# How to Exchange a Foreign Driving Licence in Portugal (2026 IMT Process)

## The short answer

It depends on who issued your licence. An EU/EEA licence almost never has to be exchanged: register your address with IMT within 60 days of taking up residence and drive on until the expiry printed on the card. The one exception is an EU/EEA licence with no expiry printed on it, which the regulation gives you two years to exchange. Licences from the OECD and CPLP countries on IMT's list (the UK, the US, Canada, Brazil, Australia and others) can be driven on as a resident, provided the licence is valid, was issued or renewed within the last 15 years, and the holder is under 60. Everyone else runs on a clock counted from their residence permit: 90 days to file the exchange and keep driving, up to two years to exchange without a driving test, and a compulsory practical test after that. Licences from countries that signed neither traffic convention are not valid in Portugal at all. The standard route is IMT's A Minha Carta de Condução portal, and the fee is €30 less 10% for applying online, so €27 online.

Whether you must exchange your licence depends on who issued it, and Portugal splits the world into four groups. An **EU or EEA licence** almost never has to be exchanged: you drive on it until the expiry printed on the card, and your only duty is to register your address with IMT (*Instituto da Mobilidade e dos Transportes*, the transport regulator) within **60 days** of taking up residence. The one exception is a licence with **no expiry printed on it**, covered below. A licence from an **OECD or CPLP country on IMT's list** — the UK, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Australia and others — can be driven on even as a resident, if you meet four conditions. A licence from a **bilateral-agreement or traffic-convention country** runs on a clock: **90 days** from your residence permit to file the exchange, up to two years to exchange without a driving test, then a compulsory practical test. A licence from a **country that signed neither convention** is not valid for driving here at all.

Two things changed recently enough that most of what is written about this online is now wrong. Applications are **online only** — IMT no longer takes them at a counter. And since June 2026, a non-EU citizen's Portuguese licence expires with their residence permit rather than in fifteen years' time.

## Do you have to exchange your foreign licence?

| Licence issued by | Can you drive on it here? | Must you exchange it? |
|---|---|---|
| An EU or EEA country, expiry printed on the card | Yes, until that expiry | **No** — but register your address with IMT within 60 days of becoming resident |
| An EU or EEA country, **no expiry printed** | Yes, for now | **Yes**, within two years |
| An OECD or CPLP country on IMT's list | Yes, including as a resident, if four conditions hold | **No**, until a condition fails or you want extra categories |
| A bilateral-agreement or convention country not on IMT's OECD/CPLP list | 185 days as a visitor, then 90 days as a resident | **Yes** |
| A country that signed neither convention | **No** — the licence is not valid here | **Yes**, immediately, and with tests |

## Can you drive in Portugal as a tourist on your own licence?

Yes, for **185 days** counted from the day after you enter the country, as long as you have not taken up residence. That covers any state that signed the 1949 Geneva or 1968 Vienna traffic conventions, any state with a bilateral agreement with Portugal, and an **international driving permit** — but the permit only counts when presented with the national licence behind it. On its own it is not a driving licence.

The exception is blunt: a licence from a country that signed neither convention and has no agreement with Portugal is **not valid here even for a single day**. Hiring a car changes nothing — the [car hire directory](https://ultimateportugal.com/directory/car-rental) lists firms, but the licence question is settled before you reach the desk.

The 185 days are a visitor's allowance. Take up residence and a much shorter clock starts.

## How long do you have once you become resident?

This is where published advice misleads, by quoting one figure — two years — that is the deadline for one thing and not for another. IMT sets out three stages, counted from the date your *autorização de residência* (residence permit) was issued:

| Time since your residence permit was issued | What you may do |
|---|---|
| **Up to 90 days** | Keep driving on the foreign licence, **and file the exchange request with IMT** |
| **90 days to 2 years** | Still exchange without a driving test — but you may **no longer drive** on the foreign licence |
| **After 2 years** | No driving on the foreign licence, and the exchange now requires you to **pass a practical driving test** |

Both deadlines are real, and they do different jobs. **The 90-day one keeps you legally driving.** The two-year one only preserves your exemption from the test.

