View answerIrish driving licences can only be issued to people resident in Ireland. There is therefore no facility to issue driving licences to Irish citizens living abroad.
EU driving licences are mutually recognised by Member States. If a holder of an Irish licence resides in another Member State, it is recommended that they exchange their Irish licence for a licence issued by the State they now reside in.
