If you hold a licence from a European Economic Area (EEA) member state or a licence issued in Australia, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Cyprus, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Japan, Kenya, Malta, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland or Zimbabwe, you can obtain a British driving licence in your first year in the UK, without taking a driving test. If you don’t apply during your first year, you aren’t permitted to drive after this period until you’ve passed a driving test. If you hold a licence issued by a country that isn’t listed above, you must take a driving test during your first year in the UK. If you don’t pass the driving test during your first year, you must apply for a provisional licence and drive under restricted conditions (e.g. with a qualified driver) until you’ve passed your test. |
