Times are changing, and this also applies to driving licenses. From January 1, 2025, anyone born after January 1, 1971 who still holds a gray or pink driver's license must take action. These old driving licenses lose their validity and must be exchanged for the modern credit card version.
Exchanging driving licenses is not just a recommendation, but a legal obligation. Anyone who fails to comply will face a fine of 10 euros if they use their old driving license after the deadline. This is to ensure that all drivers meet current safety standards and use the new driver's licenses, which are more tamper-proof.
