Are there any differences in traffic rules in this country compared to Ukrainian ones?

Our experts have not yet prepared an answer to this question.

Is it possible to drive a car with a Ukrainian driver's license?

You must have both a full driving licence and in date motor insurance to drive a vehicle on UK roads. If you have a full driving licence issued in Ukraine, you may use this licence to drive small vehicles (such as motorcycles, cars, and vehicles up to 3500kgs or with up to 8 passenger seats) for up to a year in the UK. The licence must cover the vehicle being driven and must still be valid. To continue to drive after this, you’ll need to exchange it for a British licence mceclip0.png.

Is it necessary to register the car in the new country of residence?

You will not need to register or tax your vehicle in the UK if all of the following apply:

  • you have arrived in the UK and are coming from Ukraine;
  • the vehicle is registered and taxed in its home country;
  • you only use the vehicle in the UK for no more than 6 months.

When entering the UK, you can drive past a customs control point (usually a green channel marked ‘nothing to declare’) without speaking to a customs officer.

If you become a resident or stay for longer than six months, you must register and tax your vehicle in the UK. It is possible to use foreign number plates in the UK for at least six months.
