Driving licenses

In Canada, all issues about driving licenses are handled by the Provinces and the Territories, which each have separate legislation. It is highly recommended to check their websites. 

Neither the Embassy nor the Consulate General are competent to issue a certificate regarding a Belgian driver’s license. Therefore, instead, you are kindly requested to contact the Belgian municipality (‘gemeente’ / ‘commune’) where you have been registered last. 

Only in seven provinces, Belgians living in Canada can exchange their Belgian driving license for a local driving license:
