Offices that exchange foreign driving licences in Belgium

Each municipality has its own first step

The exchange is handled by the municipality where you are registered, and each office has its own first step: an assessment visit, your licence details sent in first, or an online application. It also pays to ask the desk what it expects of a sworn translation before you order one.
