International and national driver's license are two different documents.

As explained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a national driver's license is issued after passing the exams. The international one is actually a translation into several languages of the information of the national driver's license, it is issued in addition to it and is not valid separately from the national driver's license.

Starting from June 29, 2022, Ukrainian national driver's licenses will be recognized in Europe.

In turn, an international driver's license must be obtained to travel to countries that are signatories to the Geneva Convention.

This applies, for example, to Canada, the USA, India, Egypt, etc.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs reminded that in the EU it is possible to:

• use a Ukrainian driver's license without the need to exchange it during the entire period of being under protection;
• use old-style driver's licenses that do not have an expiration date or are issued in the form of a booklet. Now it is not necessary to additionally have their certified translation and international driver's license, but you must have a document to confirm your identity;
• use a Ukrainian driver's license even if it expires;
• get a temporary (for the period of stay under protection) EU model driver's license in case of loss or theft of a Ukrainian driver's license without passing exams.

We also remind you that, if necessary, you can exchange your driver's license abroad at the branches of the Dokument State Enterprise. The exchange is relevant if the driver's profile data has changed, the license has expired or the document has been seriously damaged. Currently, Dokument SE divisions are open in Poland, Turkey, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Germany and Spain.

Passenger cars and buses can be registered in the electronic queue to cross the border.

Recently, the Cabinet of Ministers supported the decision to expand the electronic border crossing queue for drivers of passenger cars and buses. Previously, this service worked for road freight transport.

The pilot project for passing passenger buses started in August. Buses can already register in the electronic queue for crossing the border to pass through the checkpoint "Yagodin - Dorogusk".

The project allows you to register in advance in the queue, arrive at the customs point at the specified time and quickly go through the formalities at the border.
