Driving ban in EU but need to exchange my EU driving licence for UK full license cat B
I have a driving ban in the Czech Republic. Now I live in the UK and need to exchange my driving licence for a UK licence. Will I get a full UK driving licence or not, because of my driving ban in the Czech Republic?
Best Answer
To exchange your Czech (or any foreign license) for a British drivers license, you must fill out DVLA form D1.
That form includes the question “Are you currently disqualified in any other country?”
Lying on this form is a criminal offence.
You are also required to provide your existing license, which will be returned to the Czech issuing authority during the exchange process - its probable that they will also confirm your details and eligibility with the Czech issuing authority at that point as well, and identify your ineligibility at the same time.

Will my EU driving licence still be valid in the United Kingdom after Brexit?
EU licence-holders living in the UK can continue to use their licence if it is valid, subject to UK licence renewal requirements. This means an EU licence must be changed to a UK licence at the age of 70, or three years after the driver becomes resident, whichever is later.Can I drive in the UK while my licence is being exchanged?
