TORONTO – Ontario is extending its reciprocal driver’s licence exchange agreements to Ireland.
The province says drivers moving between Ontario and Ireland can now exchange their licences without having to take a written or road test.
Drivers who hold a valid Ireland class B licence will be allowed to exchange it for an Ontario class G licence if they have two or more years of driving experience in the past three years.
They also must meet vision and medical standards.

Ontario has similar agreements with Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Britain, the Isle of Man, Japan, Northern Ireland, South Korea, Switzerland, most American states and all Canadian jurisdictions.
