Whether you need to obtain a new driving licence when living in Luxembourg depends on your nationality. Driving licences can be issued from the Service des Permis de Conduire (SNCA).
You can use your foreign driving licence for up to six months in Luxembourg. If you stay longer, you may have to exchange it to a Luxembourgian one. If your licence is not in German, French or English it has to be translated. Non-EEA nationals have to exchange it within one year of residency. EEA nationals only have to register their licence or may exchange it if desired.
If you have held your driving licence for less than two years you will have to attend a one-day training course at the Colmar-Berg driver training centre (Centre de Formation pour Conducteurs ).
