Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will consider recognising Kosovan driving licences.
We already recognise Kosovan driving licences. Holders of a valid Kosovan driving licence can drive small vehicles (cars up to 3,500kg and motorcycles), provided entitlement is shown on their licence, for 12 months from the date they become resident in GB or 12 months from the date they enter the country if they are visiting. To continue driving after this time, residents must obtain a GB licence.
Officials are currently progressing the work needed to introduce an exchange arrangement for Kosovan driving licences, subject to a public consultation and the necessary legal process. This would allow Kosovan licence holders resident in GB to obtain a GB licence without the need to take a test.
