Actually and ideally, any international driver's license must be accompanied by the national driver's license

Actually, u may need ur local nigerian license in order to obtain d international license here in nigeria, buh once u leave d shores of Nigeria to a foreign country, d local license becums invalid... Foreign country does not need ur local license for anything... All dey need is d international license or international driving permit..

TechAddiction:



Wenever u intend to travel to any country of ur choice, and u wish to drive around d country.. you can obtain d international license here in nigeria before leaving for d country.. it's always 1yr validity before it expires, buh it can be renewed..

It depends on the "abroad" country. I still use my Nigerian license to drive here in Australia, though we are given some months to change to their national licence. International license is not accepted. Students and visitors here can use their nigerian licences throughout the duration of their stay

Benuromi:
You can use Nigeria driving licence in the UK for 1 year ( when u move or visit, must have insurance that cover you) and after that, you will have to apply for UK driving licence ( you will do all the theory and practical test)

hahahaha...thank god u said UK not EU

PrecisionFx:



You would need an international drivers license to drive in any country on earth, but to convince Nigerian police on that na ur personal wahala.
.

Not true, not true. International license is not accepted in Australia.

We have our own laws here. Does Nigeria look like banana republic?

DONT BE IGNORANT YOUNG MAN. Google can deliver you from this embarrassing position. She can drive in Nigeria with an International Driving licence obtained from his/her country of residence

Imaging, they look down on a sovereign nation that has its laws.

Hello,
You can drive in the EU with your Nigerian Driving Licence

cyrilfosy:
@ op can we use Nigerian driving license to drive in Europe....... this should answer ur question

Yes you can use the Nigerian International Licence here, will be giving a period of 6months to change.

Yes.

No.

nurey:
Driving licences and vehicles. Foreign nationals are allowed in Nigeria using their foreign licences for three months and international licence for a period of one year. During this time they are expected to apply for a Nigerian driver's license. Information can be found on the Federal Road Safety Commission website

i hope you can prove the bolded to
1. police
2. Army
3. Vio
4. NSCDC
5. NCS
6. State/local road enforcement agencies

K024:


No ma.

You don't get a new license if you're not planning to stay. All you need is your Nigerian driving license (sometimes plus an international drivers license which you will also take with you from Nigeria)

OK, thanks

Its very possible. Have been using my Nigerian license both in Nigeria and Turkey. As long as it is valid......you can use it anywhere in the world.
Some people esp. Nigerians here choose to get an international driving license in other to hide their country's identity.

Is Nigeria part of EU?

For 10yrs in EU ? As a taxi driver or tourist ? Get currencies alongside for settlement

analryder:
My fellow Nigerians, I would want to confirm if it is possible to drive in Nigeria with an EU Driving Licence and not get help up by law enforcement.

I have been driving for about 10yrs within the EU-region.

Yes, for a limited time. Get info. from the Road Safety Commision.

tony9k:
To the person who asked, yes as a visitor you are allowed to use your Nigerian licence to drive in the UK for a limited period ( I think year) in the UK. Ditto for the US. The issue is that Uk drives on the left and US on the right ( same as nigeria) so must visitors are more comfortable driving in the US as visitors. By the way you don't need the " International divers licence"

You re wrong correct urself

Yeah you are right. I drove with my Nigéria's License for sometime before getting my Européenne one here in France

Naija man in town for less than 3 months(with strong proof) or expatriates,
they will usually free you to go after shaking bodi small.

But if you are a naija man in town for more than 3 months, just get your National Driver's License.


It's WAY less stressful on the road with the uniforms.

I speak from personal experience

sanandreas:

It looks like a first class banana republic

Yes,you are allowed to use it for a year.
So keep your mouth full of poo shut

lexy2014:
u wan show urself abi?can u use Nigerian drivers license in d EU?

WHY IS IT CALLED EU PERMIT?

sanandreas:


Can I use Nigeria driver's license in UK? Logical reasoning. The driving code in UK is different from Nigeria.

You can apply for international drivers license here in Nigeria

mctowel01:

Not true, not true. International license is not accepted in Australia.

I don't know about specifics, but I know the international driver license covers the whole world..... Though there should be some nations who would have slightly twisted rules like the Australia u mentioned

Peacegalore:

y should I?I love 2 kiss u with that mouth. there's love in sharing

issorite...cheers

Yes you can. I used my UK driving license in Nigeria when I visited home for christmas (2016). As a confirmation, I was even stopped by FRSC (Road Safety) Officials and I produced the license upon request which was acceptable to them. I got busted for something else though. My passenger wasnt wearing his seat belt (I didnt notice this earlier).

it is certernly funny how africans especially nigerians react when they happen to meet a colored person. please brothers and sister i am in europe now and i can directly tell you that there are nothing special about the these colored people but most unexpossed africans are suffering from inferriority madness. the truth is that african and for sure nigeria in its current state and statute is far better than many many eurpean countries and nigerians and individuals are far better and richer and we to do than average italian, polish, belgium, romanians, and a whole lot of other europeans. but who no know, no know and some of you waste alot of yout hard made liquid cash to come here only to disapointed. sorry but if you don't have relatives in europe w can give true infos, then save your future because nigeria in it's woste state is better for you as nigerian.

meanwhile, the so called OP here is just a local yahoo boy that copied and pasted unknown person's ID just to cash small brains to defraud them after they might think it is real. unfuturnatly, many naijas are very very small brains and illitrates even after attending UNIversity. Sorry no mean abuse

see as you analyse am with confidence....you are actually wrong on the term that your local licence becomes invalid once you get into a foreign country...using canada as a reference, once you bring an original local naija licence, they will ask you if you want to use it for 6months because once they collect it, they will first verify its authenticity and then destroy it....they will then give you a waiver for a learner's licence....which means you can go directly for a road test to get a class 5........atleast thats what they did to me

PrecisionFx:

i don't it is accepted in canada too.....i think its because the authenticity is hard to confirm. They prefer the local licence
