Deadline to exchange Dutch-side-issued driving licences is December 31, 2018 | THE DAILY HERALD

 

MARIGOT–French-side residents who still have driving licences issued on the Dutch side before 2012 will be able to exchange them for the French driving licence only until December 31, 2018.

  This decision was adopted by the Territorial Council at a brief session on April 26, 2018. The holders concerned have been unable to change or renew their licences on the Dutch side due to rule changes there, and consequently would be driving with invalid licences.

  The exchange applies to all licence categories except E issued in St. Maarten, Saba or St. Eustatius. There is no requirement to redo a theoretical or practical driving test. The licences that can be exchanged must have been issued in St. Maarten before January 1, 2012. There is no plan yet for licenses issued after that date.

  Proof of residence on the French side must be given and a fee of 200 euros applies for the French driving licence. The exchange will be done by the services in Hotel de la Collectivité.
