Every new resident coming from abroad is allowed to drive with the foreign driving license but asked to change it to a Swiss licence within the first 12 months. The foreign license expires after this deadline and driving in Switzerland without a valid License will be punished with a high fine and may result into legal consequenses.
For many nationalities it is a rather easy standard process to apply for a Swiss License by filling a form, seeing an optician for an eyesight test and handing in the required documents to the cantonal motor licensing authorities.
However, some nationalities have to pass a "control test" before receiving the new license and some few nationalities even have to take driving lessons before application is accepted.
We know about the requirements for the Change of Driving License application for any nationality and will guide you through the process, assist you with the respective forms, accompany you to an optician and authorities, arrange driving lessons and make sure your application will be handed in correctly.
