Validity and Use of International Driving Licences
For holders of EU or EEA licences, an international driving licence does not offer any added value for driving within the EEA, as it always has to be shown together with the Community model national driving licence. Those from outside the EU may apply for an International Driving Licence in their country of origin. They may drive in Belgium with an international licence for one year, but must also carry their national driving licence. However, once officially resident in Belgium (that is, registered with the local commune), all non-EU drivers should obtain a Belgian driving licence.Further Information
