Surrendering your driving licence for certain vehicle type


If you decide to stop driving a motor vehicle of certain category, you can give up your driving licence. You just need to fill out a form, which is available below, and submit it along with your driving licence at any municipal authority with extended powers.

At the same time, if you wish to keep hold of a driving licence for a certain category of vehicle, you need to apply for a new licence.

Please note that giving up a driving licence is irreversible, therefore, if you decide to renew the previously surrendered driving licence, you will need to undergo training in a driving school, pass an exam and then apply for a new driving licence.

Where to go?

If you wish to apply for a new international driving licence, you need to visit a municipal authority with extended powers. List of those (206 in the Czech Republic) is available on a map below.
