How to Exchange a Foreign Driving Licence in Luxembourg
What you must do with a foreign driving licence in Luxembourg depends on where it was issued. EU/EEA licences are recognised automatically and can be registered free or exchanged for EUR 30 (earliest 185 days after arrival). Non-EU/EEA licences must be converted within one year of taking up residence, and a test may be required depending on the category and country. The process runs through the SNCA and MyGuichet.lu.
