Exchange Your Foreign Driving Licence in Denmark

Exchange Your Foreign Driving Licence in Denmark

Do you already have a driving licence from another country and need help understanding how to exchange it for a Danish driving licence? 
At Tweetys Køreskole, we help you get an overview of the process and understand your next steps.The requirements depend on the country where your driving licence was issued and your individual situation. In some cases, you may need to pass a theory test and a practical driving test before your licence can be exchanged.

How does the process work?

1. Contact Borgerservice

Start by booking an appointment with Borgerservice in your municipality.

Borgerservice will review your documents and assess whether your foreign driving licence can be exchanged directly or whether you need to complete a theory test and a practical driving test.

2. Wait for the assessment

The requirements may vary depending on the country where your driving licence was issued.

Some applicants can exchange their licence without taking a test. Others must pass a theory test and a practical driving test before receiving a Danish driving licence.

3. Contact us when you know the requirements

Once you have received the assessment from Borgerservice, you are welcome to contact us.

We can help you understand the next steps and discuss the practical process if a driving test is required.

Do you need a controlling driving test?

A controlling driving test consists of:

✓ A theory test
✓ A practical driving test

You are not required to complete a full driving course before taking the tests. However, it may be helpful to book practical driving lessons before your driving test, so you can become familiar with Danish traffic rules, road conditions and the test format.

Important information

The rules for exchanging a foreign driving licence depend on several factors, including:

✓ The country where your driving licence was issued
✓ Whether you have normal residence in Denmark
✓ How long you have lived in Denmark
✓ Whether your driving licence is valid
✓ Whether a controlling driving test is required

Borgerservice will assess your individual case and inform you about the specific requirements.
