Find out whether you can directly exchange your foreign driving licence in Cyprus or need to take tests. Get a personalised checklist and cost estimate.
Step 1: Where was your licence issued?
If your country isn’t listed, choose “Other country” at the bottom. For licences from outside the EU, EEA and UK, whether you can exchange without tests depends on the issuing country: check with the Road Transport Department before you apply.
