Foreign Driving License Conversion

[ScottulusMaximus]

Anyone done this?

Now that I have SA citizenship I need to convert my Zimbabwean license, what do I need to take with?

I'm in Pretoria.

just take your license with you to the license center, you will have to do some paperwork and provide pictures, but at least you won't have to take any tests (well, maybe eye test).

Gawd, I have to get a letter from the Zimbabwean licensing department confirming my license is legit... Fun times!

I heard that you must convert your D/L within 2 years of getting permanent residence. Did you get citizenship straight without getting permanent residence.

It's within 1 year, got it a month or so ago. I got citizenship straight via descent thru my mom who's South African.
