NL Driver’s Licences Now Available to Ukrainian Newcomers

The provincial government has made an amendment to motor vehicle regulations that now allows for the quick exchange of a Ukrainian driver’s licence for a Newfoundland and Labrador licence.

Ukrainian newcomers with a Newfoundland and Labrador driver’s licence and a record of their driving history will also be eligible for automobile insurance rates.

Ukrainian newcomers can have their Class 5 driver’s licences exchanged at any Motor Registration Division office, provided they are can produce a Ukrainian driver’s licence; proof that they are at least 17 years of age; and proof that their driver’s licence is not suspended, cancelled, revoked, or expired more than five years.

Ukraine driver’s licence requirements are similar to the requirements in this province.
