Exchange Your Foreign Driver's License for a Swiss License

Are you an expat or a foreign resident in Switzerland with a valid driver's license from another country? Navigating the process of exchanging your foreign driver's license for a Swiss one can be complex and overwhelming. That's where Driving School Stefan comes in to make the journey smooth and hassle-free for you.

With years of experience assisting individuals like yourself, I specialize in helping foreign drivers seamlessly transition to a Swiss driver's license. As an expert in Swiss road regulations and license conversion procedures, I understand the intricacies involved in the process.

At Driving School Stefan, I offer personalized guidance and step-by-step support throughout the entire exchange procedure. From understanding the necessary documentation to preparing for any required tests or evaluations, I will be by your side, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the requirements and making the process as convenient as possible for you.

If you stay in Switzerland for more than 12 months (entry date according to the valid residence permit), you must exchange your foreign driver's license and license plates.

We recommend submitting the conversion request before the end of the 12 months so that you are entitled to drive without interruption.

If you drive a category B, B1, C, C1, D, D1 or F vehicle professionally, transport is not permitted before you receive the Swiss driver's license.

Information Department of Transportation (only in German and French)

A permanent driver's license is issued to individuals who have a foreign driver's license under the following conditions:

1. The license is for category A or B and was issued before December 1, 2005.

2. The license was issued on or after December 1, 2005, and had been valid for at least one year by the time the individual established residency in Switzerland.

If neither of these conditions is met, the driver's license will be granted on a provisional basis.

Google review of Driving School Stefan by Shivaraj Mb★★★★★ "I came to know about Stefan through one of my friends. Her impression was so positive and so without a second thought, I contacted Stefan. He arranged our first appointment where he came, took a demo test and pointed out my strong and weak points. We started by focusing on my weak points. I took around 10 lessons before the exam. Each time he noted down my progress. After each class, I got my progress report via google sheets, where I can see my scores, my chances to clear the test, weak points where I should focus more, notes on what should be improved etc.. Apart from that, I got a self evaluation sheets where I can note myself on what I feel myself did right and didn't in each class. So, I always had the chance to look back at my mistakes and the strong side. I believe, it is most important for a learner as exchanging the license is not just about learning, but unlearning our old bad habits, relearning new techniques and thus a new traffic culture. During my classes, I made some terrible mistakes but I never saw him angry. Each time, he just explained to me the cause of the mistake and what can be done to avoid such mistakes in the future. He is always positive, a great teacher, a great mentor and of course a great supporter. I remember that on the day of my test, I was too nervous and he made me comfortable as always... And also I should add that, I successfully completed my test... If you are planning to have a teacher, there is no need to give a second thought. Just go ahead and call Stefan... This man has a great vibe. Thank you very much Stefan. 🙏"
