Becoming a resident of the Principality comes with a number of administrative steps — and one of the most important is exchanging your foreign driving licence for a Monegasque one. Fortunately, in Monaco, the process is designed to be clear, efficient and fully managed through the Service des Titres de Circulation.
For those relocating to Monaco and already holding a foreign driving licence, applying for a Monegasque driving licence is a necessary part of settling into life in the Principality. The procedure is straightforward and can be completed either online or in person.
How to Exchange a Foreign Driving Licence in Monaco
The exchange process follows a structured path:
- Submit your request online or in person.
- Provide your residence card, passport, foreign licence, photos, and proof of address.
- Wait for approval and collect your new Monegasque driving licence.
If your licence is not issued by an eligible country, a short driving test may be required.
