You can exchange the driving licence if you have the permanent place of residence in Lithuania*. You can prove this in two ways:

1. Your place of residence must be declared in Lithuania for at least 185 days in each calendar year. We will receive this data automatically from the Population Register.

The procedure of declaring your place of residence is extremely simple. You can do this online HERE.

2. In case your place of residence is not declared within the Republic of Lithuania or it has been declared for less than 185 calendar days within a given calendar year, you may use the documents of your choice for substantiating your personal or working relationship with the Republic of Lithuania.

*Place of residence - the applicant's place of residence where he or she normally resides for at least 185 calendar days within a given calendar year due to personal or working relationship, or in case of absence of working relationship, and only the presence of personal relationship which closely links the applicant to the place where he resides; Place of residence of an applicant whose personal and working relationships are in different states and who therefore travels to different places of residence in two or more States shall be deemed to be his or her place of personal relationship only if the applicant returns there constantly (this condition does not apply when the applicant is in a foreign country to perform a task of a defined duration); School or university attendance does not constitute for proper grounds to change the permanent residence address.

NOTE. Persons representing foreign countries or international organisations within the Republic of Lithuania and their family members exercising diplomatic privileges and immunities in accordance with the international law are not considered to be permanent residents of the Republic of Lithuania.

**The documents issued in some foreign countries must be legalized.

If you have acquired the right to drive in the United Kingdom before Brexit, when you return to live in Lithuania you will be able to exchange driving licence under the same conditions as before (when the UK was still a member of the EU). This means that you do not have to take driving tests (theory and practical) when exchanging your driving licence.

In order to exchange a driving licence, you will need to:

• be a permanent resident of Lithuania. Driving licence can be issued to person whose place of residence is declared in Lithuania for at least 185 days in every calendar year or who justified his/her ties (personal and/or occupational) with Lithuania (for example, provided employment contract or a document from school or university);
• also check your health and get a medical certificate.

Then you will need to arrive to "Regitra" subdivision and present these documents:

• valid personal ID document;
• a valid medical certificate – it must be issued by the Lithuanian medical institution (it can be obtained automatically);
• driving licence issued by the UK.

NOTE. If you have acquired the right to drive in Lithuania, but you have exchanged your driving licence in the UK (before or after Brexit), the driving licence will also be exchanged as usual, i.e. in the order described above.

If you acquired the right to drive in the United Kingdom after Brexit, when you return to live in Lithuania, you will only be able to exchange your driving licence by passing the theory and practical tests (driving school training is not required).

To be able to take test, you will need to:

• be a permanent resident of Lithuania. In other words, your place of residence must be declared in Lithuania for at least 185 days in every calendar year or you can justify your ties (personal and/or occupational) with Lithuania (for example, provided employment contract or a document from school or university);
• complete training under the compulsory first aid training program and present a health knowledge assessment (first aid) certificate;
• also check your health and get a medical certificate;
• present UK driving licence with its translation to Lithuanian.

When you pass the driving tests, you will be able to exchange your driving licence.

When you will arrive to "Regitra" subdivision you will need to present:

• valid personal ID document;
• a medical certificate – it must be issued by the Lithuanian medical institution (it can be obtained automatically);
• UK driving licence with its translation to Lithuanian.
