Compliant with Italian and European registries and regulations
Two paths, one team
Whether your driving licence comes from an EU/EEA country or elsewhere, we adapt the process to your situation.
EU / EEA licence
Your driving licence was issued in an EU/EEA country: exchanging it for an Italian licence follows a simplified procedure.
- Validity check of your current driving licence
- File preparation per Italian rules
- Follow-up until you receive your Italian licence
Non-EU licence
Your driving licence was issued outside the European Union: it needs to be recognised or converted into an Italian licence.
- Review of reciprocity agreements that apply to your country of origin
- Sworn translation when required
- Support with additional steps (exam, consular file)
EU/EEA or non-EU: the differences at a glance
A general overview of both paths. Every file is still reviewed individually by our team.
| Criteria | EU/EEA exchange | Non-EU conversion |
|---|---|---|
| Eligibility | Valid driving licence issued in an EU/EEA country | Valid, non-expired driving licence issued outside the EU |
| Required documents | Current driving licence (front/back) | Current driving licence (front/back), sworn translation if required |
| Estimated timeline | 2 to 4 weeks after EUCARIS verification | 4 to 8 weeks depending on bilateral agreements |
| Driving licence age | No minimum duration generally required | Some countries require a minimum validity period |
| Driving exam required |
Provided for guidance only: timelines and requirements vary by your driving licence's country of origin and are confirmed by our team after reviewing your file.
