Driving Licences

4.0 Driving Licences

Driving in the EU has been largely unaffected and thankfully won’t require too much extra paperwork or an International Driving Permit.

You will need to hold a valid UK driving licence and a physical green card (you can get these from your insurer, you may be charged a small fee to cover administration costs) if you plan to drive in the EU including Ireland, Andorra, Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway, Serbia or Switzerland. You will also need to display a GB sticker regardless of any registration plate identifiers. If you’re towing a caravan, you should check if you need to register your trailer before entering some EU countries. You can find out more at gov.uk/guidance/trailer-registration.

Check gov.uk/driving-abroad for a step-by-step guide, and any requirements specific to the country you’re driving in.
