#Drivers license returned to sender driver#
The foreign licence is held by the NDLS and the driver is issued with a receipt confirming they paid the €55 processing fee but which also states it “cannot be used in place of a Driving Licence/Learner Permit”. If expats decide to return to Ireland in the years after that, they have to go through a similar exchange process with the National Driver Licence Service (NDLS) here. In most cases, motorists who emigrate must surrender their Irish licence to be granted a licence to drive in the respective foreign country. However, in some cases this is taking up to six months with some saying they are left in “limbo” while they wait.ĭrivers fear insurance companies will cancel their policies over the inability to produce a copy of their licence, while others, who require a car for work, fear they are at risk of losing their jobs. Returning motorists have been advised that it can take between two weeks and three months before they are issued with a Irish driver’s licence. IRISH EXPATS RETURNING to Ireland are being forced off the road for up to six months due to delays in exchanging their foreign driving licences for Irish ones.
