  • You could need to take certain driving tests before you get a full drivers license. It depends on:
    • how long you have been driving
    • if the valid drivers license you have was issued in a country that does or does not have an exchange agreement in place with Armenia.

  • Identification no.

Need for the DocumentEdit

You can exchange a foreign driver license for an Armenian license.

For Armenian new permanent residents, their foreign driving license needs to be converted within 3 months of their permanent residency. After 3 months, their foreign driving license will become invalid. In many cases, the new permanent residents are required to take driving tests.



Information which might helpEdit

The agent will process your application, check your identification, take your photograph and a sample signature for your license, check your eyesight and arrange an appointment for any theory or practical driving tests.


Other uses of the Document/CertificateEdit

The law obliges all holders of a foreign drivers license who also have a residency permit in Armenia, to apply to exchange their drivers license for a Armenian drivers license.

OthersEdit

Some countries require similar driving skills and have similar licensing systems to Armenian. Depending on the country you have come from and the class of license you are converting, you may not have to sit theory and/or practical tests. Other countries may have driver licensing systems that are very different from Armenian. People from these countries do have to sit both theory and practical tests.
