Canada and UK Drivers License agreement

Canada and UK have joined forces to make the changing over of your UK drivers license for a Nova Scotia drivers license easy, painless and convenient.

Residents of the United Kingdom who move to Nova Scotia will now be able to exchange their valid driver's licence for one in Nova Scotia.

Service Nova Scotia and Municipal Relations Minister John MacDonell and High Commissioner Andrew Pocock have signed a reciprocity agreement that will allow residents of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to drive in Nova Scotia without taking a written or road test, if they have a valid licence from home.

Nova Scotians who live, work or study in the United Kingdom will have the same privileges.

"This agreement will make it easier for residents of the United Kingdom who choose to work or study in Nova Scotia, while ensuring road safety is protected," said Mr. MacDonell.

Nova Scotia has similar arrangements with Germany and South Korea. Just one more way to make living in Canada that much easier and simpler. What are you waiting for?
