UK driving licence information

The UK government has recently updated the information regarding UK driving licences post-Brexit at:-https://www.gov.uk/

The site states that if you are resident in the EU, you will not be able to renew your UK driving licence. The site advises you to “Consider exchanging your UK driving licence for an EU licence as soon as possible in line with specific advice for your country of residence. If your UK licence is lost, stolen or expired, you may not be able to exchange it for an EU licence. You may have to apply for an EU licence and retake your driving test.”

The site gives information specific to each EU country with the following relating to Cyprus:-“You can continue to use your licence without exchanging until 7 July 2021. You are encouraged to exchange your licence within this period otherwise you may need to take a test. .”

Another section of the website states that you can use your Cypriot licence in the UK for short visits, or exchange it for a UK licence without taking a test should you resume residence in the UK.
