An Irish driving licence can only be issued to a person resident in Ireland. A UK driving licence will be accepted for exchange in Ireland for up to one year after the expiry date of the licence.
A UK licence can be exchanged for a Irish licence online if an applicant has a Public Services Card and a verified MyGovID account.
My Department and the Road Safety Authority has advised holders of a UK driving licence resident in Ireland to exchange their licence for a Irish one since 2019.
