The procedure:
To exchange a non-European driving licence, you need to make an appointment either in person at the Population Department counter or online, depending on the procedures in force in the local authority concerned. The costs and time taken for this procedure may vary from one local authority to another, but in general, you should expect to pay between €10 and €64, and the time taken may vary between 5 working days and 3 months. As regards the withdrawal of the exchanged licence, it is possible to appoint someone other than the owner to collect it.
