To make an exchange the following must apply:

1. The licence is issued by a state which has ratified the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic or is a member state of the European Union (EU) or of the European Economic Area (EEA) or has signed a reciprocal agreement with Monaco
2. The licence is still valid
3. The licence was issued following a practical test
4. The licence must be in French or, if not, accompanied by an official translation into French

If a practical test was not part of the original test to get a licence, the driver will need to pass a practical driving test before being allowed to exchange the licence.

If the above do not apply, the driver will need to take a full Monaco theory and practical driving exam.
