Drive license in england

fuadski,

If you have a driving licence issued within the European Economic Area (all EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), you can drive within the UK for as long as your licence remains valid.

If you have a driving licence issued in one of the so-called ‘designated' countries (listed below), you need to exchange your licence for a British license to be able to drive in the UK for more than 12 months.

The designated countries are: Australia, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland and Zimbabwe.

If you hold a driving licence issued by any country not listed above, then you will need to pass a British driving test in order to continue driving in the UK beyond the initial 12-month period.

If you're planning to stay for a period of up to a year, then I believe the International License is sufficient.

The web site is https://www.gov.uk/browse/driving/driving-licences. My understanding is that you can drive on a foreign license for a year, but after that you have to take the driving test and get a U.K. license. I'm not sure whether that applies to all foreign licenses, but the site should have the information you need.
Beware of non-governmental sites that pass themselves off as official sites but charge money for their unnecessary services. Look for ".gov.uk" in the address.
