Acquiring and renewing a driving licence
EU and EFTA Member States mutually recognise the validity of their driving licences, motor insurances and vehicle registration certificates. Therefore, driving licences been issued in EU and EFTA Member States remain valid in Poland. If a citizen of an EU or EFTA Member State has a temporary driving licence or another document issued by the state of origin which confirms his/her temporary rights to drive, then such documents is not recognised in Poland.
A citizen of an EU or EFTA Member State who has moved to Poland is allowed to drive vehicles under his/her valid driving licence until its expiry date. In the event the driving licence expires, is stolen or lost, a new driving licence must be applied for in Poland.