One honest wrinkle about when the clock starts. IMT counts from the date the residence permit was issued. The Código da Estrada, the statute underneath it, counts from *fixação da residência* — the moment you take up residence, which for many people is earlier. Nothing in either text says which one an officer at the roadside will use, and you do not have to resolve it: **file within 90 days of whichever date came first** and you satisfy both readings at once. The cost of guessing wrong the other way is a fine of **€300 to €1,500**.

### The one exception for EU and EEA licences

Look at your card. If it carries an **expiry date**, as every modern one does, you never have to exchange it: the 60-day address registration is all you owe IMT.

If it carries **no expiry** — some older cards and paper licences are lifetime documents — you are the exception, and it lives in the regulation rather than on IMT's page. The RHLC gives you **two years** to exchange and makes a driving test compulsory if you let that window pass. IMT's EU page tells undated-licence holders only to register their residence, and names no deadline. Treat the two years as the real one: the regulation is what a test requirement would rest on. Those cases also leave the portal — the user manual routes them by email instead.

## Which countries are on which list?

Three lists matter, and IMT publishes all of them.

**The OECD and CPLP list**, created by *Decreto-Lei* n.º 46/2022 and in force since 1 August 2022, is the group whose licences you can go on driving as a resident:

- **CPLP states that signed a traffic convention:** Brazil and Cabo Verde.
- **CPLP states with a bilateral agreement:** Angola, Cabo Verde, Mozambique and São Tomé e Príncipe.
- **OECD states outside the EU and EEA that signed a convention:** Australia, Canada, Chile, South Korea, the United States, Iceland, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Turkey.

Four conditions come with it. The licence must be **valid**; no more than **15 years** may have passed since it was issued or last renewed; the holder must be **under 60**; and the licence must not be seized, suspended, lapsed or revoked. You must also meet Portugal's minimum age for each category: **16** for AM, A1 and B1, **18** for A2, B, BE, C1 and C1E, **21** for C, CE, D1 and D1E, **24** for A, D and DE — with A available at 20 after two years on A2, and C and D earlier with a professional driver qualification.

Read what that regime does *not* buy you. It authorises driving **in Portugal only** — it is not a Portuguese licence and it does not travel. You cannot add a category, take a Group II endorsement, or obtain the CAM and CQM certificates that TVDE and school-transport driving require without exchanging first.

**The bilateral-agreement list** is short: Andorra, Angola, Cabo Verde, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, Mozambique, São Tomé e Príncipe and Switzerland.

**The convention-signatory list** is long — roughly a hundred states, from Algeria to Zimbabwe — and IMT publishes it as a PDF alongside the bilateral one. Check yours there rather than assuming.

### Which list wins if your country is on two?

Five countries sit on two lists at once: **Angola, Cabo Verde, Mozambique, São Tomé e Príncipe and Switzerland**. Most convention signatories appear twice as well.

The OECD/CPLP page wins, and the lists are not really rivals. Being on the bilateral or convention list is the *qualifying condition* the OECD/CPLP regime names in its own first bullet, and *Decreto-Lei* n.º 46/2022 then lifts the exchange duty for the CPLP and OECD members among them. The bilateral PDF is an inventory of the agreements, describing the position each one created — a position the 2022 decree changed for these five.

The working rule: **look for your country on IMT's OECD/CPLP page first.** Named there, you may keep driving as a resident on the conditions above. Not named — Andorra, the United Arab Emirates and Morocco are the bilateral-list countries in that position — and you are in the 185-day and 90-day group. IMT never states that precedence in one sentence, so this is our reading of two of its pages, not a quoted rule.

The same caution applies if you hold a **Brazilian** licence: Brazil is missing from IMT's convention-signatory list, though IMT's OECD/CPLP page names Brazil explicitly and so does gov.pt. The pages that address your case are the ones we would rely on.

### What happens when you turn 60, or the fifteen years run out?

The acceptance ends and you fall back into the ordinary exchange route. IMT publishes **no grace period and no deadline** for that moment — a real gap in its guidance, not a rule we can quote at you. File the exchange **before** the birthday or the fifteen-year anniversary arrives, while you are still plainly entitled to drive.

It is at least the easy version of the exchange: IMT states that drivers from these countries are exempt from driving tests for every category they exchange, whether they want to exchange or have to.

