Exchanging driving license

Post by Kkkkkkk » Mon Apr 29, 2019 11:05 pm

I applied to exchange my driver license for finnish.
One month has passed, but I have not got the card.
It is said that this process needs 3 weeks normally.
I'm afraid because I have to drive abroad next month.

If there is someone who has this experience, please teach me.

Question
-How long did you need since applying to receiving?
- Is there anyone who applied international license with temporary license? Is it possible?

What did they say to you when you applied for the license? In my case they told me it will take from one to six months, so far it's been three months and still waiting.

The temporary piece of paper they gave me it's valid until the end of the six months, so I assume that's the due date for them. They also told me that this is only valid for driving in Finland, which makes sense since it's just a piece of paper. So I hardly believe that you can get an international permit with that.

mine took 3 weeks. but you did not state the nationality of the driving licence you exchanged. no doubt the time is different for different countries since they might have to check with the issuing authority if the license is valid and correct.
