# The Driving Licences (Exchangeable Licences) (Amendment) Order 2002

S.I. 2002/1593 · made 17 June 2002

The Driving Licences (Exchangeable Licences) Order 1984 designates various countries and territories as countries and territories who have satisfactory provision for the issue of driving licences. A person who holds such a licence may exchange their licence for a corresponding British licence. The effect of this Order is to remove Kenya from the list of countries and territories so designated. The holder of a Kenyan driving licence will therefore no longer be able to exchange that licence for a corresponding British one.