## How does the IMT exchange work, step by step?

There is one standard route and two exceptions:

- **Standard:** IMT's **A Minha Carta de Condução** portal. IMT states plainly that exchange requests cannot be made in person at a counter.
- **Undated or lifetime licences:** by email to aminhacarta@imt-ip.pt, documents attached individually as PDFs, NIF in the subject line.
- **Madeira:** the regional IMT runs its own services portal, and it ended in-person exchange requests on **21 January 2026**.

The portal route, in order:

1. **Get the medical assessment first.** Your doctor issues the *atestado médico* electronically on the health ministry's platform, and IMT reads it from there. You never upload a copy. Categories C, D or E also need a **psychological evaluation certificate**.
2. **Create an account and authenticate**, using a Cartão de Cidadão, a Chave Móvel Digital, or your NIF and Portal das Finanças password. Confirm your email address — every notification goes there.
3. **Complete the form and attach your documents**, each a separate PDF of no more than 2 MB.
4. **Pay.** IMT emails a multibanco reference once the request is registered. It becomes payable 24 hours after issue, and nothing moves until it is paid.
5. **Wait for the technical review**, handled in order of arrival. Answer any IMT query inside **30 days** — unanswered requests close automatically, and the fee is not refunded.
6. **Attend the counter appointment** once approved, at the office you choose. Non-Portuguese nationals must attend in person: you hand over the original licence and the original certificate of authenticity, and they take your photograph and signature. You have **180 days** before the file is closed for desertion, again with no refund.
7. **Collect or receive the licence.** gov.pt puts the average at about **60 days**, with a provisional guide issued meanwhile so you can drive.

Two eligibility points catch people out: applicants **resident abroad are not eligible**, and a **dual national** must be resident in Portugal to apply.

### What documents does IMT ask for?

The list barely changes between the country groups:

- Your **identification document** or residence permit, front and back.
- **Comunicação de residência** from your *câmara municipal* (town hall), if you hold no Cartão de Cidadão.
- A **tax address certificate** (*certidão de domicílio fiscal*) from the Portal das Finanças, if your residence document shows no address — which needs a [NIF](https://ultimateportugal.com/guides/how-to-get-a-nif-portugal).
- Your **passport**, if the residence document carries no photograph and signature.
- Your **foreign driving licence**, front and back.
- A **psychological evaluation certificate**, for categories C, D or E.
- A **certificate of authenticity** from the authority that issued your licence, or its consular service, naming which categories you obtained by examination — and which type of test — and which by equivalence. It is on the document list for the bilateral-agreement and convention groups **and** on the OECD/CPLP list, so a UK or US driver exchanging voluntarily needs one too. It is usually the slowest item, so start it early.
- A **certified translation** by a Portuguese consular service, where the licence is not in an accepted language.

## What does the exchange cost?

| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| IMT exchange fee | **€30** base, less 10% online, so **€27** payable through the portal |
| Theory test, non-convention countries | **€30** per test |
| Practical test, non-convention countries | **€30** per test |
| Medical certificate | Your doctor's own charge — **IMT does not set it** |
| Address registration (EU/EEA) | **Free** |

The €27 is our arithmetic: IMT publishes the figure as "€30 with a 10% online discount", and the portal is the standard route. The test fees come from *Portaria* n.º 1165/2010 and are charged **per test and per category**, so a driver from a non-convention country holding three categories faces six tests.

Watch the six-month rule: a medical or psychological certificate marked *Apto* is **valid for six months** from issue. Getting it done long before you file is a way of paying twice.

## What happens if you miss the window?

Nothing arrives in the post to tell you. The consequences stack up quietly:

- **Past 90 days without filing:** you may no longer drive on the foreign licence. Driving anyway carries a fine of **€300 to €1,500**. The exchange stays open, and exam-free, for the rest of the two years.
- **Past two years:** a **practical driving test** becomes a condition of the exchange, with no discretion.
- **A licence from a non-convention country:** you must pass a **theory test and a practical test for every category** you hold, at €30 per test. Until you do, you may not drive.
- **A stalled application:** 30 days without answering IMT, or 180 days without attending the appointment, closes the file and keeps the fee. You can start again, and pay again.

