How to get a driving licence without a residence permit?
According to the Cabinet of Ministers' Resolution No. 454, internally displaced persons of Ukraine have the right to obtain a driver's licence even if they do not have a residence permit or their registered place of residence is in the temporarily occupied territory.
In this case, IDPs can pass the exams and obtain a licence without a document confirming their residence. However, the following information must be provided:
● a certificate of IDP registration;
● information about the person's actual place of residence.
Representatives of the Ministry of Integration of Ukraine note that the documents do not have to be submitted in paper form, as a digital certificate can be submitted in the state application ‘Diia’ if necessary.
