Conversion of Foreign Driving License

To convert your foreign driving license in Singapore, you need to meet certain eligibility requirements, submit your documents, and pass the necessary tests. The process varies depending on your country of origin. Follow the official guidelines and complete the conversion online or in person.

To convert your foreign driving licence to a Singapore Qualified Driving Licence (QDL), follow these steps:

  1. Pass the Basic Theory Test (BTT)
    All applicants must pass the BTT before applying for conversion. Work Permit and S-Pass holders need only the BTT to drive Class 3 vehicles. Singapore Police Force

  2. Gather Required Documents
    Prepare the following:

    • A recent passport-size photograph (matte or semi-matte finish, white background)

    • Original and photocopies of your identification (e.g., NRIC, passport, or work pass)

    • Your foreign driving licence

    • Official translation of your foreign licence (if not in English)

    • Documents proving at least 6 months of residency in the country where your licence was issued