If you would rather sit the theory test in English, ask when you apply. gov.pt still lists translation for AM, A1, A2, A, B1 and B only, but *Decreto-Lei* n.º 114/2026 extended it to **all categories**, 30 days after the decree's publication on 8 June 2026. Ask IMT rather than assuming either version.

## Will your Portuguese licence expire with your residence permit?

If you are a non-EU citizen, yes — and it is the most important recent change on this subject.

Since **9 June 2026**, under *Decreto-Lei* n.º 114/2026, a Portuguese licence held by a non-EU citizen is valid only while their visa or residence permit is valid, **or while a renewal is under way**. New licences carry **restriction code 794** in place of the usual long expiry, and licences issued before that date face the same check without the printed code. Our news post on [driving licences and residence permits](https://ultimateportugal.com/posts/portugal-driving-licence-residence-permit) covers the decree, the code and the parliamentary petition against it.

That has an edge for anyone exchanging now. gov.pt already warns that "the Portuguese driving licence may have a different expiry date from the original" — that sentence is this rule. The fifteen-year card you might expect is, for a non-EU resident, a card that tracks your residence permit. Keep dated proof that any [AIMA renewal](https://ultimateportugal.com/guides/aima-residency-appointments) is under way: it now protects your right to drive as well as your right to stay.

The same decree also lets IMT confirm a **lost or stolen** foreign licence through the European licence network rather than refusing it, recognises only categories obtained in your **state of habitual residence**, and lets IMT demand official confirmation or a practical test where a category is in doubt.

## What should you do next?

- **Find your date first.** Look up when your residence permit was issued, count 90 days, and put it in the calendar.
- **Order the certificate of authenticity now** if you need one — it comes from the authority that issued your licence abroad, and it is the item most likely to blow the deadline.
- Tolls, hire cars and the electronic-only motorways are in [getting around Portugal](https://ultimateportugal.com/guides/getting-around-portugal).
- If the permit renewal is what is stuck, read [AIMA residency appointments](https://ultimateportugal.com/guides/aima-residency-appointments) — it now does double duty for your licence.
- Need a doctor for the medical certificate? Start with [healthcare in Portugal](https://ultimateportugal.com/guides/healthcare-in-portugal).

## Frequently asked questions

### How long do I have to exchange my foreign driving licence in Portugal?

If your licence comes from a country with a bilateral agreement with Portugal or one that signed a traffic convention, IMT gives you 90 days from your residence permit to file the exchange request. You may keep driving on the foreign licence during those 90 days. After that you may still exchange it for up to two years, but you may no longer drive on it. Past two years, the exchange requires you to pass a practical driving test. EU/EEA licences have no exchange deadline at all.

### Do I need to exchange a UK or US driving licence in Portugal?

No, not to keep driving. The UK and the United States are both on IMT's OECD list, so their licences are accepted in Portugal even after you become resident — as long as the licence is valid, no more than 15 years have passed since it was issued or last renewed, you are under 60, and the licence has not been suspended or seized. Turn 60 or pass the fifteen-year mark and that acceptance ends, so file the exchange before the date arrives: IMT publishes no grace period for it. You also have to exchange if you want to add categories, take a Group II endorsement, or drive for TVDE or school transport. For this group the exchange is exempt from driving tests.

### Do I need a medical certificate to exchange my driving licence in Portugal?

Yes. Your doctor carries out the medical assessment and issues the atestado médico electronically, on the health ministry's platform, from where IMT reads it. You never upload a copy. A certificate marked Apto is valid for six months from the date it is issued, so do not get it too far ahead of your application. If you hold categories C, D or E you also need a psychological evaluation certificate.

### How much does it cost to exchange a foreign driving licence in Portugal?

The fee is €30, less 10% for applying online, so €27 is what you pay through the portal. It does not include your doctor's charge for the medical certificate, which IMT does not set. If your licence comes from a country that signed neither traffic convention, you also pay €30 for each test you have to sit, theory and practical, for every category.

### Can I drive while IMT processes my licence exchange?

Inside the first 90 days after your residence permit, yes — the foreign licence still works. Beyond that it does not, whether or not your application is in the queue. Once the exchange is approved, gov.pt says the Portuguese licence takes about 60 days to arrive and that a provisional guide is issued in the meantime so you can drive.
