If you hold a driving license from an EEA country, the UK, Switzerland, or Japan, it remains valid while you establish permanent residence. After 6 months of permanent residence, you are eligible to exchange it for an Icelandic license without a driving test.
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is recommended or required if your foreign license is not from an EEA country, the UK, or Japan, or if your national license is not easily understandable in English, Icelandic, or another Nordic language. It serves as a translation of your valid national license.
After 6 months of permanent residence (lögheimili) in Iceland, a driving license issued by countries outside the EEA, the UK, or Japan is no longer valid for driving. You must then apply for an Icelandic driving license, which requires both a theoretical and a practical driving test.
No, upon receiving an Icelandic driving license, you must surrender your EEA license to the District Commissioner. Icelandic regulations do not permit holding driving licenses from two European countries simultaneously.
Lögheimili refers to your registered permanent residence in Iceland. Once you have established lögheimili for 6 months, specific rules for exchanging your foreign driving license become mandatory, and the validity of your non-EEA license for driving ceases.
