R&Drive: Driving licence and car registration for foreigners

24/09/2014 , , No comments
When you move to Italy and take your car with you, you need to register it. In Italy, you must register your vehicle within 1 year.
At the same time, if you have a non-expiring driving licence (a licence for life), you must convert it to the new European format within 19 January 2015.
EU driving licences with an expiration date are not formally required to be converted; nevertheless, it would be advisable to always convert your foreign driving licence to the new format in the country where you live - in our case, Italy.

Thanks to our agreement with Studiozeta, we can now offer full support and special conditions to help R&D members and their families to easily convert foreign driving licences and register their car in Italy. 

The paperwork can be done directly at our secretariat, with our help! No problems with language or bureaucracy. We simplify your life and make it convenient for you to integrate with the current European and Italian driving rules.


CONVERSION OF DRIVING LICENCES (A/B type)

 Cost: 130€ (instead of 145€) for our members and their families (taxes and medical visit included).

EU Driving Licences 
The holder of a driving licence issued by one of the EU member States has no obligation to exchange his/her driving licence for an Italian one (even after 1 year from becoming an Italian resident). In this case the foreign driving licence remains subject to Italian law as concerns renewal periods and penalties. 
Nevertheless it is recommended to apply for the exchange of the EU driving licence to enable the Italian authorities to deal with renewal or duplicate procedures.
When applying for the exchange, you must surrender your foreign licence that will be replaced by the Italian one.
The application must be submitted within the period of validity of the foreign licence.

Non-EU driving licences
Foreigners holding a non-EU driving licence can drive in Italy for a maximum of 1 year from acquiring residence in Italy, after which they must exchange their driving licence for an Italian one.
Foreign licences issued by non-EU countries need to be accompanied by a translation with revenue stamp. The translation must be certified by the diplomatic representative of the country having issued the driving licence as being a true and faithful rendition of the original document. The certified translation must be validated by the competent "Prefettura" offices.
