Withdrawn License?

Question

I've had a european driverse license since 2001 but it has been withdrawn 2007. I have moved to UK now and have a provisional license. I just wonder after I pass the theory and driving test will the DATE of my new license begin from the first time i took license (2001) or those 6years i had lisence wont count?? I need that becouse I am taking a minicab license and you must've had license for at least 2years! thnx for answers

Answer 1

HELLO

EASY YOUR EUROPEAN LICENCE WAS NON VALID FOR ENGLAND, TO BE SO YOU WOULD NEEDED AN INTERNATIONAL LICENCE, VALID 1 YEAR, NOT FOR COUNTRY YOU APPLIED FROM;

YOU NOW HAVE AN PROVISIONAL WITH START DATE,

IF YOU CHECK DOES IT STATE YOU MUST HAVE AN ENGLISH FULL LICENCE FOR 2 YEARS BEFORE YOU CAN APPLY, IF SO THIS WOULD APPLY FROM WHEN YOU PASS YOUR ENGLISH TEST

Answer 2

Hello,

The validity date will commence when either when your licence is printed, or when you are the legal age to drive (if applicable to you)

There are 2 tests at the moment :

Theory : £30.00

Practical : £50.00 (approx)

After passing the group 'B' theory test, you will have a 2 year period to take and pass the practical driving assesment, otherwise your theory score will be void and the test won't count.

If you wish to become a taxi driver, then a test will be conducted, possibly by the council, and after passing you will be able to purchase a license, which cost about £600 per a year.

European licences are totally different to the U.K ones. You may drive over here on a valid european licence, or foreign licence for up to 12 months, then you will have to use a British one.

If you require any more information on this case, there are several websites you can visit.

Answer 3

date of new license will be as from passing new test

the previous license will not count
