Exchanging a driving licence
Since 20 August 2025 a standard driving licence costs 17.15 EUR and an international one 5.65 EUR. You can order it online via e.regitra and receive it by your chosen delivery method. When the licence expires, no re-exams are needed — just exchange it promptly, as driving with an expired licence is prohibited.
Who this applies to
Step by step
Check your medical certificate
A valid driver's health-check certificate is required — arrange it in advance so the order isn't held up.
Order the licence online
Via e.regitra choose the reason for exchange and pay: standard 17.15 EUR. Express issue (in 1 or 3 working days) costs more. Delivery by courier or to a parcel terminal is available for an extra fee.
Collect it or get delivery
Collect it at a branch or receive it via your chosen delivery. The international licence (5.65 EUR) is valid only alongside a valid national one.
