Written question asked by Christine Jardine (Liberal Democrat) on Tuesday, 21 September 2021, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 23 September 2021. It was answered by Trudy Harrison (Conservative) on Tuesday, 28 September 2021 on behalf of the Department for Transport.
Driving Licences: Italy
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent progress he has made on reaching a reciprocal arrangement for the recognition of driving licences with Italy.
- Answer
-
The Department for Transport has successfully agreed arrangements with Italy for the mutual recognition of photocard licences. As such, visitors with UK photocard licences will not need to carry an additional International Driving Permit when driving in Italy.
We have also secured interim arrangements with the Italian authorities which will allow UK licence holders resident in Italy to continue to use their valid UK licence until the end of this year. We are working with the Italian Government to finalise a permanent licence exchange agreement as soon as possible.
