REPLACEMENT OF FOREIGN DRIVER'S LICENSE WITH MONGOLIAN DRIVER'S LICENSE VERIFICATION
This procedure is regulated by the Law on Road Traffic Safety of Mongolia and the "Procedure for Issuing Driving Licenses" sanctioned by Order No. A/189 of the Minister of Justice in 2015.
In cases of discrepancy in the classification during the exchange of a national driver's license for a Mongolian driver's license, the primary category will be adhered to. For foreign citizens, the license will be issued for the duration of the validity of their original driver's license if issued for the first time. Upon the request of diplomatic representatives from embassies and consulates in Mongolia, as well as their family members, a national driver's license of the same class as their foreign license may be issued directly.
