Offices that exchange foreign driving licences in Poland

Pick the city or county office for your home address

Licence exchange is handled by the transport department of a city office, a county office or, in Warsaw, a district office, and the right one is the office for where you live. Some offices start with a document check before anything else, and the exam rules depend on the licence you hold. Prepare supporting papers such as a photocopy of the licence and your residence document.

    Start at the information point for a document check, then go on to the transport department.

    Prepare application SK-1.1, identity evidence, a compliant 35 × 45 mm colour photograph no older than six months, the foreign licence and its copy, fee proof and the residence evidence or declaration applicable to your case. A sworn Polish translation or one certified by the competent Polish consul may be required; licences following the specified standard EU models have a translation exemption. A non-convention licence may require a Polish theory test. Medical or psychological evidence depends on the case, including relevant expired-licence categories; arrange it after checking the exact requirements. Bring identification and the foreign original for personal collection and surrender of the exchanged document. Ask the information point for the current application and required residence declaration. Older printed forms may still be accepted with a supplemental declaration during a transition period; ask the office which form applies. Meet the residence conditions and submit the current declaration no later than collection or the planned postal dispatch, where that route is allowed. Some theory-test cases require this by the exam day; confirm which deadline applies with the department.
