CZECH DRIVER’S LICENSE ASSISTANCE
Replacing a foreign driver’s license with a Czech one.
EU citizens who hold a driver’s license issued by another EU Member State are not obliged to exchange their driver’s license for a Czech one, regardless of their type of stay in the Czech Republic and its duration. However, if you wish to exchange your license for a Czech one, you must be habitually resident in the Czech Republic.
To do this, you will need to provide documents proving your presence in the Czech Republic for at least the last 180 days. Your original driver’s license is then sent to the state where the license was issued.
To replace your driver’s license, you will need:
- a valid passport (or EU national identity card)
- proof of residence
- your current driver’s license
- documents proving that you have been in the territory for the last 180 days, such as a rental contract, employment contract, trade license, utility bills, internet contract or mobile phone bills, a certificate from the public health insurance or social office stating that you pay monthly deposits, a bank statement proving that you use your card in the Czech Republic, etc.
Your new driver’s license will be issued within 20 days. For a rush-order fee, you can also expedite your request and have your new driver’s license issued within 5 business days.
