Frequently asked

What people usually ask.

Can you use a Ukrainian driving licence in Poland?

Yes, until you receive a karta pobytu — unlimited use. After receiving a residence permit — 9 months to exchange. Direct exchange (no exam) requires only a medical certificate and Starostwo visit.

Is an exam required?

EU and Ukrainian citizens — direct exchange without exam. Some other nationalities require a theory exam at WORD. We confirm based on your country of issue.

How do you register a Ukrainian vehicle in Poland?

You need: customs clearance (SAD + excise mark), technical inspection (SKP), OC insurance, filing at Wydział Komunikacji. We assist at every step.

Is it mandatory to exchange your licence after getting a residence permit?

Yes. Using a foreign licence with a Polish residence permit after the 9-month period is a violation and can result in a fine.
