Mauritian Driving License?

Hi

You will need to head down to the central police station in Port Louis. You will need original & copies your drivers licence, passport, residence permit, drivers licence pictures ( can't remember how many 2 or 4) and a letter written & signed by you requesting for the department to convert your drivers licence. (i think they may also require proof of address a phone bill or rates. i cant remember). They let you keep your licence so you will have both.

There is a special office for that so when you get to the police station explain you want to convert your licence.

I did mine about 3 or so years back. It took about a week from the day I handed everything in.

Hope this helps

Good luck

Thank you so much for the great information 411! Will try to get that done once my wife gets her residence permit.

Bummer that it has to be done in Port Louis. I wish local stations could handle these.

Thanks,

Just checking
I thought i saw somewhere you need a letter from your country of origin as well as your current driving licence and passport, permit etc stating it is your driving licence or something to that effect now i cant find that document. Can anyone confirm exactly what you need to get a local licence issued
