Ukrainian driving licences: extending the eligibility period in Great Britain by 24 months
Applies to England, Scotland and Wales
Consultation description
The government is proposing to add 24 months to the period during which holders of a Ukrainian driving licence may legally drive ‘relevant vehicles’ in Great Britain, including:
- cars
- motorcycles
- mopeds
This would extend existing driving eligibility from 36 months to 60 months for some Ukrainian licence holders and from 54 months to 78 months for others. The extension is measured from the date the individual becomes resident.
We previously extended the 12-month driving eligibility for Ukrainian licence holders on certain visa schemes to 36 or 54 months, which was dependent on factors such as the date of the visa application. Our proposal would add time to the previous extension for those who meet the criteria.
