Can you renew or exchange an expired driver's license in Georgia (for foreigners)?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 13 days ago
TL;DR
Yes — in Georgia you can take a full driving exam as an external candidate (medical certificate + test + license issue) for about 100 GEL. Georgian border guards at the Larsi crossing rarely check license validity.
What the community said
At the Larsi border crossing, an expired license is almost never an issue — it's the Russian side that tends to be strict about it, not the Georgian side.

Easiest option is to take the local driving exam as an external candidate (not a document exchange, but a fresh exam): medical certificate, test, and license issuance together cost around 100 GEL.

Many people ask whether an expired Russian license can be officially exchanged through Georgian authorities without traveling back — there's no direct document swap, only a new local exam.
