• Students who move to NB do not need to exchange their license while in school, but as soon as they take up permanent residence or become gainfully employed, they must exchange their license.
• Return of foreign license

In most situations, the driver will never have a need for the foreign license. There are situations, however, where the applicant will be returning to their home country and will need or request the return of the license. This will be permitted as long as the license is available in our records system. The NB license must be surrendered and the foreign license returned to the driver. If the driver returns to New Brunswick, the foreign license may be surrendered and a replacement NB license issued as per normal procedures.

• Motorcycle Endorsement

A motorcycle endorsement on a non-resident license may be transferred to any New Brunswick license issued. This includes non-residents from Canada, United States, or the Countries listed above.
