A common worry for new arrivals is whether they will have to sit a driving test all over again. The reassuring answer, for most people, is no.
EU and EEA licences are generally exchanged directly, with no theory or practical exam required. For licences from certain other countries the rules vary, and a theory test may be part of the process depending on where the licence was issued.
The safest approach is to confirm your own case before you assume either way. Knowing in advance whether a test applies lets you prepare calmly rather than being caught out on the day.
Wherever a step can be handled online, including signing with eParaksts, we point it out, so the paperwork around any test is as light as the rules allow.
