Driving licence & permits

Concerning the documents, foreign driving licences are valid for three months. After that a Libyan licence must be obtained. When staying longer than three months every foreigner driving in Libya must obtain the local driving licence. The simplest way of getting it is to come to the country with an international driving licence and, with the help of a local contact, try, to get a Libyan driving licence if possible. Car rental agencies should help you in getting all the necessary documents. A special aspect of Libya concerning foreign drivers is that it was one of the first and few countries with Russia that actually identifies any car owned by a foreigner through a special number located in a blue frame showing its correspondent country number.
