What to do
- Check the issuing state, licence validity and the applicable convention or international-document condition before driving.
- A non-EU licence is not automatically treated as unrecognised, but it is also not automatically a permanent Polish entitlement.
- Use the exchange route where residence and official recognition conditions require it; the authority may verify the issuing document.
