Great Britain
You can exchange a full Great Britain driving licence for a full NI licence or you can use your licence here until it runs out. When it expires you may apply for a NI licence.
A Great Britain ordinary licence may be exchanged provided it was issued on or after 1st January 1976; a vocational licence may be exchanged if issued on or after 1st April 1986.
You may take a driving test in Northern Ireland using your Great Britain provisional or full licence if this gives the appropriate entitlement. We cannot register an address in England, Scotland or Wales on to a Northern Ireland licence or an address in Northern Ireland onto a GB licence issued by the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
