Closed 762 signatures

What the petition asks

Add Israel to the ‘Designated countries‘ list to allow Israelis to exchange their Israeli driving licence to a UK one.
More 21,000 Israeli citizens live in all the UK.

In Israel any citizen can exchange his driving licence from a UK to and Israeli one.

It is the time for the UK government to recognise the Israeli driving licence for exchange as well, like the state of Israel does.

Anyone holds a UK driving licence and have a legal right to live in Israel can exchange his driving licence to an Israeli one.
