Driving Licences: Moldova
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 18 September 2025 to Question 76334 on Driving Licences: Moldova, if her Department will publish the technical evaluation undertaken by the (a) DVLA and (b) DVSA on Moldovan driving test standards; what the date was of that assessment; and whether any independent verification was sought.
- Answer
-
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) initially assessed the current driver testing standards in Moldova in December 2022.
When DVSA receives an application from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency under the mutual exchange of driving licences, DVSA carries out an evaluation from its own panel of subject matter experts. This panel has the expertise in each of the categories of driving test and licence exchange being applied for. External evaluation is not sought as part of this process.
