The exchange obligation applies to foreigners staying in Poland at least 185 days in a calendar year due to personal, professional or educational ties. This mainly applies to citizens of countries outside the EU/EFTA. EU citizens can use their driving license without exchanging it, but after exceeding 185 days of stay, they should also exchange the document.
After submitting complete documents and their verification by a foreign issuing body, a Polish driving license is issued within a period of 9-14 working days. The entire process, including verification, can take from several weeks to several months, depending on the country of origin of the document.
A driving licence issued in the UK before 31 December 2020 is still valid in Poland for the duration of its validity and and does not require mandatory exchange. However, you can exchange it voluntarily.
In the case of an invalid driving license, additional medical and psychological certificates are required. The process can be more complicated, but our experts will help you through all the steps.
For EU/EFTA citizens, no exam is required. For countries outside the EU/EFTA, a theory exam is required if the driving license does not comply with the Geneva or Vienna Convention. Our experts will check whether an exam is necessary in your case.
Driving without a valid driving license after exceeding 185 days of stay may result in a fine of up to PLN 500, a ban on further driving, vehicle detention at the carrier’s expense and classification as the most serious violation for transport companies.
During the exchange procedure, you can use your foreign driving license, provided it is valid. After exceeding 185 days of stay without applying for exchange, driving may be considered illegal.
The official fee is PLN 100.50. Additionally, there may be costs for sworn translations (PLN 40-50/page), medical certificates (approximately PLN 250) and our service, which we price individually after analyzing the case.
