Under EU legislation, Member States issue driving licences to persons whose normal residence is within their jurisdiction.  If a person is normally resident in Northern Ireland, we are therefore not able to issue them with an Irish driving licence. If a person from Northern Ireland moves to this jurisdiction, they may exchange their driving licence for the Irish equivalent.
