BREXIT – Driving licences and international driving permits

From 1 January 2021, you will need to carry your UK driving licence with you. You must have the right category of licence for the vehicle you’re driving.

You do not need an international driving permit (IDP) to drive in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Switzerland.

You might need an IDP to drive in some EU countries and Norway if you have:

• a paper driving licence;
• a licence issued in Gibraltar, Guernsey, Jersey or the Isle of Man.

Check with the embassy of the country you will be driving in.

Please contact the Regulatory team on regulatory@backhouses.co.uk if you would like further information.
