Foreign driving licenses (licencias extranjeras) can be used in Colombia as long as they are still valid in the country they were issued in. This means that unless there are very specific reasons for doing so, it is not necessary to convert a foreign driving license to a Colombian license. There may however be a limit to the length of a time a foreign vehicle may be used in the country, and this should be checked if a car has been temporarily imported.

If the driving license is going to expire and the holder plans to remain in Colombia, then it can be replaced with a driving license issued by the national authorities. The current driving license must first be recognized as valid by the Ministry of Transport. The process is known as Convalidacin de Licencia de Conduccin Extranjera (recognition of a foreign driving license).
