Hello,

I lived in Dubai for more than 10 years as Expat. I have recently relocated to Belgium and want to exchange my driving license issued in Dubai. Can anyone guide me what documents will be required for exchange. I am currently living in Brussels and driving using my IDP but heard that may need to Exchange my license after 185 days.

If your license is still valid and looks like the ones here: https://mobilit.belgium.be/sites/defaul … mirats.pdf

Good news you can swap for a Belgian one.

Just go to your local Commune/Gemeente and they will guide and help to initiate the process.

P.S: I am curious why did you left Dubai for Belgium?

@pmichelazzo thanks I was curious what I need to provide as proof of residence as I was expat in Dubai.

@Edigj I checked local commune and they ask me to provide the proof of residence which I didnt understand a much due to language barier. You are right I missed Dubai a lot but this was my job relocation.
