A person who is normally resident in Ireland but currently working or studying abroad can apply by post to renew or replace their driving licence. Details are available on the National Driver Licence Service (NDLS) website at www.ndls.ie/licensed-driver/driving-abroad.html#are-you-living-abroad-to-study-or-working-abroad-to-carry-out-a-task-of-a-definite-duration.

A person living and working in another EU country cannot renew their driving licence in Ireland. They must contact the licensing authority in that country to exchange their current Irish driving licence.
