Coming from abroad and want to exchange your driving licence? We offer English- and BSH-speaking instructors — and we understand that paperwork can be a real headache.
At Tilia, we have instructors who speak English and Bosnian-Serbian-Croatian. No language barrier during driving lessons or when explaining the process.
First read the text below, which clearly explains whether you can obtain a Slovenian driving licence at all. Then contact us, and we will advise you based on your specific case.
Under Article 61 of the Drivers Act, a valid foreign driving licence may be exchanged for a Slovenian driving licence by a foreigner who, based on a residence permit in the Republic of Slovenia, has had registered residence for more than 6 months.
The same also applies to a Slovenian citizen who returns from abroad to the Republic of Slovenia for permanent residence, or has had registered temporary residence in the Republic of Slovenia for more than 6 months — provided they meet the other conditions laid down by this Act for driving motor vehicles, such as the required age, physical and mental fitness, medical certificate, and similar requirements.
A Slovenian driving licence is issued if the holder of a valid foreign driving licence passes the practical part of the driving test for the vehicle categories they are entitled to drive with their foreign driving licence.
Because the rules around foreign driving licences can change, we recommend checking the latest information directly at the source — the Administrative Unit.
All official information about the exchange procedure is available on the Administrative Unit Ljubljana website. This is also where you submit the application for the exchange.
Need more information? Visit Slovenian Traffic Safety Agency website. Or simply call us — our staff speaks English fluently.
Call or write to us — we will advise you based on your specific case, in a language you understand. No stress, no paperwork headache.
