Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan to recognise EU driving licences in the UK after Brexit; and whether they plan to seek recognition of UK driving licences by the EU.

EU licences will continue to be recognised in the UK during the transition period, and vice versa. This means that motorists visiting the UK or the EU will not require an International Driving Permit, and vice versa.

Arrangements after the transition period will depend on the outcome of negotiations with the EU. The UK Government will work with its European partners to minimise any extra burden on motorists after the transition period, as this is advantageous for both the UK and the EU. 24 of the 27 EU Member States have already stated that they will continue to recognise UK photocard licences in all circumstances.
