When you exchange your foreign driver's license for a Korean one, is there a document that confirms your driving experience?

When you exchange your foreign license for a Korean one, the Korean license will show an original issue date that matches your foreign license issue date. Car-sharing services like SoCar and GreenCar check this date to verify your driving experience, so you do not need a separate certificate.

To exchange your license, visit a driver license testing center with your foreign license, passport, ARC, a license verification letter from your embassy or a notarized translation, and 3 passport photos. You will do a basic physical check and can get your Korean license the same day. Depending on your country, you may or may not need to take the written test, so it is a good idea to call the testing center beforehand to confirm what applies to you.
