Ukraine driving licence exchange

The consultation received over 3000 responses. The overwhelming majority were positive, with 99% of respondents agreeing there should be an extension and 89% agreeing with the proposed 36 month (3-year) extension.

As a result, and after careful consideration of the need to ensure our roads remain as safe as possible, the Department for Transport will now move to enact legislative changes to extend the length of time Ukrainian refugees can drive in Great Britain on their Ukrainian driving licence, from 1 year to 3. This is in line with the Ukrainian visa schemes and will help thousands of Ukrainians to continue going about their daily lives.
