Cabinet approves Ukraine-Lithuania agreement on mutual recognition of driver's licenses

Taras Melnychuk, permanent representative of the Cabinet of Ministers in the Verkhovna Rada, announced this on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"The agreement obliges the parties to recognize and exchange national driver's licenses based on the principle of reciprocity," Melnychuk noted.

He added that such an exchange is carried out without the need to pass relevant practical and theoretical tests.

The agreement establishes the correspondence of the driver's license categories of the two states, as well as determines the mechanism for confirming the fact of issuing a driver's license, which is submitted for exchange.

As reported, on May 30, Ukraine and Lithuania signed an agreement on mutual recognition and exchange of national driver's licenses. To exchange national driver's licenses, drivers will only need to submit a document of permanent residence in the country, an original driver's license and a valid medical certificate.
