Driving licence renewal in Seychelles
Renewing a driving licence in Seychelles typically involves submitting an application, the expiring licence, and other required documents to the Land Transport Agency (LTA). A new licence is then issued after processing and payment of the applicable fee.
It is generally advisable to initiate the renewal process several weeks before the expiry date of the current driving licence. This allows ample time to gather all necessary documents, schedule any required appointments, and account for processing times by the Land Transport Agency, preventing any interruption in driving privileges.
