• Driving licenses from these countries are valid without the need for exchange.

 

Citizens from Outside the EU 🌐

• They can use their original driving license for one year from the date of arrival.
• After one year or upon obtaining permanent residency, they must exchange their license for a Czech one.

 

Procedure of Exchanging Driving License 📜

• Proof of Habitual Residence: Foreigners must provide proof of habitual residence in the Czech Republic.
• Doctor’s Certificate: A valid medical certificate is required.
• Documentation: Other required documents include the original driving license and an ID card.

 

Driving School 🏫

• They must arrange and pay for the interpreter themselves. During the driving lessons and the tests, they are alone with the interpreter, so it is crucial to find a translator for their target language.
