Exchanging a Driving Licence for a Polish Licence for Non-EU Citizens

Citizens of countries outside the European Union residing in Poland are required, under certain conditions, to exchange their foreign driving licence for a Polish one. This obligation applies especially to individuals staying in Poland on a long-term basis.
The exchange process includes preparing the required documents, correctly completing application forms, communicating with the relevant authorities, and monitoring the progress of the case. Incomplete or incorrect documentation may significantly delay the procedure or result in rejection. Professional assistance helps ensure a smooth and efficient process.

Do you need to take an exam?

Good news: you do not need to take any exam, neither theoretical nor practical. Turkey is a party to the Vienna Convention, so a simple administrative exchange of the driving license is sufficient.

Important notes:

  • The driving license must be valid – an expired license cannot be exchanged
  • After 6 months of residence in Poland without exchanging, you cannot legally drive.
  • A Polish driving license issued in exchange for a Turkish one is recognized in all EU countries.
