View answerReaching bilateral agreements on the exchange of foreign driving licences between two countries can take time as the agreements can be made only when the relevant authorities in each jurisdiction have studied and compared the two licensing regimes, so that each side can be satisfied that they are compatible.
The Memorandum of Understanding between Ireland and Alberta, Canada on the reciprocal exchange of driving licences is currently in the final stages of preparation.
